!e Communicator, a student-run publication, provides students an opportunity to connect with their campus and enrich their time at SFCC.

*Please Note*The Communicator is an open forum for student coverage and opinion that is entirely student edited and produced, with absolutely no prior review from the faculty or administrators of Spokane Falls Community College. The content in this publication is the responsibility of the student sta! of The Communicator, and as such do not necessarily re"ect the view of Spokane Falls Community College administrators, faculty, or the student body.Individual student contributions to the opinion page or any other section of this publication do not necessarily re"ect the views of the editorial board or the student sta! of The Communicator.
