WE NEED A NOVATO REPRESENTATIVE ON THE BOARD FOR I.V.C.

By Brady Bevis

We have TWO campuses of the College of Marin! So why is the Indian Valley Campus in Novato not only vastly underutilized - there hasn't even been a Novato representative on the C.O.M. Board of Trustees for years! Instead of merely concentrating future building on the Kentfield campus, we should also better utilize and improve the Novato campus to serve our Northern students and workforce development needs. Novato taxpayers are significant supporters of the College through their property taxes every year. So why don't we have a representative on that Board to reflect the future needs and opportunities of our young people and our life-long learners. I care about that campus. I'm excited about the specific partnerships with the Buck Institute, bioscience and other hi-tech companies in North Marin that could participate in assuring that students gain the most up-to-date skills for high-paying local jobs.
