P&S COUNCIL PRESIDENT OUTLINES GOALS FOR UPCOMING YEAR

One of Kevin Kane's goals this year, as the incoming P&S Council President, is to encourage the council to broaden its perspective about what needs its attention on campus.
" I would like council to be looked upon as a leadership group on campus. To do that, we need to do more than study our own compensation issues," Kane said. "I'd like us to be involved in more university-wide issues, like the decision about the academic calendar, diversity discussions, broader things that affect our university culture." The complete profile is in Inside Iowa State.
