Opinions needed

There’s a place for everything, including your thoughts on the Pierce College campus. The Associated Students Organization (ASO) is planning to place suggestion boxes around campus where students can have a place to put all their opinions and recommendations about the campus.

“It’s kind of a great idea because I could see the potential in this college, just maybe more voices have to be heard,” kinesiology major Michael Magana said. “I would love to see more agriculture, to see more green and cleanliness toward the restrooms, so I guess that stuff can go in the suggestion box.”

The idea was brought up in a senate meeting last week by ASO senator Rita Ngaka. It’s not the first time the school has tried to put out suggestion boxes, however, this time they hope to encourage more responses by placing more boxes around the campus in accessible areas.

Rita Ngaka, an ASO senator, recommended the suggested box to be put on campus to increase students involvement.

“Primarily our job as senators is to advocate for students,” Ngaka said. “Yes were students, but we’re only one student, so we only know what we’ve been through personally, and that’s very limited because it’s only ourselves, so if we’re going to advocate for the entire student body we need a place where we can get complaints and what the students want, not just our own experience.”

Ngaka, said the suggestion box is merely an idea but is still in discussion.

The ASO seemed to be interested in the suggestion box on campus or online.

“I just thought of the suggestion box, we haven’t really talked about how we’re going to do it, where it’s going to be, how long it’s going to be there, is it permanent,” Ngaka said.
