"… Even in its relative newness, it is already proving its effectiveness in the Eckerd community, strengthening communications between students and administration as well as improving campus wide issues that might be accidentally overlooked. It is the perfect combination of a suggestion and complaint box, and certainly acts as a more proactive initiative than either on its own could accomplish."

"In an attempt to bridge the communication gap between students and school administration, West Virginia University has just joined a website called Campus Grumble to solve on campus issues."

"As the power of social media builds with every passing day, a new website called Campus Grumble is sweeping across Wake Forest’s campus. Founded by John Kirkpatrick (‘12) and Ryan Edwards (‘12), university alumni of the School of Business, Campus Grumble was launched in full Jan. 14. The premise of the website is that students can identify problems on campus that they believe are solvable. Users simply write their “grumbles” and propose solutions so other users can “mumble” in support of the complaint, similar to a “like” on Facebook. Grumbles can address any problem, big or small. For example, the most popular grumbles thus far are about parking, bees on the quad and the Magnolia Room’s hours."

That's where John Kirkpatrick came along with the idea of Campus Grumble. Recently, we had a chat with John and Ryan about Campus Grumble, the struggles behind getting the company launched, and what young entrepreneurs can learn from them and apply to their own business endeavors!…"

The Charlotte residents have spent the months since May graduation building a platform that lets students and administrators solve campus issues in real time…"

"What would you do to improve Wake Forest? There are countless official outlets and or avenues through which one can advocate and implement change, but that sounds like a lot of time and effort for the constantly busy and occupied members of the Wake Forest Bubble. Ideas, complaints and resolutions often are talked about among the student community, but rarely are ideas or solutions pursued or achieved. Campusgrumble.com gives the Wake Forest student an opportunity to quickly write out their issues and proposals and let their ambitious peers and or curious administration do the leg work for them..."

"When complaints such as Acorn Coffee Shop lines and internship requirements pile up on social media, the Elon University administration might not hear about it.
