Welcome to the group! I recently launched a new website for the Rice University Student Association (at 4 am this morning - fun) and I plan on launching a Drupal site to replace the aging website of my residential college, Jones College. The idea to create a place for Drupal campus web developers to exchange ideas popped into my head a few minutes ago - and here you are!
I'd love feedback on the SA website - especially criticisms!

Looks good
I am currently working on a new intranet for our college and a new version of our website, powered by drupal.
Hi
Hi there.
We have a (mostly) drupal-powered site up, and I now have the dubious joy of figuring out how squeeze better performance out of our poor overworked server : )
I do like the document search/browser.
At the moment, I do all of our document uploading and linking by hand, and i'm still pondering over how to implement file management (permissions mainly) so that student council members can have more control over their content.

Documents
If you're curious, I implemented the documents functionality by making a new content type "Document" and enabling file uploads for it, and only for it. I then used CCK to add a field to the "News Story" content type that allows the user to select one or more "Document"s that have already been created. I used Views to sort this list by most recently uploaded Document within the News Story add/edit node form so it is easy for the user to find what he just uploaded. Views is, of course, behind the documents "browser".
