Thoughts on The Signal's Web site
I am a digital media student and I have followed The Signal for a long time. The photos are getting better in The Signal, but I think you should update the fonts on the Web site. The title and the symbol of the eagle are a poor design.

We can't do better than Joan MacGregor
I have had the opportunity and privilege to serve with and sit beside Joan MacGregor on the College of the Canyons Board of Trustees for the past 12 years.
