College students seem to have a reliance on caffeine to get them through lectures and late night study sessions, but there are healthier alternatives to power through the day.

Bulletin boards provide forums for student discussion

Bulletin boards provide forums for student discussion

A new conversation has begun on campus but this conversation is only on paper.As part of the semester’s theme, “Right. Responsibilities. Respect,” Dialogue Days has been scheduled for the first Monday of every month to allow students to post their opinions on bulletin boards, said Molly Baldwin of the Center for Community Involvement and Service-Learning.

Bulletin boards located in the Brown-Lupton Student Center lounge list several questions in a variety of topics for students to respond to by pinning a note card on the board.

Baldwin said the bulletin boards, also known as graffiti boards, welcome students and faculty to write their opinions anonymously on the board.

Freshman prebusiness major Austin Brown said the boards are a good way for students to express opinions without judgment, he said.

The organization hasn’t decided how to display the graffiti boards, Baldwin said, but they will probably be showcased at the end of the semester.

Freshman prebusiness major Prevost Foushee said the boards are good to have as a forum outside the classroom for students to voice their opinions.

Foushee said if it creates a controversy, it’s good as long as it doesn’t turn violent.

Baldwin said a series of events will be held for this semester’s theme and the events can be viewed at www.themesemester.tcu.edu.
