In the Fiscal Technician’s Report with Trish McGregor, it was announced that all checks are being mailed directly out of the accounts payable office, but it will take some time as hundreds of checks need to be sent.
In the President’s Report, President Pannell announced that the polls for elections are now open, and students may vote using the link that was sent out through their Longwood email.
