<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Kelsie, and I am newly the Interim Director for Academic Success Center at Columbia Basin College.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is great to have this group to be a part of.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a couple of questions that I am hoping that some of you might be able to help with.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First, do any of your colleges have MOUs about faculty doing office hours in your centers?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, what do your colleges do to help students increase their preparedness for college?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe a bridge program, FYI, bootcamps, other options…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are hoping to expand our options, and I would love to get some ideas to move forward.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your help,<o:p></o:p></p>
