Goal: Create a green space with native botanicals. The EA committee is working with the Missouri Department of Conservation and other organizations to transform the empty plot next to West Campus into a native pollinator garden. This space will give students a chance to enjoy what the natural world has to offer in a peaceful environment perfect for studying, spending time with friends, or simply being present.
Native plants provide essential support for the environment. They have coevolved with members of the ecosystem for thousands of years, developing a complex balance with its many organisms. These relationships promote biodiversity, soil health, and stability for wildlife and humans!

Goal: Improve the International Student Experience Before, During and After Truman
President Marcia Humphreys noted that there has been a lack of international student voices on Student Government and thus it had fallen out of touch with that population. In November 2025, an in-depth survey about the international student experience was conducted, to which 37 responded. Due to the low number of respondents, in February, a new survey was released that received over 150 responses. To leverage the insights that were gained through the survey, Student Government has created a working group comprised of students representing RHA, Student Government, and the international community. The working group also includes staff from the Office of Community Enrichment (OCE), International Admissions, Center for International Students, and the Career Center. the goal
