Student Government SG Generic

Cassidy Meyers grabbed a piece of red chalk to write “Lib West needs more plugs” on a chalkboard Thursday morning.

Thursday was the last day Impact Party representatives asked students to contribute ideas on how to improve UF for the party’s upcoming platform. For the past three days from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., party representatives spoke with students on Turlington Plaza and North Lawn. Representatives at each location recorded hundreds of suggestions, said Impact Party President Janae Moodie.

“We’ve had some good discussions,” she said. “So far, everything has been going really smoothly.”

Impact’s platform should be released early next week, although there’s not an official date, Moodie said.

Meyers, a UF zoology sophomore, said she votes in Student Government elections so her voice can be heard.

“They make some important decisions,” the 19-year-old said.

Other ideas included lowering student fees and decal prices and placing stoplights outside the Reitz Union parking garage.

Outside of the Reitz, 18-year-old Megan Cabana posed for a picture, holding a chalkboard that read “more water fountains.”

“I get really dehydrated when I’m walking to class,” the UF communication sciences and disorders freshman said.

Before platform-generating, Cabana said she hadn’t talked with SG senators since starting college this semester.

“I haven’t actually heard of them until just now,” she said. “I would want to learn more so I could know what I’m voting for, if I voted.”
