(a.i.1.b) for 10 years students have responded to surveys saying that the #1 need for students is access to fitness for Spokane students

(a.i.1.c) 800-900 students only take classes in Spokane, which is an understatement

(a.i.1.d) Cheney is far for Spokane students with other priorities for school

(a.i.1.e) Brought 3 different options to fitness memberships

(a.i.1.e.i) One proposal is similar to WSU’s system

a.i.1.e.i.1. Pay $70, student pays $30 for up to 500 students

(a.i.1.e.iii) First 150 free, after that EWU pays for a certain amount

(a.i.1.h.i) Is there any extra space on the campus that we could use the money towards a room for fitness instead of outreaching to Spokane gyms?

(a.i.1.h.ii) Is the $500 per term based off of semester or quarter system? Based off of quarter system

(a.i.1.h.iii) Is it available during the summer? Not looking that that right now

(a.i.1.h.iv) Which would you recommend? The model resembling WSU’s structure

(a.i.2) Staff Proposal

(a.i.2.a) Spokane feels distant from Cheney, and while the community and opportunity has increased it is still not where it could be

(a.i.2.b) Students need experience/opportunities to learn how to be professional and competitive in their fields

(a.i.2.c) Only 2 people doing the job of many different positions, in need of more staff so they can achieve these goals.

(a.i.2.d) Need to provide support to students that are new to the Spokane Campus

(a.i.2.d.i) Orientation programs every term to help the new students since students go back and forth between the Cheney and Spokane campus

(a.i.2.e) According to a recent survey, over 90% students say that these programs would be important/beneficial to them

(a.i.2.f) Questions:

(a.i.2.f.i) Are there already orientations in place? Yes, but mainly in Fall for the more Spokane based students (a.i.2.f.ii) Have you reached out to students to maybe create a committee or club for this? Yes, but the student organizations at the Spokane campus struggle with finding similar availability.
