Bear Line Signage Improved on Campus

by

Students may soon find it easier to navigate campus, as Bear Line signage was recently updated.

As a response to student concern and confusion, SGA’s Research and Development Committee worked with campus officials to ensure that each official Bear Line stop is properly marked with a sign. This update makes it easier for students to know exactly where Bear Line shuttles will be stopping to pick up or drop off students.

Each Bear Line sign is color-coded to indicate which specific route stops at that location. Locations used by more than one route are marked to reflect all of the routes which stop there.

For more information, please contact Paige Oxendine, Chief Communications Officer, at Oxendine100@live.missouristate.edu.

New Projects for R&D

by

The Research and Development has been hard at work at bringing new projects and ideas to Missouri State. The current projects we’re working on include: Bearline GPS tracking, improving the Missouri State website, a campus wide yard sale, joining the Tree Campus USA program, and working to get weekly polls out for the Public Opinion Poll.

Tree Campus USA

  • The Tree Campus USA program would bring additional trees to campus that were lost during the great ice storm of 2007.
  • We’re currently researching the requirements of the program and are in talks with various university organizations.

Campus Wide Yard Sale

  • This program would allow all students to setup a table on campus towards the end of the year to sell any excess items they would like to get rid of.
  • We’re looking at doing this event towards the end of April or beginning of May.

Improving MissouriState.edu

  • We have begun researching our current website and will focus on how we can improve this site in various ways.
  • We would like this site to be as attractive and useful to both current Missouri State and perspective students, as well as faculty and staff.

If you have any questions about the projects that R&D is working on or have a super awesome idea you can stop by our committee meetings on Tuesday’s at 4:45pm in PSU 310 or shoot me an email at thomas007@live.missouristate.edu

New SGA Website

by

I would like to welcome you all to the new and improved Student Government Association website. This new version was designed with students in mind. We have worked hard to provide more transparency in what your student government does.

We will be starting a weekly public opinion poll for the students. There will be a short poll published each week that will cover various topics that concern students. Please check back every week so that your voice can be heard!

The website still has several upcoming features, which include: improved navigation, senator attendance records, blogging comments and many more. Stay tuned as these features will be appearing shortly.

If you are ever to have any problems or suggestions for the site, please send me an email: thomas007@live.missouristate.edu.
