Almost 90 percent of voters want Einstein's Bagels in the Haley Center and Panera Bread in the Mell Street building, according to SGA Executive Vice President of Initiatives Trey Fields.
“Really big shout out to you guys … we got 3,299 responses and then we had 2,953 say that they wanted Einstein’s in the Haley Center and have Panera followed up at Mell Street,” Fields said. “So 2,953, which is about 89.5 percent of the vote.”
Fields said the majority wanted this arrangement, but there were other responses as well.
“Then 227 wanted it in Mell and there was 119 others, which became very interesting with a lot of colorful responses,” Fields said.
The desire for an Einstein’s Bagels in the Haley Center and a Panera Bread in the Mell Street classroom was overwhelming, according to Fields.
“That’s kind of the process and what students want,” Fields said. “We’re going to proceed with the resolution and a couple of you as senators are working on that, and we’ll have that coming through soon.”
Brandon Honeywell, SGA vice president, said the survey is a good experience for senators to learn how to keep things short and engaging, as well as a chance to make sure they’re double checking their work.
“It is smart to go ahead and talk with other people about something you’re thinking about writing before you send it through the committee,” Honeywell said.
Jesse Westerhouse, SGA president, then encouraged senators to come forward to the executive board if they had any goals they were passionate about for the coming year in SGA.
“Earlier in cabinet we had the chance to share all of our SGA goals for the year … just five big goals and a few subpoints under each,” Westerhouse said. “Feel free to make your own goals as well. We aren’t bound by those.”
