Sam's Article Summary




http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/16/nyregion/city-is-ordered-to-keep-emergency-help-boxes.html?_r=1

Today in Class Sam discussed a very interesting issue. I have provided you with a picture to help you visualize what this emergency box looks like.

On a postive note. I spoke to Human Resources. They are very willing to work with me and want to make this campus a better place. Jill Sillink was gracious and wants to see change happen.
