USG has had a meeting with the administrator who plans graduation. Although we only get 4 guests per person, you are able to request extra tickets!
Last year everyone who requested extra tickets ended up getting them (except for someone who requested 16 tickets).
They have also created other options to make it easier for your friends and family to attend graduation. For graduation this May, there will be an extra section in Kafadar for ANYONE to come and watch, no tickets needed. The section will be on the other side of Kafadar. It will have a giant screen set up where ticketless guests may sit and watch the graduation happening on the other side of Kafadar.
I agree that 4 sounds like a few, but in past years it has almost always ended up working out.

The following is a portion of a recent campus-wide email was sent out from Anna Welscott:
“Policy changes will accompany the addition of the new lots, which will reduce the number of vehicles on campus. Based on feedback received through the series of campus meetings held this past fall, policy changes include limiting the number of vehicles authorized for freshman resident hall students through a waiver/lottery system of 200 permits, and restricting Mines Park residents from purchasing a General or Commuter permit. These policy changes will reduce the number of vehicles parking on the main campus by approximately 400, and will open up spaces for the students, faculty, and staff who commute to campus.”
With this, we conclude this issue as Freshman parking will face a different structure starting this semester.

USG is planning to post all Board of Trustee documents on our website. Keep a lookout so you can get this information there!

So this post is old, but we have new info! First, I believe a blinking light was put in to allow pedestrians to cross more easily, so hopefully that helped! However, part of the 6th and 19th crossing planning includes putting a roundabout at the 19th and Elm intersection. This won’t be in construction for another year or so but will probably cause some issues in the future. Just want to let you all know that USG voiced our concerns to the planning committee at the last meeting about 6th and 19th about the pedestrian crossing, but that is all we can do for now!

UPDATE: Contact Laura Medley to get information about classroom committee: lmedley@mines.edu
There is a classroom committee dedicated to providing funds for things like this. We don’t have the contact info for the committee head currently but we will find out who it is! Once we do they should be able to tell you how to apply to replace the desks in Coolbaugh.

After looking in to this more we have found that this will never be a possibility. Sorry!
I believe that the definition of an successful engineering student is someone who doesn't get enough sleep... and in most cases, this lack of sleep is due to the students studying well into the AMs. But because the most used computer labs on the campus (library and ctlm) close before the AMs, it makes it much more difficult for an engineering student to be successful.
Now, the main difference between Mines and CU, is that Mines puts out much more successful and extremely superior graduates. But without sufficient places to study during the wee hours or the night, we will only become somewhat superior graduates over CU. So the question is, do we want to be extremely superior, or somewhat superior? And in order to get there, the hours of the computer labs (at an engineering school) must be extended to accommodate the typical engineering student.
