Although the possibilities are limitless, the committee is quick to stress the sketchiness of this stage of decision-making. Our task is simply to gather feedback and make recommendations. The committee has not received a minimum or maximum Student Center expense level. To ensure a perfectly-tailored hangout spot, the committee will call or visit Wheaton College, Center College, Indiana Wesleyan University, Cornerstone College, Union College in Kentucky, Union University in Tennessee, Messiah College, Berea College, Cumberland College, Campbellsville University, Kentucky Wesleyan College, Spring Harbor College, Alice Lloyd College, Lindsey Wilson College and Thomas More College. Asking questions about range and frequency of student use, the committee will assess the strengths and weaknesses of their student centers.
Members are also eager for local input.
Students pass Morrison-Kenyon Library on their way to morning classes. The student-faculty committee is considering many ideas for sections of the building, including moving offices or adding a coffee shop, when the building is converted to a student center at Kinlaw Library's opening next year. House Bill 322 also re-affirms the state fire marshal's jurisdiction on campuses, both public and private, and its authority over fire investigations. This bill emphasizes fire prevention and campus safety and gives the public access to information it needs. Combined, these provisions will make a profound difference.
