Michelle Brusto
President

Hi, My name is Michelle Brusto and I am your 2008-2009 Student Senate President. I like to hunt, snowboard, wakeboard, shop (but of course), and I love the outdoors (I think you pretty much have to if you live where we do LOL). I am looking forward to hearing students concerns and questions. I am happy to have been given the chance to address the issues of the student body and make each student’s experience here at CNCC, one to remember.

Melisa McCarthy
Vice President

Hey there! My Name is Melisa, I am from Craig Colorado, I’m 19. I came to CNCC in the fall of 2007 to start prereq’s for the Dental Hygiene program. I am now a first year student in the program. This is my second year being a member of the CNCC student Senate. Last year I was a freshman representative and this year I am the Vice President.
On my free time I like to relax! Dental Hygiene keeps all of us on our toes so whenever I can get away I take advantage of it. I like to ride dirt bikes and quads,  camp, go to the lake, snowboard, go home and spend time with my fiancé and my dogs. 
In Student Senate this year I hope to achieve the expectations of the students here at CNCC. We are hear to listen and voice your concerns. Feel free to chat with either of us if you have a problem, concern or a suggestion for improvement, it’s what we are here for!
