After 4 years, all the terms for the ACC Board will be for six years, except for the treasurer and secret- ary, the Trustees hold, by law, non- paid positions.

She will pursue a career in Electrical Engineering and hopes, someday, to teach the subject at college level. Here at ACC, Albert works with Mr. Sparks in the Physics depart- ment and has accompanied him on several Physics demonstrations to area sixth grade classes. She thinks these visits are important, because a lot of the kids see laser beams on TV, but don’t understand the reali- ty of how they work or what Phy- sics is all about. She hopes that these demonstrations will help the students to decide if they may be interested in Physics.
