Steven HouBusiness Communication: Assignment 4Welcome everyone and thank you for coming! Now, before we start, Id like to just gauge the room. How many of you are commuters here? Okay, how many of you commuters like to take naps? Excellent. Commuters, this is your lucky day! I am currently working on a proposal to improve commuter accommodations here at Rutgers and I need your voice in supporting this initiative that I call Commuter Care. There are 3 issues concerning commuters here at Rutgers; first, inadequate and an insufficient number of commuter lounges, second, pollution, and third, health effects. First off, one commuter lounge on Busch is just not enough for the 25,000 commuters here. Commuters spend a very limited amount of time on campus, which typically means attending classes. Students hurry to their classes and hurry to leave the campus to go to work or to go home, which is often at the exclusion of other campus involvement; and, while commuters do have public areas to relax in, this does not keep many of them from napping and eating in their cars in between classes. Lets be honest here, how many of us have been in that place? The second issue concerning commuters at Rutgers is pollution. While emissions from individual cars pale in comparison to industrial production, when aggregated, the air pollution produced by tens of thousands of commuters every day is certainly substantial. Now, Im sure all of us know what it feels like to sit in traffic. Even though the cars not moving, the gas is still entering the air. Facilities, however, that allow commuters to stay in between classes can reduce the need for commuters to travel so much and thus make our air that much cleaner. The third issue concerns the health risks imposed by commuting, both mental and physical. A lack of campus and social integration may lead to stress, sadness, anger, worry, and even depression. Napping, however, could provide a potential remedy to these symptoms, in the form of, for example, increased energy and enhanced memory processing. A facility that allows napping for commuters could mean healthier students and (pause) happier students. Finally, ladies and gentlemen, I am proposing to build commuter lounges that provide all the amenities conducive to commuter success. New construction would take place on Livingston, College Ave, and Cook/Douglas, and renovation would take on the existing Busch lounge. With your support, I can acquire the funding necessary to turn Commuter Care into a reality; there will be sufficient facilities for commuters, less pollution, and various health benefits for the commuter. Because, in the end, what matters is not just spending more money to build more buildings. What truly matters (pause) is the success (slow down) of the students here at Rutgers University.
