Tanner Polce, president of SGA, proposed $20,000 from the organization’s budget to begin funding for the streetscape program, as the Student Government Association began wrapping up the last projects of the semester.

Congress voted and passed the proposal April 11.

Polce spoke at four different Dover town council meetings and he finally got the approval for the project.

“[This project] will transform our campus into a safer, rural campus,” Polce said. “It will allow for more green space.”

Polce wants Wesley to show commitment to the streetscape project.

“Twenty-thousand dollars won’t demolish a house, but it’ll reach out to alumni,” Polce said. “It will spearhead a PR campaign.”

SGA also is working on a new involvement site for student organizations called OrgSync.

The student activities website, collegiatelink.net, has given organizations trouble logging in, setting up rosters, events or inputting budget and purchase requests.

Polce explained that OrgSync is an up-to-date program and would be like the Facebook of student organizations.

“The website would launch this summer,” Polce said. “Overall, a 3-year contract costs $20,000, but we’re looking for partnerships with the Office of Student Activities and other organizations.”

Polce said CollegiateLink would cost $9,000 for another three-year process.

“You’re going to pay more [for OrgSync], but you’re going to get a better product,” said Sarah Smith, SGA advisor.

Bryan Zarou, vice president, said 97 people participated in the Insta’flix survey – asking whether students would want the service on campus – and 78 percent said they would use Insta’flix.

Zarou said, however, that he would need more feedback from students before getting the service.
