Health and Safety Committee

The College has established a health and safety committee that serves two purposes. The first is to provide advice and recommendations on matters related to health and safety to the dean of operations and enrollment management, and second is to recommend policy matters through the governance process to the president of the College.

Students who have a health and safety concern can use the committee to address their issues. The committee is comprised of a representative body of faculty, staff, and students, and meets once a month during the fall and spring semesters.

Committee Directives
