RECENT SUCCESSes

1. In March 2015, almost 3,000 students signed the "Let's Not Get Screwed Again" petition demanding the timely completion of renovations, protections for students living off campus, and a student seat at the table in campus plan negotiations.
2. In April 2015, GUSA worked with administrators to establish the first-ever Student Master Planning Consortium to facilitate consistent and meaningful dialogue between student leaders and administrators on the issues raised by the petition campaign.
3. In July 2015, GUSA successfully secured two additional student seats on the GCP Steering Committee, the body that is negotiating and drafting the 2018 Campus Plan. The seats are occupied by Georgetown's student ANC Commissioners.
4. During the fall semester, GUSA planned two Hoya Roundtables on master planning and on transportation to ensure administrators are hearing student voices.
5. In November 2015, the GUSA Senate established a Subcommittee on the Campus Plan tasked with educating and engaging communities across campus. 
6. In February 2016, GUSA planned a Hoya Roundtable on the future of recreational athletics and also recruited new student representatives to the five GCP Working Groups.

ONGOING EFFORTS & NEXT STEPS

Student leaders remain in constant communication with administrators through the Student Master Planning Consortium. Goals for the spring include codifying the senior right to live off-campus, establishing a clear and realistic timeline for renovating residence halls, engaging new students in conversations with administrators and neighbors, and working with the University's campus planning consultant to write a draft version of the 2018 Campus Plan. As we enter this critically important semester, continue to reach out, speak up, and make your voice heard! GUSA's Secretary of Campus Planning is Ari Goldstein.
