Student Government President Ashley Carrington and Vice President Tyler Pierce (2014-2015) sought to improve engagement of RIT Students through a Petition site. The site creates a place for the RIT community to converse on important issues.
To remain transparent, this site is an open source project available on GitHub
HISTORY
HAVE AN IDEA
Search for petitions and if a petition similar to yours already exists, sign that petition.This will help raise support for issue and help you better reach the minimum threshold of 200 signatures (as of 09/28/2014) for receiving an official Student Government response.
WRITE YOUR PETITION
Use proper spelling and grammar when writing your petition. This will help other users find the petition more easily. Be sure to review our Moderation Policy before posting.
SHARE YOUR PETITION
Use social media to spread awareness of your issue. A petition has one year to reach its threshold. If the threshold is not reached, then the petition is archived and available via the search. Student Government may elect to respond to a petition prior to reaching its threshold.
