With a single, lone wall post to their Facebook page, Brockport Student Government has finally given me what I hope is just the first of a number of actions I feel worthy of my praise here. The post, which I quote in full below, is just what I was hoping for—something which actually helps students at the college over winter break, utilizes the mandatory fees we pay to better our experience, and finally, is something they’ve actually given a really good reason for doing.
Go to the Union Square on Thursday, January 13th anytime between 11:00am-1:30pm for a free lunch from BSG! Choose between a 16oz drink with: 2 slices of cheese/pepperoni pizza OR 1 slice of cheese/pepperoni pizza and a small bag of chips!
Now, this is not something out of the ordinary, in fact as long as I can remember BSG has been having free lunch days at the Student Union—but this semester I noticed it and for that I must give BSG props. Look, during winter break the options for students to eat on campus are severely limited and eating off campus can get expensive. Students who take classes over breaks pay a small mandatory fee to BSG and it is great to see it being used to better the experience for students who’ve stayed behind. Great job BSG, great job.
