A focus visit in spring 2013 will look at institutional governance, administrative structures and annual budgeting processes.
  • CAMPUS CLIMATE
    A Trust, Respect and Understanding Support Team (TRUST) was impaneled to study the campus climate and present a plan to improve the college's work environment and campus morale. Several TRUST initiatives were implemented and others are in progress.

As a noncommercial educational station, student-produced KNWT provides a wide range of music offerings, mixed in with public affairs, news, weather, sports and Spanish language programs.
