In season two, episode twenty-one of “On Target,” Pontz and Mangala recount their own experiences — and non-experiences — at Get Acquainted Day and then break down the Student Senate presidential and vice presidential election, the results of which will be announced later Monday evening, April 15. Then, we re-air an interview about online courses with Professor Bill O’Hara now that the faculty has approved the motion to make the courses a permanent fixture in the college curriculum.
