The Exchange server has a corrupted disk, but is
functional this morning. Information

been ordered. IT is still reviewing the
source of the corruption.

Medallion is presented to individuals whose actions have significantly
affected or influenced Lewis-Clark State College. President Thomas called for suggestions

State College.
