Remodel SSC Cafeteria Space Print All

Initiative Title	Remodel SSC Cafeteria Space
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	After open forums with the student body, Student Senate conversations with the Director of CSI and President of the college, and review of student spaces on campus, it is clear that students need a designated space to hold club meetings, a place to call "home" between classes, an updated event space, and an enclosed game room that does not interfere with all the former. Upon review of the SSC cafeteria, it has been learned that students feel it is dark, dreary, uninviting, and the space does not meet their needs as clubs and as students needing a location to spend time between classes. The CSI officers are also distant from where the clubs meet, being on a completely different floor, and staff needs to be physically closer and present to better support and enhance student involvement.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	There will continue to be conflicts where clubs have no space to meet, staff is not as physically accessible to involved students, and students will not have interest in remaining on campus. Overall retention may suffer if students do not feel comfortable when they are physically on campus or feel like they have a location designated for them to spend their time. Involvement will decrease if clubs do not have the physical locations to meet or if they continue to meet face barriers in establishing their groups.
Department Goals	Create an established and expanded student space on campus for club meetings, student comfort/lounging, events, and game room.

Institutional Goals

Goal	How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
STRATEGIC PLAN 2020-2025 Empower Student Success: Equitably link students with their aspirations Goal #1: Identify and reduce the barriers to academic and personal success	Giving students a place to decompress after class will reduce the stress of finding a comfortable place on campus between classes. Students who are involved are more likely to succeed academically. Creating a physical space that allows for that involvement will overall support the academic and personal goals of our students.
MIDDLESTATES STANDARDS 4 Support of the Student Experience	This will enhance the increasing student involvement experience we have seen since returning to campus after the pandemic. The student experience includes feeling a sense of belonging which is crucial to student retention. A space that is inviting students to feel like they have a home at the college outside of the classroom will help to create that sense of belonging.
