Projects & Services

The Projects & Services Committee is charged with two main objectives:

1. To oversee the various departments that provide student services (parking, dining, housing, campus facilities, bookstore, security, etc.), and work to continually improve their quality.
2. To enhance all aspects of the campus environment and student life, through assessment and improvement of facilities, structures, programs and policies relevant to the student body.

The Committee works intimately with administrators, the heads of departments and University Offices in achieving these objectives. It also thrives on student feedback, allowing the committee to represent the student opinion as accurately as possible.  Common projects are exemplified by improvements to dining, facilities, health services, transportation, and security.  Continued services include City Cycles, the Collegiate Readership Program, and Thanksgiving break shuttles.  If you have any questions or comments, you are encouraged to contact the committee by selecting "Ideas for New Campus Projects" on our Feedback Page or by emailing the co-chairs.

Dining Services LogoThis year in special needs dining there have already been great strides in helping dining services be more accommodating to those that have dietary restrictions.  First of all soy ice cream is now available in the corner store. Besides getting new foods on campus, we are also working on communication with the student body.  The SA Projects & Services Committee is hosting a focus group on Decemeber 1st to address the needs of religious groups, those with allergies, vegetarians, etc.  Anybody interested in participating or voicing their opinion can contact the SA Special Needs Dining Representative, Leah Spungen, (lspungen@u.rochester.edu) or Christina Hoh (hoh-christina@aramark.com), Dining's Dietetic Intern.
