Technology- Campus EAI has agreed that it can perform the duties the grant has requested. We are not compiling a more specific list of tasks the program must be able to perform (data retrieval, etc.).

New Positions- we interviewed for the student/activity services coordinator position January 24th @ 2:00 p.m., many qualified candidates applied. The senior secretary and the technology initiative coordinator are still in the application stage, which means we are still awaiting the close date to begin interview process.
