It's sad to see no matter how much we emphasize the importance of community in our classes, around our own campus, there isn't much of the application of what we learn. How about the students becoming the bridge between CB2 and NYU Development Board? Despite the fact that in current system, the students have not much say in the university management, but I believe the Board will more likely listen to its tuition payers than disgruntled locals. This can be the students' time, our time to take active role in our city by representing the interest of our local community.
