and asked senators to consider it.

assitive computer technology” at the end of the last paragraph.

Articulation Officer Announcement
Jim Fenningham explained that the Transfer Center Coordinator and the

“Articulation Officer Job Description” and as the Articulation Officer in the
past, she shared her experiences in the position and encouraged senators to
share this .75 reassigned time opportunity with their constituents.
