Spring '09

Dear 'Canes:

Happy New Year and welcome back! The Spring 2009 semester is here and we are very excited for what is in store. Throughout the Fall semester we have worked on completing many projects that impact you. From ZipCar to extended dining hours to more commuter parking by the Wellness Center and UBikes all over campus, we have worked very hard to make our University that much better. Coming into 2009 we have many goals and are already working on several projects. The ZipCar program has expanded by the addition of two more vehicles at Mahoney/Pearson, 300 more UBikes are on their way and we continue to work on ESPNU, online registration, improved advising, our GreenU promises and much more! Click here for an update on all of our projects. We will continue to update our Initiatives page throughout the semester to keep you informed.

Also, elections are coming up! If you are interested in running for the Executive Board or for Senate please check back soon for more information.

Lastly, from the beginning the most important thing is hearing from you. Our Campus Involvement Committee: "Keeping The Commitment" will be asking to come and speak with several student organizations about how SG can continue to serve you. We will also hold several "Speak Up, Speak Out" events all over campus to get feedback from you. Let us know how we can continue to serve you! The promises are being kept but we have to do more to continue to serve you best. Please let us know how we can do that.

Go 'Canes!
