It is our hope that this correspondence finds you in pleasant circumstances. It is with great trepidation and frustration that the cohorts of the Dangriga Galen center have found the need to write this letter. After the end of our first year in the Galen Bachelor 's in Education program we find that there are circumstances and situations that have persisted to the disadvantage of the cohorts and have failed to be addressed by the administration of Galen and its staff. Galen recruited us under the guise of "excellence" and with every course we are reminded that it is "excellence" that is also demanded of us. It is with this in mind, that we hope to effectively articulate our concerns and find prompt resolution in order to ensure that we all draw closer to this "excellence". The following are the pressing and urgent matters that we feel must be addressed not only for the betterment of our center cohorts, but for all the cohorts that have entrusted Galen with their valuable time, hard earned money, and academic careers.
