Is there adequate parking at Jarvis?


Jarvis Christian College has developed a beautiful new dorm titled the Sebetha Jenkins Living and Learning Center. Extended from the dorm is a grill that is supplied and furnished by Sedexho-Marriott Inc., student mail boxes, and the office of Student Affairs.


The dorm in my opinion is a very substantial mark of change for Jarvis christian college. The only downfall to the LLC is the amount of parking that is alluded for students, faculty, and staff. While in construction of the dorm the students during the 2007-2008 school year had an opportunity to express themselves on issues with the dorm as well as changes they would want to see. Parking was an issue that was mention, although it was never addressed and I know they only wish they would have listened to the students because the students see what the faculty doesn't see.


While in my senior year I have stayed in the LLC and parking is a big issue for me. Not only is it just a big issue for me faculty and staff have to park along the curb in order to get to the office of student affairs because the parking just isn't adequate enough for a dorm and office of its magnitude.


Before I leave the "college with the personal touch" my voice and opinions will be heard and after I graduate my money will not go toward this school until I see a drastic change. With Dr. Jenkins gone and a new President coming in, I expect things to CHANGE. Barack Obama has campaigned on change for America, well I want to be the leader of CHANGE at Jarvis and I hope all the other students will join me on this.


"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time.
We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek".
