CLASSIFIED COUNCIL CORNER
by Henan Joof, Classified Council President

Henan Joof

  Greetings, readers! I trust you are enjoying the fall weather and gearing up for the Halloween/Thanksgiving season. I hope that our efforts as your board have helped make this semester move along quite enjoyably. Thank you to all you participated in our online survey. The results are being used to help us better plan future Classified Council activities.

Our lecture series was kicked off by Mike Reed’s presentation, “The Greening of GCC,” on September 24 in CR 137 from 12–1pm. The lecture was so well attended, and the interest so enthusiastic, that a follow-up is in the works, possibly for the spring semester. Mike Reed, as Sustainability Coordinator for GCC, infected his listeners with his passion for the Earth and all of its inhabitants. Our second lecture was “A Holistic Approach to Child Nutrition,” presented by Garland Zinn on Thursday, October 15. With childhood obesity on the rise and habits being formed at an early age, this lecture was very informative and provided myriad tools for participants.

Our Halloween Costume and Department competition is being planned, and you can expect a few informational emails from me about the event. I hope your “scary and creative” side is ready for the challenge. You can expect someone from our Board or the judges to come around your area on the date of the event.

Keep your eyes out for our holiday season See’s candy fundraiser. More details to come in the November article. Have a great Halloween.
