Cutler to get the student opinion
Cutler Health Center, the on-campus health care facility at The University of Maine, is making some changes. Despite losing its pharmacist of 20 years earlier this month, Cutler is moving forward in an effort to better serve the student body.
In an attempt to allow students to express their opinions regarding campus health care, Cutler has established a student advisory board, which will encourage communication of student ideas by providing a forum for them to discuss any concerns they may have regarding the health center or its policies.
This move will allow students to have a say in how health care is approached here at UMaine. Nurse practicioner Bonnie Clark will serve as the liason between Cutler and the student advisers.
Health care issues should no longer be viewed as unimportant or overwhelming because this forum will provide students accessibility to information concerning their health and overall well-being.
We at The Maine Campus feel anytime students are allowed to have representation in pertinent issues, such as healthcare, is a step forward for our campus as a whole.
A piece of pizza for peace of mind
Pizza. Everyone loves it, especially University of Maine students. We here at The Maine Campus applaud a recent decision by Interim President Robert Kennedy and Dean of Students Robert Dana to host a free pizza social with students.
For far too long, the administration at the university has ignored its largest demographic: students. One need only to look at the Kennedy’s predecessor to witness a perfect example of inaction and indifference.
And yet while we commend the current administration, we also implore them to make reachibg out to students the rule and not the exception. Students should be able to look forward to eating anchovies with the interim president while talking about their favorite class, amazing meatloaf at the commons or maybe even that green growth in the dorm showers they would like to see removed.
It comes down to this: When we’re all working together, things go better for everyone.
