The student trustee is a full voting member of the board, and is expected to bring contribute the voice of the students to the table, as well as to report activities of the student body to the trustees, like athletics, clubs and organizations. "It's an important job to fill," says Sincerbox. “When I got here, I met a lot of people who got me involved. It gives me the opportunity to hear [students’] concerns at a level where the mission is set – where decisions are made – it affects their time here at SUNY Orange.” Sincerbox says he makes a concerted effort to listen to the students he comes into contact with everyday, deliberately soliciting their opinions on issues like Student Orientation, parking, and other matters, as well as concerns they bring to him. "I just walk around and ask what they're thinking. How do you feel about this? They’re pretty open about what I’m asking for,” he says. Most of all, he says, he wants to become a familiar face to the students so that they know who to come to and are willing to do so. "I think I'm going to learn a lot," says Sincerbox. “I’ll bring what I hear from the students, what we’re discussing in packs – I’ll bring a different voice.” SUNY Orange offers Career Services workshopsMIDDLETOWN- Orange County Community College’s Office
