At CMU-SV, we care deeply about what students are experiencing, both the everyday moments and the bigger picture. Whether you have an idea to improve campus life, a concern about something that happened, or need help navigating a tough situation, this page is here to guide you.

Your feedback helps us improve. Your reports help us support. Your voice helps shape this community.

Share feedback & ideas with CMU-SV student affairs

In Student Affairs, we design support around what students are actually experiencing. That means staying close to the details, noticing what’s working, and adjusting what is not. But we can’t see everything. Your perspective helps fill in the gaps. 

If something feels off, harder than it should be, or like it could work better, share more. Whether it’s a quick friction point or an idea you’ve been thinking about, we would love to hear from you. 

What can you share?

  • Breakdowns, gaps, or confusing systems
  • Patterns or pain points you’ve experienced
  • Ideas for improving clarity, connection, or ease
  • Feedback on events, programs, or services
  • Something that worked well and should happen more often

What happens next?

Our team reads everything that comes in. Some ideas lead to quick adjustments. Others become part of ongoing work or longer-term conversations.

You can submit feedback anonymously, or include your name and email if you'd like us to follow up. Either way, we take what you share seriously and appreciate you taking the time.

This is one of the ways we listen, learn, and keep building an enhanced student experience. Thanks for being part of it.


Speak up about a campus issue

We want everyone at CMU-SV to feel safe, supported, and able to focus on what they came here to do. If something has happened on campus that doesn’t sit right with you, whether it's a safety concern, a personal interaction, or another issue that has affected your experience, we’re here to listen and help.

You can use our campus reporting form to share what happened. This form is read by the CMU-SV Student Affairs team. You can remain anonymous, or include your name and email if you’d like us to follow up or connect you with additional support.
