      into
      is
      the
      location
      of
      Student
      Services,
      and
      how
     
     
      it
      can
      be
      made
      more
      visible
      to
      the
      students
      of

      behind
     
     
      The
      Pit.
      Jenson
      wants
      Student
      Services
      to
      form
     
     
      a
      committee
      so
      that
      incoming
      U.P.E.I.
      students
     
     
      are
      aware

      them.
      He
      would
      also
      like
      to
      publicize
      Student
     
     
      Services
      and
      raise

      arise;
      however,
     
     
      Jenson
      wants
      to
      see
      the
      department
      become
     
     
      more
      pro-active.
      He
      would
      like
      the
      department
     
     
      to
      anticipate
      any
      potential
      problems
      which
      stu-
     
     
      dents
      may
      run
      into
      while
      in
      university.
      Within
     
     
      five
      years,
      he
      would
      like
      Student
      Services
      to
     
     
      provide
      resources
      for
      students
      to
      either
      avoid
     
     
      difficulties
      or
      to
      deal
      with
      them
      in
      an
      immediate
     
     
      and
      constructive
      manner.
     
    

    
     
      Jenson
      considers
      himself
      an
      activist,
      and
     
     
      wants

      help
      the
      students
      of
      U.P.E.I.
