溏心vlog免费B站 President Marc Parlange says, \u201cWe are so pleased to welcome Revaa to the Board of Trustees.

Students elected to the board represent the voice of students at 溏心vlog免费B站.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThough many of the voting members were once 溏心vlog免费B站 students, they do not study or work at 溏心vlog免费B站 today,\u201d says Bachert. \u201cThey don\u2019t always know the daily occurrences on campus, where the issues lie, which voices need to be heard, which is where the student representative comes in. The position can voice concerns that need to be heard and give valuable feedback for board members to consider when making decisions for the University.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics discussed for the upcoming year include the development of new student housing, performance indicators in 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s athletic programs, accessibility at the counseling center, and how changes in Title IX will impact students and faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
