Offices
Currently the Coordinator, Veteran Services and Academic Counselor share one SMALL office which lacks privacy for the student and lacks storage space for files, merchandise and veteran related materials. Currently there is only one computer and phone in the office, making it very difficult for the counselor and the coordinator to receive and make phone calls, answer emails or meet with students. In the future, Veteran Services will be moving to the new BCC building, but that will not be for two to three years and the limited office space is becoming more difficult to work in each day.
