The Student Government Association will launch www.georgiastudentopinion.com next week as a way to keep University students across the state connected, according to McCoy Pitt, the co-chairman of SGA's external affairs committee.
"The Web site serves as a central location for all students in the University System of Georgia to discuss issues that affect their respective institutions," Pitt wrote in an e-mail.
The Web site, created by Pitt and his co-chair Brent Wierson, will allow students to discuss bills, petitions and other student government news by navigating through the tabs at the top of the Web page and posting to the Web site.
"We wanted to make sure that students had the tools necessary to discuss issues relating to statewide education such as the proposed elimination of taxes on textbooks (House Bill 141) or student representation of the Board of Regents," Pitt wrote.
Pitt and Wierson came up with the idea for the site as a way to better connect students at all the universities in the University System of Georgia, he wrote.
"The Web site will not simply benefit students actively involved in student government, but it will also benefit any student interested in discussing these issues," Pitt wrote. "They will be able to communicate across the entire University System of Georgia, share ideas, discuss issues, view controversial bills from the legislature, keep informed on recent and important events, vote on particular issues, and, if needed, present a unified voice."
The Web site is under construction and should be available starting next week, Pitt wrote.
