Opinion boards location 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday University Center mall, Central Library mall and around the Maverick Activities Center Student Congress will have opinion boards set up across campus next week, Monday through Thursday, to encourage students to voice their thoughts on university issues. When passing the boards, students can attach notes stating how they feel about campus issues like moving to a tobacco-free campus, the idea of remodeling Ransom Hall, textbook and education costs and “other.” The three boards will be in the University Center mall, Central Library mall and the Maverick Activities Center. “It’s an easy way for students to get their voices heard on these issues,” said SC program director Aaron Resendez. “We’ll look closely at what they say by compiling a list at the end of the program.” He said this is the first year that SC has done something like this, and he said that they got the idea from Virginia Tech. “It’s been working for them for many years,” he said. “We’ll see how it goes, depending on feedback, we’re hoping to do it every year.” The following week, a forum will be held for students to directly speak with their senators and the SC executive board about what they had placed on the opinion boards.
