Waste Management in Westmont
Westmont College values its environment and the effect both students and staff leave on it. For example, Westmont's administration puts in bins to sort and manage garbage and recyclable items more efficiently. However, this merely hampered their goals as students are confused by these rules. My proposal involves to teach students on how to follow Westmont's expectation on waste management.

Fitness Center Hours at Westmont College
College is a crucial period for developing lifelong habits.

It is not enough for Westmont College to have a fitness center open; the facility must be made more accessible to all students. The Westmont College fitness center should have longer open hours.
