Legislative Priorities

The College pursues a coordinated effort to support approved governmental initiatives. Please help us in pursuing our goal and contact one of the Governmental and Community Relations staff listed below before contacting or visiting any public officials to address college issues. Public officials include members of the legislature and personnel at any state agency, city, county, or other government offices.

Please note that when you contact a public official about a matter of individual concern, you may identify yourself as a College employee, but you must make it clear that you are representing your own views and not those of the College.
