Bobby Sample
Bobby was unable to attend the meeting due to illness. He will present next month at the April 12th meeting.
GCC Logo's
Since Bobby and was unable to attend the meeting, Trish Fogel gave us a short update on the new GCC logo. She informed the group that the logo represented a major redesign in that market research had shown that our students recognize us not as Glendale Community College as much as just GCC. As a result, logo has the letters GCC and not the words Glendale Community College. The new logo has strict color and size requirements. The logo also contains text which must be included when the logo is displayed. More about this from Bobby next month.
