We can see that by the development of the new buildings on campus that this is a realistic objective,” Redenius explained.

Without the dollars, we cannot hire the faculty or add additional courses,” Redenius said. This program expansion is a nation wide trend, but I think you will see it augmented here because of our graduate programs.” Additional information on the MBA programs can be obtained by contacting either Steven G.

When asked about the turnout Gerow said, “I don’t think that students in general realize how much SGA can affect them. After all we are spending their money, advising the administration on what we perceive to be student opinion and even doing legislating. SGA needs to do a bet ter job of getting the word out.” SGA meetings are held every Wednesday in Reed 116 at 5 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend and participate.
