<span class="s1">Students do not have much involvement with the local economic development despite having the resources available to do so. Organizations like SUNY best bring together a whole host of local professionals downtown to create awareness, but the number of students that attend these meetups are surprisingly low.</span><span class="s2">They unfortunately either have no awareness or are aware of the economic and social issues that persist in the city around the university but nothing is done to resolve these issues. The school does not have dedicated staff members that take initiative to bridge the gap between the university undergraduate population and the surrounding community.</span>
