College’s Facebook application shuts down
A Facebook app that enabled students to communicate with each other was disabled on Wednesday, Feb. 12. According to Mindy Kinnaman, manager of student life and leadership development, it was a cost-cutting issue that was a result of the recent $3.7 million chopped from the budget.
“We felt that the funds being spent could be better allocated to directly serve a larger group of students than the application currently reaches,” Kinnaman said in a post.
In order to communicate with others across campus, students are encouraged to visit the college’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/JCCC411.
