 Editorial:  What would you change?

    “These are the best of times and the blurst of times - ahhh, stupid monkey!” as Mr. Burns from the Simpsons would say.
    Sometimes we have all felt as if we were just pounding away at the keyboards in a futile attempt to have a masterpiece emerge from the ramblings. The reading, the Internet research, the discussion groups, the final projects, and the essays we have written are all probably still tumbling in the backs of our minds.
    Now with summer approaching, the days getting longer and hotter, there will be plenty of opportunity to sort that stuff out. I hope that something you wrote about or researched will become a summer learning project.
    At least use some of your newly acquired facts to let friends and family know that you were awake and attending college this year! I hope that every reader had found something on campus to get involved in besides their classes.
    I hope that everyone has met someone new and that these new friendships carry on for a lifetime. That’s something that some people take for granted. These friends you make here could be future colleagues, neighbors, or softball league opponents.
    As you are in the final days of the semester, I urge you to give the college your feedback on the experience. There are ‘Input boxes’ all over the campus and it can be completely anonymous or you can get updated with how your concern is being handled.
    Ask yourself the Campus Question: If you could change anything you wanted about IVCC, what would you change?
    Its a blank check...look around the campus and into your experience. Let the school know the good as well as the bad.
    What would you change?
