Wells Member Member Board of Trustees The democratic process of administration begins with the Board of Trustees to whom the people en- trusted leadership for building a college sensitive to the needs of the area. Working with a Citizens Advisory Committee last spring, the board employed an educa- tional consulting firm to explore and recommend cam- pus sites, educational plans, and accompanying essential supports. During the interim the board appointed lvlr. Howard N. Monnett acting president and obtained an extension to the lease on the 3845 McGee building. In February, the consulting firm made a preliminary re' port, in April, a final one.

Special ervices Offered An essential segment of Metropolitan junior College is the counseling available to all students who have any form of problem, whether personal, academic, or other. Their task is to help students gain insights that help them make wise decisions. Counselors provided career informa- tion services, helped study-skill groups, led discussion groups, and gave special assistance to the Developmental Program undertaken this year. Because the college has an open door policy on admissions, the counselorls job begins when a student seeks entry to a particular curriculum and continues as long as the student remains in college. This year Miss Wright, as Admissions Counselor, visited all of the area high schools and counseled with prospective stu- dents. Mr. Williams, as Financial Aid Officer, helped stu- dents with loans, scholarships, and vocational rehabilita- tion assistance. 1 Mr, Ga r A s 'rre t studies a problem presented by a student having trouble with his courses, .
