From the District Vice Chancellor of Finance and Student Trustee:
Budget Forum
Are you frustrated by too many closed classes? The college budget is getting tighter, but students can do something about it. As Student Trustee, I want to help students get the best information possible. The District Vice Chancellor Kindred Murillo and I have organized budget forums on each college's main campus. Leaders such as your student government President, college President, and me want to know your concerns, questions, and ideas.
Please join us on the following dates:
DVC: Tuesday, November 17 beginning at 12:30pm in the Trophy Room (near the cafeteria)
