Owens was encouraging students to increase the amount of credit hours
they were taking and called it Take 15. This was meant to ensure that
students completed their degree within the two year time frame. While
this is possible for some students it is not for others. Some students
felt they were being pressured to take on more than they could handle.
Johnson and Giordano assured them that Owens did not intend to put any
undue pressure on anyone, Take 15 was merely a suggestion.
Some
students voiced concern about the lack of healthy snack choices in the
vending machines and requested that there be a larger food selection at
the Fireside Grill. The response given to these students was that it had
been done in the past but the healthier options had not sold well.
However, they did say they would be willing to try it again.
A
lack of advertisement for activities and clubs was also brought up.
Students said that they wanted their experience here at Owens to be
about more than just working toward their degree and graduating; they
also want to get involved so they can network. More table toppers and TV
promotions were suggested as ways to better get the word out. Johnson
said they are trying to promote what's going on around campus the best
they can through Ozone, Stall Talk and OTV.
