WTAMU Student Government sponsored a Q&A in the JBK featuring University President Dr. Patrick O’Brien on Feb. 27. The purpose of the event was for Dr. O’Brien to address students’ questions concerning the future of the University.

Questions ranged from topics about construction on campus to parking concerns.

“I think it went well, there were a lot of questions asked. It was very informative and we learned a lot of neat stuff,” said Student Body Vice President Nick Goettsche.

However, the biggest issues were not the questions asked but the planning behind the event. The Facebook event created for the Q&A had it scheduled for Feb. 29. However, on the morning of Feb. 27, the time was changed.

“There was no miscommunication,” said President Dr. Patrick O’Brien. “It’s been on my calendar for today for weeks and I think what happened is the notice did not go out.”

Some students were upset at the change and voiced their displeasure on the event page.“Why the time change?” asked Cedric Nguimatsa. “If students don’t show up, you guys can’t use the ‘you didn’t show up so it’s your fault‘ thing.”

Student Body President Brandy Roberts apologized on the page for the inconvenience of the time change. Goettsche said that it was a mix up and Roberts was not to be blamed.

“It wasn’t her fault or my fault,” he said. “You just pick up the slack, we did what we could and I think we had a pretty good turn out.”
