Unredacted Dispatches: A Comprehensive Overview of All Current Events
At Holy Cross, the #HCRealTalk Survey is a campus-wide initiative designed to gather genuine feedback from students about their experiences, concerns, and perspectives on various aspects of college life. The survey, launched as part of Holy Cross's efforts to engage its student body in meaningful conversations, aims to foster open dialogue between students and the administration, identify areas for improvement, and enhance the overall campus environment by addressing student needs more effectively.
Historically, the survey has offered prizes as incentives to encourage participation. In recent years, students who completed the #HCRealTalk Survey were entered into drawings for gift cards to local businesses, Holy Cross merchandise, and other campus-related rewards. These prizes help motivate students to contribute candidly and ensure a broad representation of voices on campus.
During the latest iteration of the survey, students who filled out the #HCRealTalk Survey were treated to an ice cream truck giveaway. The prizes included Worcester-themed gift bags, Amazon gift cards, bookstore gift cards, Target gift cards, Grubhub gift cards, $100 in dining dollars, and a free ticket to the Spring Concert. These incentives helped boost participation and create a sense of community on campus.
The survey covers a range of topics, including well-being, diversity and inclusion, academic challenges, and social life. It provides a space where students feel safe sharing their real thoughts, rather than just positive or surface-level feedback. This approach allows the administration to gain a deeper understanding of students' experiences and concerns, and to address them effectively.
One student, Caitlin Wiffler '27, is an active participant in the survey. She recently went to Boston with friends and purchased three tops from Brandy Melville. Caitlin is also requesting a single room next year and encourages readers to think about their friends and relationships.
In addition to the #HCRealTalk Survey, Holy Cross is hosting various events to engage students and foster a sense of community. The Battle of the Roommates event, hosted by Holy Cross's Residence Hall Association on April 25, was a competition for duos who knew each other best. The event did not meet the expectations of all participants, but it is hoped that future events will be more successful.
Other events on campus include "An Impression of Everyone on Campus this Friday" and the "Parking Pass Excuses" event, which is related to the difficulty of gaining temporary parking pass access on campus.
As the end of the academic year approaches, students are seeking temporary parking pass access for Spring Break and Easter Break. The SGA Cabinet Meeting, scheduled at 8:00 P.M. in Hogan Suite B/C, will likely discuss this issue and other student concerns.
In other news, The Guardian published an article about President Trump's statement regarding running for President for a third time. This development is likely to have a significant impact on American politics and will be closely watched by students at Holy Cross and across the country.
In conclusion, Holy Cross's #HCRealTalk Survey is an important initiative that encourages students to share their honest feedback and helps the administration address student needs more effectively. By offering incentives and hosting engaging events, Holy Cross is working to create a supportive and inclusive community for all students.
