Students say "Yes" to a student union
By almost a 4 to 1 ratio, the students voted “yes” in
yesterday’s referendum to build a student union on our campus (the actual vote was 432 to 109).
I want to congratulate the many students that worked hard on bringing the
referendum to a vote and explaining the importance of having a union.
Even though there is still a long way to go, this was a very big step in the
process. Let’s keep our eyes on the prize and make that all important
“hot spot” a reality to our campus and community!
