Your Suggestions Matter
Student suggestions have impacted the college in following ways:
- The college now hosts wireless internet hotspots throughout campus
- The vending machines have less junk food and more healthier options
- The college built a covered bus shelter outside of the Simpson building
- More resources have been made available on the web site
- The college has installed more bike racks around the campus
- Designated client/patient parking in front of Rhododendron and Birch Buildings, so Dental Clinic and Spa Therapies clients will not have to look for parking
