The bikes have been in Syracuse for a few months, however details have yet to be finalized.
Evangelista also announced that SA will provide top administrators a comprehensive report regarding mental health on campus, in accordance with Mental Health Awareness Week. This will be led by LaLonde and Kelsey May, co-chair of community engagement.
