Laundry Initiative
SGA surveyed students and researched laundry options. As a result of their work, a new vendor, Mac-Gray Corporation. New machines were installed with unlimited use for residents. Residents activate the machines with their student IDs. Additionally, with the LaundryView system, students are able to receive alerts when clothes are ready and also check machine availability.
Security Initiative
SGA proposed the installation of additional security cameras on campus. As a result of their work, additional cameras were installed in the residence halls.
Parking Initiative
Several years ago SGA proposed a change to the parking policies. The proposal was submitted to the University Administrative Cabinet and approved. As a result, students are now allowed to park in faculty and commuter spots between 5pm-7am.
Curfew Initiative
During the spring 2011 semester, SGA proposed the elimination of curfew for freshmen. The proposal was submitted to the University Administrative Cabinet and approved.
Dancing Initiative
During the fall 2009 semester, SGA submitted a proposal requesting that the Fall Formal and a Spring Fling dance be allowed to be held on the ETBU campus. The proposal was approved, and the first on-campus Spring Fling was held on March 6, 2010. This event was hosted by SAB (Student Activities Board). As a result of SGA's work, the University now authorizes two campus dances each year through the Office of Student Engagement. Dance performances by other University-sanctioned groups are coordinated by various University departments.
