- Hold an Open Forum to demonstrate and discuss the move to D2L.
- Install locks on classroom doors.
- Investigate gym membership and weight loss program discounts for employees.
- Provide tuition waivers for Community Ed courses. President Ramsammy has approved restoration; timing to be determined.
