EVENTS
Meet QC’s President and the VP of student affairs Saturday, Dec 3rd
That’s right the President of QC and the VP of student affairs are scheduled to come over to address the weekend community. They are also going to bring a representative from the Provost’s office-the College’s chief academic officer. (I didn’t even know what that office was all about. I had to look it up.) Seems like we have created a bit of buzz and the top dogs are taking notice. This is one of the best things that could have happened to put us on the path of a better education. Let’s make sure we take advantage of this event. Let’s unite as a community and come out on Dec. 3rd. Let’s submit thoughtful questions to ensure they know what our priorities are. You can submit your questions to or at PH main hall Fri 5:30-6:30/Sat 11-1P.
