There are so many “little things” in need of improvement within residence halls. “Lousy mirrors.” “Broken water machines.” “Missing shower curtains.” These are the kinds of things which really make a difference in the everyday lives of Hoyas. As a member of the student life committee, my main focus is to improve these things systematically: 1. Survey students to identify the most prominent issues. 2. Discuss these issues within small groups to identify which issues we ought to prioritize. 3. Articulate these issues to administrators until we achieve our desired results.
