About PawPrints
Inspired by RIT's original PawPrints, the RIT Dubai Student Government (2025-2026) sought to improve engagement of RIT Dubai students through petitions. The site creates a place for the RIT Dubai community to converse on important issues.
To remain transparent, this site is an open-source project on GitHub.
Have an idea
Search for petitions and if a petition similar to yours already exists, sign that petition. This will help raise support for your issue and help you better reach the minimum threshold of 100 signatures for receiving an official Student Government response.
Write your petition
Use proper spelling and grammar when writing your petition. This will help other users find the petition more easily. Be sure to review our Moderation Policy before posting.
Share your petition
Use social media to spread awareness of your issue. A petition has one year to reach its threshold. If the threshold is not reached, then the petition is archived and available via the search.
