After years of advocacy, student voice has made a difference in the safety at OH: a sidewalk from the gravel lot has finally been installed. “[[The process]] started about 15 years ago when the gravel lot was kind of like, more prominent,” said Kaitlyn Thilk, a senior member of Believe It Or Not I Care (B.I.O.N.I.C.), the OH club which has long advocated for a sidewalk. This story began in late 2010, when the use of the north gravel parking lot was not particularly popular, but it was busy enough to warrant maintenance and some attention. Students came and went from the gravel lot, making the daily trek to class.
