   2. The only reason why we elected officers from among the National campus reps is so that we may have better representation in Cabinet meetings which occur here at National campus.

NOTE:

College-wide announcement of the August 22, 2011 election results at the National Campus was put on hold until word was received from the state campuses on who their reps would be. It wasn’t until October 18, 2011 that an email announcement was sent to the all campus representatives, followed by a formal announcement to the entire college community thru our college web site, as a news release, in early November (See College Web Site Links above).
