About

PawPrints is a web application for sparking change at RIT. Share ideas and influence decision making by posting petitions. The community expresses support for petitions by adding signatures. Once a minimum signature threshold is reached, notifications are dispatched to members of Student Government. As an issue evolves, SG posts incremental status updates. Once a final decision is made, a response is issued by either an SG representative or a member of the administration, or both. PawPrints is built using Meteor v1.0.
