"My goals as a trustee are to assure that a quality education is affordable and accessible for area students. I believe that a quality education is one that results from a curriculum focusing on the needs of the individual as they prepare to enter the work force, providing skill levels to match the needs of the local work environment or to pursue advanced educational goals with emphasis on problem solving throughout the student's educational program. It is imperative to gain support and effective community involvement in promoting the goals and objectives of the college," Trustee Pundmann stated.
