Student Affairs go door-to-door

If you want to know something, sometimes you just have to find it out yourself.

Instead of waiting for freshmen to come to them with comments on their first semester at TCU, 28 representatives from Student Affairs went knocking on doors Tuesday night to ask freshmen how they like being a Frog so far.

The staff members asked the students how their semesters were going and if they had any complaints so far. Students voiced concerns about everything from parking to cats around campus to transferring credit hours.

Comment cards that could be mailed back to Student Affairs were left at the doors of students who weren’t in their rooms.

This is a good idea, and Student Affairs should be congratulated for it.

This program didn’t involve bribing students with free pizza. It involved people taking time out of their busy day to just listen to the needs of students.

Even though TCU is kind of small compared to many other universities, it can still be easy for students to feel that their voices are not being heard.

Because freshmen are probably still uncertain about how most things work on campus, it can’t always be easy for them to voice their concerns or ask all of the questions they want to.

When university officials take the time to come to the freshmen’s rooms and ask how they are doing, they are showing that TCU values student opinions. They are building relationships with these students.
