Cohesion: Keeping CBU students together one board at a time

Cohesion CBU has to be one of the best ideas to improve this school. As a resident  here at Christian Brothers University, I see and hear about more event than the average commuter. This app will better inform the commuters of the school about meetings and events that they may be interested in. Emails from the school sometimes are received too late so that is not very helpful for anyone here at the school. As far as the billions of flyers taped and posted up around school and laying on the ground in the wet puddles or dirt spots go, no one really has time to stop and read them to know what they really are. Alongside having the app, students like myself will  be able to keep up to date with different events at the school via a touch screen board in the quad. This is very convenient because everyone passes by the quad and if they put it in a common place such as near the benches and chairs, students will have no choice but to look at it. The app is designed as a social media site specifically for CBU students.You will be able to communicate with other students about parties and other things that go on around campus. You also will see pictures of things that students post. On “The Wall” there will be sections based on your major for teacher assistance and tutoring for students. One of the features I particularly liked is the shopping/ food section. Students will be able to carpool to go get groceries or will even be able to share food. I’m sure the school funding for this project is coming out of the student’s tuition, but I would rather my money go towards something as helpful as this rather than something that I’m not going to be able to use for all my four years of school here (such as the Rosa Deal School of Arts Building...no shade thrown here). This app should include teachers but only in sections such as school work and letting students know when we do not have class. Overall I love the idea of this app and the C-board. This group did a great job and I see this app being successful on CBU’s campus.
