With a grandiose number of events, academic clubs, and student organizations, which continually increase in number, it may come as a surprise that there is a problem with an intricate part of campus life. Yet, though the opportunities are endless, the problem lies in the e-mail notification system that is supposed to inform the students of upcoming events.
According to St. John's University senior, Stephanie Sica, the e-mail notifications are not adequate and do not arrive in a timely fashion, especially for students living off-campus.
"I get e-mails the day before or the day of not giving me enough time to decide if I’d like to go.”
Journalism major, Kevin Coltrinari, couldn't agree more.
"They should focus on getting it out there. It is only there if you're looking for it."
Albeit the evidential and current problem, students are satisfied with the events that are available, when they do hear about them.
Recently, the Fall Movie Series have been creating quite a commotion amongst the student body with free movie showings of popular blockbuster hits like “Public Enemies” and “Hangover,” which are available with a SJU student ID card. Those who are not members of the University can equally enjoy this event with their friends, but need to pay an entrance fee of $5.
Nevertheless, the event is not without its problems with unusually bad picture quality and sound, making the wait for the DVD more worthwhile than sitting in the tightly packed sardine seats of the Little Theatre.
“They were really bad quality. It looked like they were filmed on VHS,” Sica said referring to the Saw movie series she had seen in the past two years.
Taking into account the facility improvements occurring on campus, students sit in hope that the university will fix the problems that have ensued and prevented the expansion of a vigorous St. John’s community.
