Recipient'scomments: "I consider this to be a privilege. I volunteered for the position when asked and, so far, I've found it very interesting. The reason I ran for the school board was that I recognized there were problems in education, and I was curious to see what the junior collegeis doing. I'm still in somewhat of a learning situation, but I'm interested in seeing what courses they have to offer and some of their practices."
