Academic Council

Academic Council represents the students, faculty and administration. Its function is to report and recommend to the Board of Governors all changes and new thrusts in the academic areas of the College. It also acts as the positive interface between the various groups within the College community.

Advisory Committees

Representatives of agricultural and other industries give freely of their time and knowledge as members of advisory committees for the College. These committees assist by recommending programs to be offered; assisting in program and course development; advising on all aspects of programs; and assisting in the placement of students for on-the-job training and in permanent positions after graduation. Their help is of tremendous value to the College and is hereby acknowledged.
