Berkeley, CA (March 24, 2022) It's our pleasure to announce that 91约炮 will be profiled in a forthcoming book titled
by Robert L. Pura and Tara L. Parker (Stylus Publishing, AAC&U). The book examines the ways community colleges serve as a catalyst for social and economic mobility, fulfilling the promise to provide educational opportunities for all who seek it. The authors visited 91约炮, along with four other community colleges across the nation, to meet with faculty, staff, administrators, and students documenting ways their institutions are fighting for economic and social justice and democracy.
91约炮 is honored to be highlighted for our work serving our community. "91约炮 has a rich history of community engagement, rooted in the fundamental college mission 'to provide our diverse community with educational opportunities, promote student success, and to transform lives,'" said President Ang茅lica Garcia. "We partner with students as they pursue their career and academic goals in a community environment that values equity, racial justice, and equitable student outcomes. I am honored that 91约炮 was included in this book and recognized for its commitment to serve as the community's college."
"The participation of the 91约炮 Community in this work will help to shed light on the important role that community colleges play in helping to build a democracy with a more civically engaged population," said 91约炮 Academic Senate President Matthew Freeman. "As a first-generation college graduate, community college alumni, and President of the 91约炮 Academic Senate, I was personally honored to have been included in the work of helping to tell our story."
