What would you build? Y our Student Association, after years of discussion finally attended the college’s first committee meeting to seriously discuss the conceptualization and planning of a new student-focused building on the Kingston Campus. These discussions have been happening behind the scenes for the last few years between SA executives and officials of the college. We are in an exciting time because there is an opportunity for the students that will follow us to have a more functional space to call their own. The Student Association is a key member of this decision making team. Our team knows that it is unfortunate this process had not started five years ago so the shovels would be in the ground now but we can only move as fast as the process will allow. The right circumstances are in place to have this project moving forward. Your Student Association is looking forward at the welfare of our future members. Enhancing their college experience and better serving our membership is a value of the Student Association as described by your elected Board of Directors. Think of what you need now but also imagine yourself as a new student five years from now: • What are the services and spaces you want out of a college? • What services need to be improved or could benefit from a new space? • How could your college experience have been improved with more space? • What is your dream for a new Student-Centered facility on campus?
