C. New Business * 10:07 am-In the meeting Accudemia was discussed and the major problem of the Accudemia was that the students were not able to log in for a certain subject and also the students that don’t go to MDC have no way to log in.

Discussed 2 primary displays 20th Anniversary of Hurricane Andrew to coincide with “After Andrew” show in the art gallery hallway.
