James Canniff, Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, gave the Association finance report for the beginning of the spring semester. The report broke down the various fees by campus. The Children’s Learning Center at the Grant campus was discussed. Trustee McCarthy stated that while the childcare fees are competitive and there are many centers all over the County, the advantage is that the College has its own center right here on the campus to easily serve the students and faculty. Vice President Canniff added that the Center also serves an education function for the College’s early childhood program, providing internship opportunities. In addition, our Center is a state-of-the-art center and has a very comprehensive program. Trustee McCarthy asked if the faculty pays the same as a student for childcare. Vice President Canniff said that the faculty pays a different fee and he would send him the sheet with all the fees. Finally, Vice President Canniff congratulated the Women’s Cross County Team on its championship season and said this is the type of activity that the Association funds support.
