Late last semester your elected Student Representatives engaged in an Ask Me Anything Meeting with Okanagan College leadership representatives, President Dr Neil Fassina, Vice President of Academics and Provost, Dr Samantha Leci, and Vice President of Enrolment, Jennifer Goodwin. This meeting was planned with the goal of connecting, answering student questions and creating a more transparent relationship between Okanagan College Administration and The Okanagan College Students’ Union. Below are the questions your representatives asked and a summary of the answers that were given by the administration. Please note this is not a direct transcript of the meeting but a summary of the conversation that took place.
OC Leadership Council Speech
We are here today on behalf of our members from the Kelowna, Penticton and Salmon Arm campuses to present to you the needs and concerns of our peers, your students at OC. As elected representatives, we feel that our members are the heartbeat of our institution and our goal today is to shed light on the topics that we know can make direct changes and have positive impacts for our peers. Without students there is no OC, and if we can all agree on that, then we should be able to work together to address the needs of students.
