We Need Your Help to Save That Empty Space!

By signing this petition you are supporting that:
  • That Empty Space is an important part of campus life.
  • The students needs to actively participate in supporting the Friday That Empty Space, and prove it is a popular and active part of the school community.
  • That Empty Space should be focused on quality, small, local acts before bigger national acts.
  • That Empty Space should occur every week in the future, and should budget and fundraise to make this fiscally possible.
  • The Students' Union should look into alternative solutions to keep That Empty Space tradition going. Ie: sponsorship, a cover for non-students, donors/fundraising or grants. 
  • In the future, the Students' Union should survey the stakeholders of That Empty Space before making severe changes to programming and structure of the event (note: changes were made by former the executive without an official survey of community members).
You may also write a letter to [email protected], or provide personal comments along with your electronic petition signature.

Thank you and all the best,

Andrea
Former That Empty Space Program Coordinator

I was just staring at the screen and realized how much this has grown because it is honestly kind of surreal to see so many people actually caring about our Friday tradition. It really feels like we are finally getting the attention we deserve for the small acts and the local talent since the union definitely needs to listen to us after what happened with those executive changes.
