Reform the Cruiser Schedule
We’ve been working with Birnie Bus all year to try to make the Cruiser more reliable, and we’re happy to say that the latest changes should make it that way. Now, any Cruiser you get on will get you to class on time, and we’ve set up an online Cruiser Schedule finder to help figure [...]

Gym Hours
We know that students are upset that some morning gym hours have been cut, and we’re searching for funding sources around campus to re-open the gym during those times. We’re also looking into the possibility of allowing students to work out during the “faculty hour” of 12-1.

Downtown Meal Plan
We know that students get tired of Frank and the Coop, and we’re looking into the possibility of a downtown meal plan , either as an alternative to an on-campus meal plan, or as a supplementary “coupon book” sort of project. If you have any suggestions, please contact Andrew Pike at bpike@colgate.edu
The most important part of SGA is responding to student needs. We've put together a set of projects & goals based on the responses of a broad group of students, but we want to hear more about what you want changed at Colgate.
