      Jack
      Blanchard,
      Director
      of
      Student
      Services,
      says
      not
      many
     
     
      students
      are
      aware
      of
      the
      programs
      which
      the
      department
     
     
      offers
      them.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      To
      raise
      the
      students’
      awareness,
      Mr.
      Blanchard
      is
      planning
     
     
      to
      produce
      a
      brochure
      which
      will
      describe,
      in
      depth,
      the
     
     
      services
      which
      are
      available.
      This
      pamphlet
      should
      be
     
     
      distributed
      next
      winter.
