And it just wouldn't be right
without the car club saying

00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:09.030 align:middle line:90%
hello to start with.

00:00:09.030 --> 00:00:12.600 align:middle line:84%
So we'd like to at least welcome
you back in the car club style.

00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:15.580 align:middle line:84%
Club, you got something to
say to our faculty and staff?

CINDY WALKER: Welcome
back, Chaffey family.

00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:24.490 align:middle line:84%
I've missed you during
my sabbatical year.

00:01:24.490 --> 00:01:25.830 align:middle line:90%
Glad to be back.

00:01:25.830 --> 00:01:27.330 align:middle line:84%
I usually say
something about hoping

00:01:27.330 --> 00:01:29.520 align:middle line:84%
that you're refreshed from
your summer vacations,

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:31.990 align:middle line:84%
but I really can't
say that this year.

00:01:31.990 --> 00:01:34.860 align:middle line:84%
In fact, most of you have
probably spent the summer

00:01:34.860 --> 00:01:38.650 align:middle line:84%
rethinking your online
courses, learning, reading,

00:01:38.650 --> 00:01:41.340 align:middle line:84%
and having important
conversations about racism

00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:45.940 align:middle line:84%
in the United States, or maybe
even joining Black Lives Matter

00:01:45.940 --> 00:01:47.550 align:middle line:90%
protests.

00:01:47.550 --> 00:01:49.140 align:middle line:84%
Even though I've
been deeply engaged

00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:52.800 align:middle line:84%
in equity work and training
at Chaffey for many years,

00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:56.460 align:middle line:84%
I too found that I needed to
go deeper in my own learning

00:01:56.460 --> 00:01:59.840 align:middle line:84%
and self-reflection, really
examining my own practices

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:04.760 align:middle line:84%
and engaging in
anti-racist activity.

00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:06.590 align:middle line:84%
I look forward to
learning and growing

00:02:06.590 --> 00:02:09.710 align:middle line:84%
with you, my Chaffey colleagues,
and figuring out ways

00:02:09.710 --> 00:02:12.920 align:middle line:84%
that we can disrupt systems
of oppression and racism

00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:16.510 align:middle line:84%
that often subtly, and
sometimes not so subtly,

00:02:16.510 --> 00:02:20.820 align:middle line:84%
are embedded in
higher education.

00:02:20.820 --> 00:02:24.290 align:middle line:84%
I'm committed to working towards
a future that really embraces,

00:02:24.290 --> 00:02:29.120 align:middle line:84%
celebrates, and honors the
dignity, experiences, history,

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:34.070 align:middle line:84%
stories, and voices of students,
faculty, staff, managers

00:02:34.070 --> 00:02:38.930 align:middle line:84%
of color, and that centers
and places equity-mindedness

00:02:38.930 --> 00:02:41.810 align:middle line:84%
at the center of all
decision-making, policies

00:02:41.810 --> 00:02:43.630 align:middle line:90%
and practices.

00:02:43.630 --> 00:02:46.050 align:middle line:84%
Thank you for being
part of Chaffey College.

00:02:46.050 --> 00:02:48.120 align:middle line:84%
We are at a place
that can transform

00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:52.840 align:middle line:84%
the lives of our students
if we design it to do that.

TRISHA ALBERTSON:
Hello and welcome.

00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:57.540 align:middle line:84%
I'm Trisha Albertson,
Classified Senate President,

00:02:57.540 --> 00:03:01.410 align:middle line:84%
and accountant in the Budgeting
and Fiscal Services Office.

00:03:01.410 --> 00:03:04.010 align:middle line:84%
I also represent our
classified professionals

00:03:04.010 --> 00:03:07.950 align:middle line:84%
statewide as the treasurer
on the executive board

00:03:07.950 --> 00:03:12.405 align:middle line:84%
with the California Community
Colleges Classified Senate.

00:03:12.405 --> 00:03:14.780 align:middle line:84%
Classified Senate represents
all classified professionals

00:03:14.780 --> 00:03:18.280 align:middle line:84%
and shared governance,
non-bargaining areas

00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.120 align:middle line:90%
on campus and statewide.

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.600 align:middle line:84%
As college professionals, we
use our knowledge and experience

00:03:24.600 --> 00:03:27.500 align:middle line:90%
to help guide our campuses.

00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:30.080 align:middle line:84%
We work to provide an
extra layer of support

00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.460 align:middle line:84%
to students, usually
in procedural matters.

00:03:34.460 --> 00:03:37.040 align:middle line:84%
That work complements
the support students

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:39.950 align:middle line:90%
receive from faculty.

00:03:39.950 --> 00:03:42.380 align:middle line:84%
Right now, the
world is changing,

00:03:42.380 --> 00:03:45.780 align:middle line:84%
and times are rocky,
to say the least.

00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:50.190 align:middle line:84%
We understand that, for
effective change to occur,

00:03:50.190 --> 00:03:54.270 align:middle line:84%
we need to be willing to
tear down the current norms

00:03:54.270 --> 00:03:59.100 align:middle line:84%
and to be active in
rebuilding a better society.

00:03:59.100 --> 00:04:02.470 align:middle line:84%
We must be unified with
our students, faculty,

00:04:02.470 --> 00:04:04.540 align:middle line:90%
and community.

00:04:04.540 --> 00:04:06.820 align:middle line:84%
Classified Senate will
be part of this healing

00:04:06.820 --> 00:04:10.870 align:middle line:84%
process across the campus,
the community, the state,

00:04:10.870 --> 00:04:13.280 align:middle line:90%
and nationwide.

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.850 align:middle line:84%
We will do everything
in our power

00:04:15.850 --> 00:04:20.230 align:middle line:84%
to work to support all
students and our colleagues

00:04:20.230 --> 00:04:23.200 align:middle line:84%
towards an impactful
and meaningful change

00:04:23.200 --> 00:04:25.950 align:middle line:90%
for our futures.

00:04:25.950 --> 00:04:28.080 align:middle line:84%
Classified Senate
has already been

00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:31.360 align:middle line:84%
making movements in
these areas through

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.130 align:middle line:84%
professional development
workshops and leadership

00:04:34.130 --> 00:04:35.980 align:middle line:90%
conferences.

00:04:35.980 --> 00:04:40.990 align:middle line:84%
Classified professionals
have been educating ourselves

00:04:40.990 --> 00:04:46.070 align:middle line:84%
about change in our environment
and in our students' lives.

00:04:46.070 --> 00:04:49.550 align:middle line:84%
Additionally, last
year, Classified Senate

00:04:49.550 --> 00:04:52.790 align:middle line:84%
provided five
student scholarships

00:04:52.790 --> 00:04:57.330 align:middle line:84%
to those who had been impacted
by the criminal justice system.

00:04:57.330 --> 00:05:00.510 align:middle line:84%
We know that there is
still a lot to be done.

00:05:00.510 --> 00:05:03.570 align:middle line:84%
Classified Senate wants to
be the catalyst of change

00:05:03.570 --> 00:05:07.350 align:middle line:84%
and improve the lives of
our students and community.

00:05:07.350 --> 00:05:10.920 align:middle line:84%
Please join us, and
help us in this journey.

00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.550 align:middle line:84%
If you have any ideas, please
reach out to Classified Senate.

00:05:15.550 --> 00:05:17.572 align:middle line:90%
Thank you for your time.

00:05:17.572 --> 00:05:18.280 align:middle line:90%
BARON BROWN: Hey.

00:05:18.280 --> 00:05:21.250 align:middle line:84%
My name is Baron Brown,
and I was fortunate enough

00:05:21.250 --> 00:05:25.210 align:middle line:84%
to be elected as your
Faculty Senate President.

00:05:25.210 --> 00:05:28.360 align:middle line:84%
I'm thankful and humbled

00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.130 align:middle line:84%
and I hope that all
of you are doing well.

00:05:30.130 --> 00:05:32.440 align:middle line:84%
I hope your family is doing
well, and your loved ones,

00:05:32.440 --> 00:05:36.730 align:middle line:84%
and that you're exercising good
self-care, because remember,

00:05:36.730 --> 00:05:41.340 align:middle line:84%
you can't give your best
unless you're at your best.

00:05:41.340 --> 00:05:44.680 align:middle line:84%
And I'd like to thank Dr.
Shannon, the executive team

00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.010 align:middle line:90%
and our governing board.

00:05:46.010 --> 00:05:48.340 align:middle line:84%
I look forward to
the continued support

00:05:48.340 --> 00:05:51.100 align:middle line:84%
from our institutional
leaders, and anticipate

00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:54.100 align:middle line:84%
great synergy between
faculty senate,

00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:57.570 align:middle line:84%
the governing board, executive
deans, and directors.

00:05:57.570 --> 00:05:59.800 align:middle line:84%
And I couldn't complete
this brief welcome without

00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.290 align:middle line:84%
acknowledging and
congratulating our new senators,

00:06:02.290 --> 00:06:06.700 align:middle line:84%
who are Karin Nelson, Lisa
Doget, Christina Holdiness,

00:06:06.700 --> 00:06:11.170 align:middle line:84%
Elizabeth Encarnacion,
Tamari Jenkins, Jeff Harlow--

00:06:11.170 --> 00:06:13.120 align:middle line:90%
welcome back, Jeff--

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.500 align:middle line:84%
and Stephen-- or
Steph-an, Villasenor.

00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:19.855 align:middle line:84%
It depends on how Mr. Villasenor
wants that pronounced.

00:06:19.855 --> 00:06:22.710 align:middle line:84%
And I must thank our
outgoing senators, Doug Duno,

00:06:22.710 --> 00:06:26.200 align:middle line:84%
Charmaine Fipps, RoseAnn
Osmanian, Jon Ausubel,

00:06:26.200 --> 00:06:28.465 align:middle line:90%
and Rachel Arciniega.

00:06:28.465 --> 00:06:30.340 align:middle line:84%
We all appreciate the
great work that you all

00:06:30.340 --> 00:06:33.640 align:middle line:84%
put in during your
faculty senate terms.

00:06:33.640 --> 00:06:35.350 align:middle line:90%
Thank you very much.

00:06:35.350 --> 00:06:38.230 align:middle line:84%
And this year's theme
is future-mindedness.

00:06:38.230 --> 00:06:41.360 align:middle line:84%
And last year's theme
was a sense of belonging.

00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.640 align:middle line:84%
But I posit that
future-mindedness should always

00:06:45.640 --> 00:06:49.540 align:middle line:84%
include a sense of belonging
for our students, employees,

00:06:49.540 --> 00:06:50.900 align:middle line:90%
and all of our stakeholders.

00:06:50.900 --> 00:06:53.740 align:middle line:84%
They have to feel like they're
part of the Chaffey family,

00:06:53.740 --> 00:06:55.690 align:middle line:90%
and that we actually care.

00:06:55.690 --> 00:06:58.630 align:middle line:84%
So I hope that all of us
can work within that spirit.

00:06:58.630 --> 00:07:01.840 align:middle line:84%
And as for future-mindedness,
I see three primary drivers--

00:07:01.840 --> 00:07:04.840 align:middle line:90%
I'll try to hit them all--

00:07:04.840 --> 00:07:05.650 align:middle line:90%
to work toward.

00:07:05.650 --> 00:07:07.730 align:middle line:84%
And I'm going to try
to work towards them,

00:07:07.730 --> 00:07:10.150 align:middle line:84%
and I hope that all of
you can consider these.

00:07:10.150 --> 00:07:12.910 align:middle line:84%
Future-mindedness
equals preparation.

00:07:12.910 --> 00:07:14.590 align:middle line:84%
So on that note,
I'd like to discuss

00:07:14.590 --> 00:07:19.450 align:middle line:84%
what the Senate [INAUDIBLE]
weekly meeting schedule.

00:07:19.450 --> 00:07:24.040 align:middle line:84%
Our dedicated senators meet once
a week every week, on Tuesdays,

00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.540 align:middle line:84%
and we conduct the Senate's
important business.

00:07:26.540 --> 00:07:30.820 align:middle line:84%
However, we have still a lot
to learn, for many of us,

00:07:30.820 --> 00:07:32.860 align:middle line:84%
about Senate's duties,
responsibilities,

00:07:32.860 --> 00:07:35.680 align:middle line:90%
and the [INAUDIBLE] in our 10+2.

00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:39.720 align:middle line:84%
And so I'd like to know
if Senate would entertain

00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.030 align:middle line:84%
taking at least one of our
meeting sessions every month

00:07:43.030 --> 00:07:48.860 align:middle line:84%
and having structured training
or dedicated committee work.

00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:52.450 align:middle line:84%
And if we can do that, we can
always be prepared, always stay

00:07:52.450 --> 00:07:56.350 align:middle line:84%
ahead of the curve, and be
proactive and strategic,

00:07:56.350 --> 00:08:02.170 align:middle line:84%
and not reactive and behind
the curve at the moment.

00:08:02.170 --> 00:08:04.780 align:middle line:84%
Second is
future-mindedness should

00:08:04.780 --> 00:08:06.820 align:middle line:90%
equal empathy and care for all.

00:08:06.820 --> 00:08:10.660 align:middle line:84%
We spend a lot of time showing
our concern and our care

00:08:10.660 --> 00:08:15.390 align:middle line:84%
for our students and about their
welfare, which is appropriate.

00:08:15.390 --> 00:08:19.290 align:middle line:84%
However, how well do we care
for each other in the Chaffey

00:08:19.290 --> 00:08:20.520 align:middle line:90%
family?

00:08:20.520 --> 00:08:23.910 align:middle line:84%
And we need to have that
kind of consanguinity,

00:08:23.910 --> 00:08:26.010 align:middle line:90%
that kind of mutual support.

00:08:26.010 --> 00:08:28.500 align:middle line:84%
So have you made a
phone call to any

00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:32.429 align:middle line:84%
of your colleagues or friends
in the Chaffey family?

00:08:32.429 --> 00:08:35.610 align:middle line:84%
Have you received a phone
call or text or an email

00:08:35.610 --> 00:08:37.080 align:middle line:90%
from anyone?

00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.750 align:middle line:84%
And I challenge everyone
to reach out to someone.

00:08:39.750 --> 00:08:41.520 align:middle line:90%
And please do that.

00:08:41.520 --> 00:08:43.740 align:middle line:84%
You can set this target
wherever you are.

00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:46.350 align:middle line:84%
You don't have to be in a formal
leadership position on campus

00:08:46.350 --> 00:08:48.030 align:middle line:90%
in order to set this tone.

00:08:48.030 --> 00:08:50.110 align:middle line:84%
You can lead from
wherever you are.

00:08:50.110 --> 00:08:52.800 align:middle line:84%
So please, lead
and set this tone.

00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:55.560 align:middle line:84%
And third is
future-mindedness equals

00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:57.690 align:middle line:90%
the truth, warts and all.

00:08:57.690 --> 00:08:59.460 align:middle line:90%
And we need to be transparent.

00:08:59.460 --> 00:09:01.350 align:middle line:84%
And regardless of
the discipline,

00:09:01.350 --> 00:09:03.180 align:middle line:84%
our students are
going to want to talk

00:09:03.180 --> 00:09:08.970 align:middle line:84%
about racial injustice and
social inequities and all

00:09:08.970 --> 00:09:09.540 align:middle line:90%
these things.

00:09:09.540 --> 00:09:11.040 align:middle line:84%
They're going to
want to decompress.

00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:13.140 align:middle line:84%
Even if it's online,
they're going to want to.

00:09:13.140 --> 00:09:14.850 align:middle line:84%
And so we have to
be ready for that.

00:09:14.850 --> 00:09:16.920 align:middle line:84%
And no discipline
is immune from it.

00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:20.310 align:middle line:84%
But what we have to also
do is include everyone

00:09:20.310 --> 00:09:23.310 align:middle line:84%
in the conversation, and
talk about the history

00:09:23.310 --> 00:09:27.030 align:middle line:84%
of this country and the
contributions made by everyone,

00:09:27.030 --> 00:09:31.180 align:middle line:84%
because that will
make whatever subject

00:09:31.180 --> 00:09:33.870 align:middle line:84%
it is more relevant to
all of our students.

00:09:33.870 --> 00:09:36.150 align:middle line:84%
So can we include
multiculturalism

00:09:36.150 --> 00:09:38.400 align:middle line:84%
in every discipline
offered at Chaffey?

00:09:38.400 --> 00:09:40.800 align:middle line:90%
Arguably, I believe we can.

00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:41.640 align:middle line:90%
Is it relevant?

00:09:41.640 --> 00:09:42.510 align:middle line:90%
Yes, it is.

00:09:42.510 --> 00:09:43.420 align:middle line:90%
Does it matter?

00:09:43.420 --> 00:09:45.230 align:middle line:90%
Yes, it does.

00:09:45.230 --> 00:09:45.780 align:middle line:90%
OK?

00:09:45.780 --> 00:09:49.220 align:middle line:84%
And let's stop framing the
conversation by saying it's

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:51.990 align:middle line:84%
such a difficult
conversation to have.

00:09:51.990 --> 00:09:54.540 align:middle line:84%
Every time we say that,
it's self-defeating

00:09:54.540 --> 00:09:57.390 align:middle line:84%
and it's a
self-fulfilling prophecy.

00:09:57.390 --> 00:09:59.850 align:middle line:84%
So let's just say it's
a necessary and urgent

00:09:59.850 --> 00:10:02.760 align:middle line:84%
conversation, and
please consider

00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:04.050 align:middle line:90%
taking our BLOOM training.

00:10:04.050 --> 00:10:06.130 align:middle line:84%
And if you enter BLOOM
training with an open mind

00:10:06.130 --> 00:10:09.100 align:middle line:84%
and an open heart, you will
definitely learn something.

00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:12.300 align:middle line:84%
And don't take BLOOM in order to
qualify for a hiring committee.

00:10:12.300 --> 00:10:15.590 align:middle line:90%
That's not very genuine.

00:10:15.590 --> 00:10:16.200 align:middle line:90%
OK?

00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.620 align:middle line:84%
Our goal is organizational
transformation,

00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:21.482 align:middle line:84%
changing culture
within our institution.

00:10:21.482 --> 00:10:22.440 align:middle line:90%
I think we can do that.

00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.590 align:middle line:84%
In fact, I'm
confident that we can.

00:10:24.590 --> 00:10:27.870 align:middle line:84%
So have a great semester,
and remember, in order

00:10:27.870 --> 00:10:30.780 align:middle line:84%
for us to prepare the
next generation of leaders

00:10:30.780 --> 00:10:33.960 align:middle line:84%
for the future, we
have to tell them--

00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.990 align:middle line:84%
we're compelled-- the
truth about the past

00:10:36.990 --> 00:10:41.580 align:middle line:84%
as it impacts the present
and their individual futures

00:10:41.580 --> 00:10:43.039 align:middle line:90%
as Chaffey graduates.

00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.033 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:10:46.033 --> 00:10:50.524 align:middle line:90%

00:12:19.488 --> 00:12:20.780 align:middle line:90%
TRISHA ALBERTSON: Good morning.

00:12:20.780 --> 00:12:23.690 align:middle line:84%
I'm Trisha Albertson, Accounting
and Budgeting Services,

00:12:23.690 --> 00:12:25.920 align:middle line:84%
and the Classified
Senate president.

00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:28.135 align:middle line:84%
HOPE ELL: And I'm Hope
Ell, Executive Assistant

00:12:28.135 --> 00:12:30.260 align:middle line:84%
in the Office of Instruction,
and Recording Officer

00:12:30.260 --> 00:12:33.282 align:middle line:90%
for the Classified Senate.

00:12:33.282 --> 00:12:34.740 align:middle line:84%
TRISHA ALBERTSON:
We are here today

00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:37.300 align:middle line:90%
to introduce Caring Campus.

00:12:37.300 --> 00:12:41.220 align:middle line:84%
Caring Campus is a partnership
between the Chancellor's Office

00:12:41.220 --> 00:12:44.790 align:middle line:84%
and the Institute for
Evidence-Based Change.

00:12:44.790 --> 00:12:49.500 align:middle line:84%
Caring Campus promotes staff
involvement in student success,

00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:51.600 align:middle line:84%
and works towards
developing a culture

00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.020 align:middle line:84%
of meaningful connectedness
with students.

00:12:55.020 --> 00:12:58.350 align:middle line:84%
The program accomplishes
this by establishing

00:12:58.350 --> 00:13:01.650 align:middle line:84%
behavioral commitments that
everyone on campus can do.

00:13:01.650 --> 00:13:04.210 align:middle line:90%


00:13:04.210 --> 00:13:06.370 align:middle line:84%
HOPE ELL: Chaffey
College worked with IEBC

00:13:06.370 --> 00:13:08.680 align:middle line:84%
to establish a
Caring Campus group.

00:13:08.680 --> 00:13:11.890 align:middle line:84%
That group, comprised of 39
classified professionals,

00:13:11.890 --> 00:13:15.190 align:middle line:84%
met three times before
COVID-19 closed the campus,

00:13:15.190 --> 00:13:17.110 align:middle line:84%
and established three
behavioral commitments

00:13:17.110 --> 00:13:19.030 align:middle line:90%
that we plan to implement.

00:13:19.030 --> 00:13:22.390 align:middle line:84%
Those commitments are
name tag, 10-foot rule,

00:13:22.390 --> 00:13:24.130 align:middle line:90%
and warm hand-offs.

00:13:24.130 --> 00:13:25.540 align:middle line:90%
A brief description of each.

00:13:25.540 --> 00:13:28.180 align:middle line:84%
Behavioral commitment
number one is name tag.

00:13:28.180 --> 00:13:29.140 align:middle line:90%
Wear one.

00:13:29.140 --> 00:13:31.270 align:middle line:90%
If you don't have one, get one.

00:13:31.270 --> 00:13:34.480 align:middle line:84%
Everyone can, and should,
wear their name tag every day.

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.730 align:middle line:84%
The Caring Campus group will
be working with marketing

00:13:36.730 --> 00:13:39.230 align:middle line:90%
on options and standardization.

00:13:39.230 --> 00:13:42.260 align:middle line:84%
Behavioral commitment number
two, the 10-foot rule.

00:13:42.260 --> 00:13:45.020 align:middle line:84%
If you're within 10 feet
of someone, anyone--

00:13:45.020 --> 00:13:47.390 align:middle line:84%
student, faculty,
staff, administrator--

00:13:47.390 --> 00:13:48.530 align:middle line:90%
acknowledge them.

00:13:48.530 --> 00:13:49.200 align:middle line:90%
Smile.

00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:49.700 align:middle line:90%
Nod.

00:13:49.700 --> 00:13:50.770 align:middle line:90%
Make eye contact.

00:13:50.770 --> 00:13:51.530 align:middle line:90%
Say hello.

00:13:51.530 --> 00:13:53.930 align:middle line:90%
Be welcoming, but not intrusive.

00:13:53.930 --> 00:13:57.080 align:middle line:84%
Behavioral commitment number
three, the warm hand-off.

00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:57.980 align:middle line:90%
Call ahead.

00:13:57.980 --> 00:14:00.110 align:middle line:90%
Walk the person to the location.

00:14:00.110 --> 00:14:01.790 align:middle line:90%
Use detailed maps.

00:14:01.790 --> 00:14:04.100 align:middle line:84%
Have a point of
contact in each office.

00:14:04.100 --> 00:14:05.900 align:middle line:84%
Create frequently
asked questions

00:14:05.900 --> 00:14:07.652 align:middle line:90%
and implement referral cards.

00:14:07.652 --> 00:14:09.860 align:middle line:84%
TRISHA ALBERTSON: Shortly
after the group established

00:14:09.860 --> 00:14:12.740 align:middle line:84%
these commitments,
COVID-19 threw us

00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:15.420 align:middle line:90%
into a completely new reality.

00:14:15.420 --> 00:14:18.500 align:middle line:84%
This has caused the
group to refocus on how

00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:21.000 align:middle line:90%
to implement these commitments.

00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:24.110 align:middle line:84%
Name tags and the
10-foot rule were

00:14:24.110 --> 00:14:29.030 align:middle line:84%
great for in-person interaction,
but implementing them online

00:14:29.030 --> 00:14:31.280 align:middle line:90%
is not feasible.

00:14:31.280 --> 00:14:33.680 align:middle line:84%
Warm hand-offs are
still important, even

00:14:33.680 --> 00:14:36.120 align:middle line:90%
in the online environment.

00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:39.350 align:middle line:84%
So Caring Campus will be
focusing on implementation

00:14:39.350 --> 00:14:42.142 align:middle line:90%
of that behavior.

00:14:42.142 --> 00:14:44.650 align:middle line:84%
HOPE ELL: So what
is a warm hand-off?

00:14:44.650 --> 00:14:47.000 align:middle line:84%
It's making sure that the
customer, or in our case,

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.160 align:middle line:84%
our students, get
the information they

00:14:49.160 --> 00:14:52.190 align:middle line:84%
need with the least
amount of steps possible.

00:14:52.190 --> 00:14:54.680 align:middle line:84%
It means providing as
much help and information

00:14:54.680 --> 00:14:58.190 align:middle line:84%
as possible to make that
student feel like you care.

00:14:58.190 --> 00:14:59.840 align:middle line:84%
Caring Campus will
be looking at ways

00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:01.910 align:middle line:84%
to make warm hand-offs
easier for everyone

00:15:01.910 --> 00:15:04.430 align:middle line:84%
in the online environment,
as well as in person

00:15:04.430 --> 00:15:05.595 align:middle line:90%
once we get back to campus.

00:15:05.595 --> 00:15:08.450 align:middle line:90%


00:15:08.450 --> 00:15:10.310 align:middle line:84%
TRISHA ALBERTSON: This
is where you come in.

00:15:10.310 --> 00:15:14.450 align:middle line:84%
We are asking you for some
feedback on examples of what

00:15:14.450 --> 00:15:17.990 align:middle line:84%
a warm hand-off is,
and what it isn't.

00:15:17.990 --> 00:15:20.030 align:middle line:84%
Share with the Caring
Campus committee

00:15:20.030 --> 00:15:24.850 align:middle line:84%
good and bad examples, why
it benefited the students,

00:15:24.850 --> 00:15:28.080 align:middle line:84%
or what could have
been improved.

00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:30.600 align:middle line:84%
Have you found anything
particular helpful

00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.480 align:middle line:84%
in getting students
to the right place

00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.730 align:middle line:84%
or helping them find
what they need online?

00:15:37.730 --> 00:15:40.000 align:middle line:84%
We need to show our
students and the community

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.530 align:middle line:84%
that we are truly
a caring campus.

00:15:42.530 --> 00:15:46.390 align:middle line:84%
So please reach out to anyone
on the committee with your ideas

00:15:46.390 --> 00:15:48.200 align:middle line:90%
and suggestions.

00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.733 align:middle line:84%
Thank you, and let's
have a great semester.

00:15:50.733 --> 00:15:54.677 align:middle line:90%

LAURA HOPE: Hi, everybody.

00:16:04.185 --> 00:16:05.060 align:middle line:90%
My name's Laura Hope.

00:16:05.060 --> 00:16:07.760 align:middle line:84%
I'm the Associate
Superintendent of Instruction

00:16:07.760 --> 00:16:10.100 align:middle line:90%
and Institutional Effectiveness.

00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:12.680 align:middle line:84%
And it's really a pleasure to
greet you all this morning.

00:16:12.680 --> 00:16:14.240 align:middle line:90%
I know it's kind of unusual.

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.760 align:middle line:84%
We're all working
from home these days,

00:16:16.760 --> 00:16:20.030 align:middle line:84%
so you're in my
office with me today.

00:16:20.030 --> 00:16:22.370 align:middle line:90%
And my intern is also here.

00:16:22.370 --> 00:16:23.480 align:middle line:90%
This is Dottie.

00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:27.140 align:middle line:84%
She's my intern who spends a
lot of Zoom meetings with me.

00:16:27.140 --> 00:16:29.653 align:middle line:90%
So she's going to join.

00:16:29.653 --> 00:16:31.070 align:middle line:84%
But I'm here,
really, this morning

00:16:31.070 --> 00:16:34.160 align:middle line:84%
to remind you of a
couple of things,

00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:35.810 align:middle line:84%
and forecast some
of what we're going

00:16:35.810 --> 00:16:38.450 align:middle line:90%
to be focused on this year.

00:16:38.450 --> 00:16:42.470 align:middle line:84%
At a time when things are
so terribly uncertain,

00:16:42.470 --> 00:16:45.470 align:middle line:84%
not only for us,
but for students,

00:16:45.470 --> 00:16:47.810 align:middle line:84%
it's incredibly
important that we

00:16:47.810 --> 00:16:51.290 align:middle line:84%
refocus our energy and our
attention on our students'

00:16:51.290 --> 00:16:53.180 align:middle line:90%
needs.

00:16:53.180 --> 00:16:54.970 align:middle line:84%
As you know, many
of our students

00:16:54.970 --> 00:16:58.310 align:middle line:90%
are economically unstable.

00:16:58.310 --> 00:17:03.050 align:middle line:84%
They've got unstable social
networks or family networks.

00:17:03.050 --> 00:17:04.770 align:middle line:84%
They've got a lot
of responsibilities

00:17:04.770 --> 00:17:07.040 align:middle line:90%
and multiple jobs.

00:17:07.040 --> 00:17:09.230 align:middle line:84%
And so while we're
trying to manage

00:17:09.230 --> 00:17:11.540 align:middle line:84%
supporting their
education, we need

00:17:11.540 --> 00:17:15.440 align:middle line:84%
to make sure that we're the most
steadfast thing in their lives.

00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.079 align:middle line:84%
You just heard a little
bit about the Caring Campus

00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.220 align:middle line:84%
effort, which connects
to Guided Pathways,

00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:25.220 align:middle line:84%
as well as the college's
effort to make sure

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:28.740 align:middle line:84%
that we're putting students
first in all things.

00:17:28.740 --> 00:17:31.860 align:middle line:84%
So I'm really
appreciative of that work.

00:17:31.860 --> 00:17:35.450 align:middle line:84%
And I think it's worthwhile
to note that, as we build out

00:17:35.450 --> 00:17:38.600 align:middle line:84%
our sense of community in
our academic and career

00:17:38.600 --> 00:17:42.260 align:middle line:84%
communities, we're
not only highlighting

00:17:42.260 --> 00:17:46.110 align:middle line:84%
the needs of students in
terms of a sense of belonging,

00:17:46.110 --> 00:17:48.980 align:middle line:84%
which we focused on last
year, but we're also

00:17:48.980 --> 00:17:52.340 align:middle line:84%
building in a sense about
a student's thoughts

00:17:52.340 --> 00:17:53.480 align:middle line:90%
for the future.

00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:58.560 align:middle line:84%
And that's really what I'm here
to let you know about today.

00:17:58.560 --> 00:18:00.770 align:middle line:84%
Every year over the
next three years,

00:18:00.770 --> 00:18:03.230 align:middle line:84%
we've been focusing
on three big things.

00:18:03.230 --> 00:18:05.840 align:middle line:84%
And last year, we focused
on a sense of belonging.

00:18:05.840 --> 00:18:09.800 align:middle line:84%
And this year, we're focusing
on future-mindedness.

00:18:09.800 --> 00:18:13.970 align:middle line:84%
That's a particular challenge
when, for our students,

00:18:13.970 --> 00:18:16.610 align:middle line:84%
and maybe for all
of us, too, it's

00:18:16.610 --> 00:18:19.610 align:middle line:84%
very easy to just stay
focused on yesterday, today,

00:18:19.610 --> 00:18:21.440 align:middle line:90%
and tomorrow.

00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:22.940 align:middle line:84%
But like the work
that we've already

00:18:22.940 --> 00:18:27.320 align:middle line:84%
done as it relates to
hope, engage, succeed,

00:18:27.320 --> 00:18:30.920 align:middle line:84%
we know that an education is
the most important investment

00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:34.640 align:middle line:84%
that a student can make
today in a better tomorrow.

00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:38.420 align:middle line:84%
So while we're in this
time of uncertainty,

00:18:38.420 --> 00:18:41.780 align:middle line:84%
helping our students
persist and believe

00:18:41.780 --> 00:18:45.860 align:middle line:84%
that that investment in today
is going to pay off tomorrow

00:18:45.860 --> 00:18:48.283 align:middle line:84%
is some of our most
important work.

00:18:48.283 --> 00:18:49.700 align:middle line:84%
So this year,
you're going to hear

00:18:49.700 --> 00:18:51.530 align:middle line:84%
a lot more about
future-mindedness

00:18:51.530 --> 00:18:53.570 align:middle line:84%
and helping students
build momentum

00:18:53.570 --> 00:18:56.480 align:middle line:90%
around future-mindedness.

00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:58.580 align:middle line:84%
And I hope that
you'll participate

00:18:58.580 --> 00:19:00.710 align:middle line:84%
in a lot of the
learning opportunities

00:19:00.710 --> 00:19:02.930 align:middle line:84%
to make that a much
bigger part of the work

00:19:02.930 --> 00:19:05.550 align:middle line:90%
that you do with students.

00:19:05.550 --> 00:19:08.540 align:middle line:84%
Part of helping to focus on
the future with our students

00:19:08.540 --> 00:19:10.940 align:middle line:90%
is listening to them.

00:19:10.940 --> 00:19:15.290 align:middle line:84%
And it's my big pleasure
today to transition

00:19:15.290 --> 00:19:18.920 align:middle line:84%
to the next segment,
which features research

00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.520 align:middle line:84%
that IR, specifically
Kevin Curwin,

00:19:22.520 --> 00:19:28.790 align:middle line:84%
on a survey that we conducted in
spring among 6,000 students who

00:19:28.790 --> 00:19:31.070 align:middle line:84%
responded to the
survey, and let us

00:19:31.070 --> 00:19:34.520 align:middle line:84%
know what the spring was like
for them as they transitioned

00:19:34.520 --> 00:19:37.850 align:middle line:90%
into a fully online environment.

00:19:37.850 --> 00:19:39.530 align:middle line:84%
The things that they
have to say to us

00:19:39.530 --> 00:19:42.800 align:middle line:84%
are important for us to
take to heart as we refocus

00:19:42.800 --> 00:19:46.310 align:middle line:84%
our energy on their
experience, and I really

00:19:46.310 --> 00:19:50.030 align:middle line:84%
want to thank the IR team,
and Kevin in particular,

00:19:50.030 --> 00:19:51.067 align:middle line:90%
for his amazing work.

00:19:51.067 --> 00:19:53.150 align:middle line:84%
I know you're going to
enjoy hearing everything he

00:19:53.150 --> 00:19:54.530 align:middle line:90%
has to say.

00:19:54.530 --> 00:19:56.870 align:middle line:84%
We're also going to
do some other surveys.

00:19:56.870 --> 00:19:59.960 align:middle line:84%
Specifically, the next one
will be with the faculty.

00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:02.510 align:middle line:84%
So I'll be working with the
Senate and the association

00:20:02.510 --> 00:20:07.250 align:middle line:84%
to develop a survey so we can
track the faculty experience.

00:20:07.250 --> 00:20:11.060 align:middle line:84%
But let's make sure that today
is a way to recenter ourselves

00:20:11.060 --> 00:20:12.620 align:middle line:90%
around why we're all here.

00:20:12.620 --> 00:20:15.930 align:middle line:84%
And that is to help our
students have a better future.

00:20:15.930 --> 00:20:17.510 align:middle line:90%
So thank you for listening.

00:20:17.510 --> 00:20:19.670 align:middle line:90%
And Dottie thanks you, too.

00:20:19.670 --> 00:20:23.150 align:middle line:84%
And it's my pleasure to
welcome Kevin Curwin,

00:20:23.150 --> 00:20:25.830 align:middle line:84%
our senior research
analyst from IR.

00:20:25.830 --> 00:20:28.640 align:middle line:84%
And I know you're going to
be very interested to hear

00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:29.750 align:middle line:90%
what he has to say.

00:20:29.750 --> 00:20:30.940 align:middle line:90%
Thanks so much.

00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:32.020 align:middle line:90%
Bye.

00:20:32.020 --> 00:20:33.870 align:middle line:84%
KEVIN CURWIN: Thank you, Laura,
and good morning, everyone.

00:20:33.870 --> 00:20:35.662 align:middle line:84%
I'm grateful to be here
to be able to share

00:20:35.662 --> 00:20:37.580 align:middle line:84%
with you the results
of the survey

00:20:37.580 --> 00:20:39.710 align:middle line:84%
that we sent to all of
our enrolled students

00:20:39.710 --> 00:20:41.390 align:middle line:90%
in the spring.

00:20:41.390 --> 00:20:43.910 align:middle line:84%
We worked together with
the Distance Education

00:20:43.910 --> 00:20:46.370 align:middle line:84%
team, the Guided
Pathways team, and others

00:20:46.370 --> 00:20:48.440 align:middle line:84%
to develop the
survey, and we sent it

00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.280 align:middle line:84%
to all of our enrolled adult
students via email on May 8th.

00:20:52.280 --> 00:20:54.590 align:middle line:84%
And we continued to
collect responses

00:20:54.590 --> 00:20:56.390 align:middle line:90%
throughout the month of June.

00:20:56.390 --> 00:20:59.300 align:middle line:84%
We ended up with
over 5,000 responses

00:20:59.300 --> 00:21:01.580 align:middle line:90%
and a completion rate of 84%.

00:21:01.580 --> 00:21:03.380 align:middle line:84%
So that's 84% of
the students who

00:21:03.380 --> 00:21:06.720 align:middle line:84%
clicked on that link in their
email completed the survey.

00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.480 align:middle line:84%
So we got a lot of
rich information

00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:11.030 align:middle line:84%
that we can use to
draw conclusions

00:21:11.030 --> 00:21:14.480 align:middle line:84%
about what the students were
experiencing in the spring.

00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:16.760 align:middle line:84%
We asked a variety of
questions, including

00:21:16.760 --> 00:21:18.870 align:middle line:84%
multiple choice,
checklist items,

00:21:18.870 --> 00:21:20.580 align:middle line:90%
as well as open-ended items.

00:21:20.580 --> 00:21:22.640 align:middle line:84%
And then we took those
open-ended comments

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:25.310 align:middle line:84%
and coded them into
themes so that we could

00:21:25.310 --> 00:21:27.200 align:middle line:90%
summarize what was going on.

00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:28.790 align:middle line:84%
As we go through
the results here,

00:21:28.790 --> 00:21:32.420 align:middle line:84%
I'll include a breakdown of
some of those multiple choice,

00:21:32.420 --> 00:21:36.020 align:middle line:84%
checklist items, but also
some student quotes, which

00:21:36.020 --> 00:21:38.150 align:middle line:84%
were largely the
response to this question

00:21:38.150 --> 00:21:39.560 align:middle line:90%
that we asked at the end.

00:21:39.560 --> 00:21:42.020 align:middle line:84%
It says, if we could solve
one problem for you, what

00:21:42.020 --> 00:21:43.230 align:middle line:90%
would that be.

00:21:43.230 --> 00:21:45.980 align:middle line:84%
So we got a lot of rich
information from this question,

00:21:45.980 --> 00:21:48.350 align:middle line:84%
and I hope that it can
help as you're designing

00:21:48.350 --> 00:21:50.300 align:middle line:90%
your courses for the fall.

00:21:50.300 --> 00:21:53.360 align:middle line:84%
To start out with, we asked
about their satisfaction

00:21:53.360 --> 00:21:55.760 align:middle line:84%
with the college's
support and communication

00:21:55.760 --> 00:21:57.660 align:middle line:90%
during the online transition.

00:21:57.660 --> 00:21:59.630 align:middle line:84%
And as we can see
from this chart here,

00:21:59.630 --> 00:22:02.120 align:middle line:84%
a large majority,
over 80%, were either

00:22:02.120 --> 00:22:04.250 align:middle line:84%
very satisfied or
generally satisfied

00:22:04.250 --> 00:22:06.860 align:middle line:84%
with the college's support
during the transition

00:22:06.860 --> 00:22:08.950 align:middle line:90%
to remote learning.

00:22:08.950 --> 00:22:11.560 align:middle line:84%
Similarly, with
communication about changes

00:22:11.560 --> 00:22:14.950 align:middle line:84%
to their education, over 80%
were either very satisfied

00:22:14.950 --> 00:22:17.200 align:middle line:84%
or generally satisfied
with that, as well.

00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:19.750 align:middle line:84%
We started out by asking
them some questions

00:22:19.750 --> 00:22:21.110 align:middle line:90%
about technology.

00:22:21.110 --> 00:22:23.950 align:middle line:84%
What kind of devices do you
have available to access

00:22:23.950 --> 00:22:24.870 align:middle line:90%
course material?

00:22:24.870 --> 00:22:28.570 align:middle line:84%
What do you prefer to use, and
what do you use the most often?

00:22:28.570 --> 00:22:31.690 align:middle line:84%
We found that a majority of our
students, but not all of them,

00:22:31.690 --> 00:22:34.300 align:middle line:84%
have access to a
computer or cell phone.

00:22:34.300 --> 00:22:37.690 align:middle line:84%
About 90% had a computer
or a Chromebook,

00:22:37.690 --> 00:22:41.690 align:middle line:84%
although they were also sharing
those devices with others.

00:22:41.690 --> 00:22:44.858 align:middle line:84%
There was about 5% or
6% of the students that

00:22:44.858 --> 00:22:46.900 align:middle line:84%
didn't have a Chromebook,
didn't have a computer,

00:22:46.900 --> 00:22:47.942 align:middle line:90%
didn't have a cell phone.

00:22:47.942 --> 00:22:51.310 align:middle line:84%
They were trying to complete
their coursework in the spring

00:22:51.310 --> 00:22:53.250 align:middle line:90%
without any of these devices.

00:22:53.250 --> 00:22:57.580 align:middle line:84%
22% reported facing challenges
related to reliable internet

00:22:57.580 --> 00:22:58.580 align:middle line:90%
service.

00:22:58.580 --> 00:23:01.990 align:middle line:84%
So I want to talk a bit more
about the internet connection

00:23:01.990 --> 00:23:04.715 align:middle line:84%
issues, as well as
sharing devices.

00:23:04.715 --> 00:23:07.780 align:middle line:84%
This is a student who says,
"I have a very basic internet

00:23:07.780 --> 00:23:09.670 align:middle line:90%
and very basic phone plan.

00:23:09.670 --> 00:23:12.340 align:middle line:84%
I feel like I'm taking these
classes with one hand tied

00:23:12.340 --> 00:23:14.290 align:middle line:90%
behind my back."

00:23:14.290 --> 00:23:17.530 align:middle line:84%
Some students were using
their cell phone's data plan.

00:23:17.530 --> 00:23:19.930 align:middle line:84%
They were using it as a
hotspot for their computer.

00:23:19.930 --> 00:23:22.930 align:middle line:84%
They were traveling to a
friend or family's home

00:23:22.930 --> 00:23:25.240 align:middle line:84%
to use their internet
or use their computer

00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:28.450 align:middle line:90%
to access their coursework.

00:23:28.450 --> 00:23:30.610 align:middle line:84%
Many students talked
about the difficulties

00:23:30.610 --> 00:23:32.740 align:middle line:90%
with finding internet access.

00:23:32.740 --> 00:23:34.570 align:middle line:84%
Since everything was
closed or shut down,

00:23:34.570 --> 00:23:38.545 align:middle line:84%
they couldn't come to campus,
they couldn't go to Starbucks

00:23:38.545 --> 00:23:42.280 align:middle line:84%
and sit in the Starbucks
to access the internet.

00:23:42.280 --> 00:23:44.970 align:middle line:84%
And many are also
sharing devices.

00:23:44.970 --> 00:23:48.670 align:middle line:84%
"I share my computer with my
sister, who is also a Chaffey

00:23:48.670 --> 00:23:51.220 align:middle line:84%
College student, and our
course meets at the same time

00:23:51.220 --> 00:23:52.630 align:middle line:90%
every week."

00:23:52.630 --> 00:23:55.570 align:middle line:84%
Previously, when they're
taking in-person classes,

00:23:55.570 --> 00:23:56.570 align:middle line:90%
that's not a problem.

00:23:56.570 --> 00:23:59.020 align:middle line:84%
But now that everything
is online via Zoom,

00:23:59.020 --> 00:24:01.720 align:middle line:84%
suddenly there's competition
for that computer that

00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:03.820 align:middle line:90%
previously didn't exist.

00:24:03.820 --> 00:24:06.520 align:middle line:84%
Others talked about
now my children are

00:24:06.520 --> 00:24:09.280 align:middle line:84%
home, K-12 students,
and now they're at home,

00:24:09.280 --> 00:24:12.430 align:middle line:84%
and they need to use a computer
to take their courses online,

00:24:12.430 --> 00:24:14.570 align:middle line:84%
and I'm trying to
do the same thing.

00:24:14.570 --> 00:24:16.420 align:middle line:84%
And so there's a
lot more competition

00:24:16.420 --> 00:24:20.060 align:middle line:84%
for these devices in the home
now than there used to be.

00:24:20.060 --> 00:24:23.890 align:middle line:84%
And those two things combined,
internet issues and device

00:24:23.890 --> 00:24:26.770 align:middle line:84%
access issues, combined
to make everything

00:24:26.770 --> 00:24:28.880 align:middle line:84%
about the online
course more difficult.

00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.050 align:middle line:84%
Submitting assignments,
taking tests,

00:24:31.050 --> 00:24:33.430 align:middle line:84%
accessing course
material, attending

00:24:33.430 --> 00:24:36.400 align:middle line:84%
lectures all were made
more difficult by the fact

00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:39.160 align:middle line:84%
that internet connection
issues or internet

00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:42.640 align:middle line:84%
access is unreliable and
their access to these devices

00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:43.900 align:middle line:90%
are unreliable.

00:24:43.900 --> 00:24:46.750 align:middle line:84%
When it comes to the
format, many of our students

00:24:46.750 --> 00:24:49.480 align:middle line:84%
prefer to either not
meet virtually at all

00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:51.460 align:middle line:90%
or to meet virtually sometimes.

00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:56.230 align:middle line:84%
Only 23% prefer to meet
virtually at a fixed time.

00:24:56.230 --> 00:24:59.590 align:middle line:84%
44% prefer to meet
virtually sometimes,

00:24:59.590 --> 00:25:02.290 align:middle line:84%
and 33% would prefer
to not meet at all.

00:25:02.290 --> 00:25:04.750 align:middle line:84%
So very loud and clear
throughout the comments,

00:25:04.750 --> 00:25:07.960 align:middle line:84%
as well, the students prefer
asynchronous arrangements.

00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.740 align:middle line:84%
Their work and family
routines were disruptive--

00:25:11.740 --> 00:25:13.200 align:middle line:90%
were disrupted, excuse me--

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.850 align:middle line:84%
were disrupted,
and now they need

00:25:15.850 --> 00:25:19.210 align:middle line:84%
to be able to access the course
material whenever they can,

00:25:19.210 --> 00:25:22.982 align:middle line:84%
whenever they can get access to
the internet and that computer,

00:25:22.982 --> 00:25:24.190 align:middle line:90%
whenever they're not working.

00:25:24.190 --> 00:25:25.990 align:middle line:84%
Their work schedules
had changed,

00:25:25.990 --> 00:25:28.630 align:middle line:84%
so they prefer those
asynchronous arrangements.

00:25:28.630 --> 00:25:32.137 align:middle line:84%
However, by themselves,
those asynchronous setup

00:25:32.137 --> 00:25:33.220 align:middle line:90%
is not going to be enough.

00:25:33.220 --> 00:25:36.580 align:middle line:84%
So the students still
want to have communication

00:25:36.580 --> 00:25:38.440 align:middle line:84%
and interaction with
their instructors

00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:40.060 align:middle line:90%
and with their classmates.

00:25:40.060 --> 00:25:42.820 align:middle line:84%
There were a few comments
along the lines of I

00:25:42.820 --> 00:25:45.340 align:middle line:84%
feel like I'm teaching
myself this material,

00:25:45.340 --> 00:25:47.230 align:middle line:90%
PowerPoint slides aren't enough.

00:25:47.230 --> 00:25:50.530 align:middle line:84%
And so while they prefer
asynchronous arrangements,

00:25:50.530 --> 00:25:53.170 align:middle line:84%
they very much still desire
communication and interaction

00:25:53.170 --> 00:25:57.170 align:middle line:84%
with their instructors,
as well as each other.

00:25:57.170 --> 00:26:00.760 align:middle line:84%
Some of the activities that they
found the most helpful while

00:26:00.760 --> 00:26:03.910 align:middle line:84%
learning online included course
files and content available

00:26:03.910 --> 00:26:07.180 align:middle line:84%
online, instructor videos
reviewing the content,

00:26:07.180 --> 00:26:11.530 align:middle line:84%
or recorded lectures,
online lectures via Zoom,

00:26:11.530 --> 00:26:14.742 align:middle line:84%
or finding ways to communicate
with their classmates.

00:26:14.742 --> 00:26:16.825 align:middle line:84%
Here's a student speaking
about recorded lectures.

00:26:16.825 --> 00:26:19.030 align:middle line:84%
"I wish all teachers
could record class

00:26:19.030 --> 00:26:21.430 align:middle line:84%
because even when I'm
on Zoom, sometimes

00:26:21.430 --> 00:26:23.900 align:middle line:84%
I need to attend to
children at home."

00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:25.960 align:middle line:84%
So even those students
who are able to attend

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:29.260 align:middle line:84%
a synchronous lecture
talked about the possibility

00:26:29.260 --> 00:26:30.670 align:middle line:90%
of interruptions.

00:26:30.670 --> 00:26:32.890 align:middle line:84%
I need to take care
of my children,

00:26:32.890 --> 00:26:35.290 align:middle line:84%
my dog starts barking, the
dog needs to go outside,

00:26:35.290 --> 00:26:37.930 align:middle line:84%
someone knocks at the door,
I don't have a quiet place

00:26:37.930 --> 00:26:41.950 align:middle line:84%
to sit and study, so my family
is constantly interrupting me.

00:26:41.950 --> 00:26:45.088 align:middle line:84%
So even for those
synchronous sessions,

00:26:45.088 --> 00:26:46.630 align:middle line:84%
students who are
able to attend would

00:26:46.630 --> 00:26:49.490 align:middle line:84%
like to be able to access
the recordings later.

00:26:49.490 --> 00:26:52.480 align:middle line:84%
Especially with those
internet connection issues--

00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:54.280 align:middle line:84%
we've all been on Zoom
and see how it goes.

00:26:54.280 --> 00:26:55.690 align:middle line:90%
Sometimes people will freeze.

00:26:55.690 --> 00:26:57.820 align:middle line:90%
The audio stops or stutters.

00:26:57.820 --> 00:26:59.440 align:middle line:84%
And the students
don't want to miss

00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.170 align:middle line:84%
any important material because
of their internet connection

00:27:02.170 --> 00:27:03.250 align:middle line:90%
issues.

00:27:03.250 --> 00:27:05.110 align:middle line:84%
So making those
recordings available later

00:27:05.110 --> 00:27:06.940 align:middle line:84%
would allow them
to see the parts

00:27:06.940 --> 00:27:08.440 align:middle line:84%
that they missed
because of whatever

00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:09.850 align:middle line:90%
happened during lecture.

00:27:09.850 --> 00:27:13.070 align:middle line:90%


00:27:13.070 --> 00:27:15.740 align:middle line:84%
Students discussed a variety
of challenges that they faced.

00:27:15.740 --> 00:27:20.150 align:middle line:84%
And their work schedules, their
family care responsibilities,

00:27:20.150 --> 00:27:24.260 align:middle line:84%
their academic routines
were all greatly disrupted.

00:27:24.260 --> 00:27:28.010 align:middle line:84%
About one third reported not
having a quiet place to study,

00:27:28.010 --> 00:27:31.340 align:middle line:84%
and many were having
challenges with motivation,

00:27:31.340 --> 00:27:34.160 align:middle line:84%
difficulty focusing
or paying attention,

00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:36.680 align:middle line:84%
and their motivation
to complete coursework.

00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:41.330 align:middle line:84%
There's a thread of everything
that's going on right now,

00:27:41.330 --> 00:27:44.270 align:middle line:84%
my problems with work,
my family's issues,

00:27:44.270 --> 00:27:48.057 align:middle line:84%
people are sick, I just really
can't focus on my schoolwork.

00:27:48.057 --> 00:27:50.390 align:middle line:84%
Here's a student saying, "my
whole family has been home,

00:27:50.390 --> 00:27:52.557 align:middle line:84%
and I just don't get the
privacy and focused mindset

00:27:52.557 --> 00:27:55.280 align:middle line:84%
that I could get going
into the classroom."

00:27:55.280 --> 00:27:57.500 align:middle line:84%
We'll talk more about
the difficulties

00:27:57.500 --> 00:28:01.560 align:middle line:84%
of finding a quiet place
to study here in a moment.

00:28:01.560 --> 00:28:03.770 align:middle line:84%
Here's a student that
just kind of illustrates

00:28:03.770 --> 00:28:06.530 align:middle line:84%
how much their responsibilities
and their routines

00:28:06.530 --> 00:28:09.172 align:middle line:84%
changed since the
beginning of the semester.

00:28:09.172 --> 00:28:10.880 align:middle line:84%
"At the beginning of
the spring semester,

00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:13.340 align:middle line:84%
I just had to focus on my
schoolwork, my homework,

00:28:13.340 --> 00:28:15.170 align:middle line:84%
and then there
would be extra time.

00:28:15.170 --> 00:28:17.690 align:middle line:84%
After March 20th,
my responsibilities

00:28:17.690 --> 00:28:20.630 align:middle line:84%
grew to tutoring my sisters
of second and fourth grade,

00:28:20.630 --> 00:28:22.880 align:middle line:84%
teaching them how to use
Microsoft Teams and computer

00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:24.890 align:middle line:90%
programs, and some projects.

00:28:24.890 --> 00:28:26.690 align:middle line:90%
My parents don't know English.

00:28:26.690 --> 00:28:29.035 align:middle line:84%
My brother works
every day but Sunday.

00:28:29.035 --> 00:28:31.160 align:middle line:84%
I would have to still work
Thursday through Sunday,

00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:33.440 align:middle line:84%
and make sure my sister
finished the week's

00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:34.797 align:middle line:90%
homework by Wednesday.

00:28:34.797 --> 00:28:37.130 align:middle line:84%
This toll began weighing on
me, and with not enough time

00:28:37.130 --> 00:28:39.050 align:middle line:84%
in the week, I didn't
do as well in my classes

00:28:39.050 --> 00:28:41.990 align:middle line:90%
as I knew I would have."

00:28:41.990 --> 00:28:44.675 align:middle line:84%
Other students
discussed working more

00:28:44.675 --> 00:28:46.175 align:middle line:84%
since the beginning
of the pandemic.

00:28:46.175 --> 00:28:49.760 align:middle line:84%
I'm now working overtime
as an essential worker,

00:28:49.760 --> 00:28:53.120 align:middle line:84%
I'm now working more because
my father lost their job,

00:28:53.120 --> 00:28:58.400 align:middle line:84%
I'm now working more so that
my family can keep our home.

00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:01.450 align:middle line:84%
So some students lost
income, were saying at home,

00:29:01.450 --> 00:29:03.170 align:middle line:90%
were able to work from home.

00:29:03.170 --> 00:29:04.760 align:middle line:90%
Others were working more.

00:29:04.760 --> 00:29:07.310 align:middle line:84%
They had family care
responsibilities

00:29:07.310 --> 00:29:09.060 align:middle line:90%
that they didn't have before.

00:29:09.060 --> 00:29:11.570 align:middle line:84%
And so their personal lives
were greatly disrupted,

00:29:11.570 --> 00:29:14.390 align:middle line:84%
and that had a large impact
on their academic routines,

00:29:14.390 --> 00:29:15.850 align:middle line:90%
as well.

00:29:15.850 --> 00:29:19.440 align:middle line:90%
23% reported a loss of income.

00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:22.960 align:middle line:84%
Again, 32% reported not
having a quiet place to study.

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.120 align:middle line:84%
Many are concerned with
their grades, over 50%.

00:29:26.120 --> 00:29:28.720 align:middle line:84%
39% were concerned
with communication

00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:30.520 align:middle line:90%
with their instructors.

00:29:30.520 --> 00:29:33.430 align:middle line:84%
My only way to communicate with
my instructor now is email,

00:29:33.430 --> 00:29:37.870 align:middle line:84%
and I have these questions
about the coursework.

00:29:37.870 --> 00:29:39.700 align:middle line:84%
So communication
with instructors

00:29:39.700 --> 00:29:44.200 align:middle line:84%
was a very big concern, not
only in the checklist item

00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:48.630 align:middle line:84%
that we asked, but in the
open-ended comments, as well.

00:29:48.630 --> 00:29:52.040 align:middle line:84%
Here's a student talking about
their lack of a quiet place

00:29:52.040 --> 00:29:53.742 align:middle line:84%
to study, but also
the internet access

00:29:53.742 --> 00:29:54.950 align:middle line:90%
issues that they were having.

00:29:54.950 --> 00:29:57.380 align:middle line:84%
"My laptop would only
make up internet services

00:29:57.380 --> 00:29:59.060 align:middle line:84%
certain places
throughout my home,

00:29:59.060 --> 00:30:02.240 align:middle line:84%
and it was not always
reliable to stay in one spot.

00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:04.590 align:middle line:84%
Also, I live in a home
with 11 other people,

00:30:04.590 --> 00:30:08.030 align:middle line:84%
including my 7-month-old
and my one-year-old babies.

00:30:08.030 --> 00:30:11.520 align:middle line:84%
There's hardly anywhere
to go where it was quiet."

00:30:11.520 --> 00:30:14.830 align:middle line:84%
"My major problem is that,
while my kids were in school,

00:30:14.830 --> 00:30:15.760 align:middle line:90%
I would study.

00:30:15.760 --> 00:30:18.280 align:middle line:84%
I cannot sit for long periods
of time and get my work done

00:30:18.280 --> 00:30:20.380 align:middle line:90%
without being interrupted."

00:30:20.380 --> 00:30:22.450 align:middle line:84%
Finding a quiet place
to study is a challenge

00:30:22.450 --> 00:30:25.120 align:middle line:84%
for many of our students,
and many of them

00:30:25.120 --> 00:30:27.130 align:middle line:90%
talked about it in the comments.

00:30:27.130 --> 00:30:30.130 align:middle line:84%
This also has an
impact on testing.

00:30:30.130 --> 00:30:32.590 align:middle line:84%
Time on tests,
specifically, was one

00:30:32.590 --> 00:30:34.660 align:middle line:84%
of the most commonly
reported accessibility

00:30:34.660 --> 00:30:37.930 align:middle line:84%
issues, and one of the most
common themes in the comments,

00:30:37.930 --> 00:30:38.600 align:middle line:90%
as well.

00:30:38.600 --> 00:30:40.300 align:middle line:90%
"Please, no timed tests.

00:30:40.300 --> 00:30:42.280 align:middle line:84%
My house is not a
place to take a test.

00:30:42.280 --> 00:30:44.000 align:middle line:90%
It's loud and uncomfortable.

00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:47.200 align:middle line:84%
I don't even have a
comfortable chair or desk."

00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:50.050 align:middle line:84%
So many of our students don't
have a quiet place to study,

00:30:50.050 --> 00:30:53.290 align:middle line:84%
they don't have a quiet place to
study that has internet access,

00:30:53.290 --> 00:30:55.780 align:middle line:84%
or here, some of them don't
even have a comfortable place

00:30:55.780 --> 00:30:58.670 align:middle line:90%
to sit and study.

00:30:58.670 --> 00:31:02.370 align:middle line:84%
"Online exams were very
difficult to complete at home,

00:31:02.370 --> 00:31:04.920 align:middle line:84%
as I live in a more secluded
area where the internet goes

00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:05.645 align:middle line:90%
out.

00:31:05.645 --> 00:31:07.020 align:middle line:84%
I couldn't even
go somewhere else

00:31:07.020 --> 00:31:09.390 align:middle line:90%
because everywhere was closed.

00:31:09.390 --> 00:31:11.440 align:middle line:84%
It wouldn't have mattered,
but exams were timed.

00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:14.130 align:middle line:84%
Thus, my grades suffered
every time I got kicked out.

00:31:14.130 --> 00:31:16.300 align:middle line:84%
It took several
minutes to log back in,

00:31:16.300 --> 00:31:19.280 align:middle line:90%
but the time never stopped."

00:31:19.280 --> 00:31:21.710 align:middle line:84%
Combined with these
concerns, students also

00:31:21.710 --> 00:31:25.280 align:middle line:84%
discussed the difficulty
navigating online courses when

00:31:25.280 --> 00:31:28.010 align:middle line:90%
every course was different.

00:31:28.010 --> 00:31:30.200 align:middle line:84%
My course in this subject
operates this way.

00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:32.180 align:middle line:84%
I log on to this place
to get the assignments,

00:31:32.180 --> 00:31:33.590 align:middle line:90%
I turn them in this way.

00:31:33.590 --> 00:31:35.982 align:middle line:84%
My other course is
completely different.

00:31:35.982 --> 00:31:37.940 align:middle line:84%
Here's a student that
says, "each teacher posts

00:31:37.940 --> 00:31:39.380 align:middle line:90%
things in different places.

00:31:39.380 --> 00:31:40.880 align:middle line:84%
I have to learn
where to find things

00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:42.290 align:middle line:90%
from each different teacher.

00:31:42.290 --> 00:31:45.680 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes things don't get
posted or I don't see them."

00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:49.490 align:middle line:84%
Many of the students expressed
a desire for more of the course

00:31:49.490 --> 00:31:51.410 align:middle line:84%
to take place in
Canvas, and to not

00:31:51.410 --> 00:31:55.250 align:middle line:84%
have to go to other locations to
access their course materials.

00:31:55.250 --> 00:31:58.530 align:middle line:90%


00:31:58.530 --> 00:32:03.020 align:middle line:84%
So in closing, some of the major
themes of the student responses

00:32:03.020 --> 00:32:05.900 align:middle line:84%
were inconsistent internet
access and the difficulty

00:32:05.900 --> 00:32:08.970 align:middle line:84%
of sharing computers and
digital devices with others.

00:32:08.970 --> 00:32:11.060 align:middle line:84%
These issues are pervasive,
and cause further

00:32:11.060 --> 00:32:14.330 align:middle line:84%
challenges when completing
other parts of the course.

00:32:14.330 --> 00:32:17.360 align:middle line:84%
When taking a test, when
accessing course material

00:32:17.360 --> 00:32:19.250 align:middle line:90%
or submitting assignments.

00:32:19.250 --> 00:32:23.910 align:middle line:84%
And this also, combined with the
lack of a quiet place to study,

00:32:23.910 --> 00:32:26.340 align:middle line:90%
made things very difficult.

00:32:26.340 --> 00:32:29.450 align:middle line:84%
What works well on one device
may not work well on another.

00:32:29.450 --> 00:32:31.207 align:middle line:84%
Some of our students
are using Chromebooks

00:32:31.207 --> 00:32:33.290 align:middle line:84%
that we've distributed and
made available to them.

00:32:33.290 --> 00:32:36.750 align:middle line:84%
They're very grateful for that
program and those devices.

00:32:36.750 --> 00:32:39.470 align:middle line:84%
However, some of the course
material that's posted

00:32:39.470 --> 00:32:41.930 align:middle line:84%
doesn't really work that
well with the Chromebook.

00:32:41.930 --> 00:32:45.050 align:middle line:84%
So thinking about how
to host your course

00:32:45.050 --> 00:32:48.470 align:middle line:84%
content in a way that's
accessible to the greatest

00:32:48.470 --> 00:32:51.620 align:middle line:84%
number of digital devices
would be worthwhile.

00:32:51.620 --> 00:32:54.350 align:middle line:84%
For instance, PowerPoint
slides can be a challenge

00:32:54.350 --> 00:32:55.790 align:middle line:90%
for some people to access.

00:32:55.790 --> 00:32:59.470 align:middle line:84%
If they're hosted in a PDF
form or even on Google Slides,

00:32:59.470 --> 00:33:03.500 align:middle line:84%
it will be more accessible to
a greater number of students.

00:33:03.500 --> 00:33:04.480 align:middle line:90%
Some are not working.

00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:05.860 align:middle line:90%
Others are now working more.

00:33:05.860 --> 00:33:10.090 align:middle line:84%
There's not a consistent
experience across the students,

00:33:10.090 --> 00:33:12.740 align:middle line:84%
where they're all at home
now and they have more time.

00:33:12.740 --> 00:33:14.170 align:middle line:90%
Some of them are working more.

00:33:14.170 --> 00:33:16.660 align:middle line:84%
They have more childcare
responsibilities

00:33:16.660 --> 00:33:20.160 align:middle line:90%
or other concerns.

00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:22.260 align:middle line:84%
The students are
resilient, and they

00:33:22.260 --> 00:33:25.770 align:middle line:84%
are grateful for everything that
we've been doing in the spring.

00:33:25.770 --> 00:33:27.390 align:middle line:84%
The success rates,
retention rates

00:33:27.390 --> 00:33:31.800 align:middle line:84%
were as good or better than
they were in spring of 2019.

00:33:31.800 --> 00:33:34.680 align:middle line:84%
This student says, "thank
you for your constant support

00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:35.820 align:middle line:90%
and outreach.

00:33:35.820 --> 00:33:38.010 align:middle line:84%
I appreciate Chaffey
and their faculty.

00:33:38.010 --> 00:33:41.190 align:middle line:84%
I love online courses and being
able to work on my own time,

00:33:41.190 --> 00:33:42.720 align:middle line:84%
and having that
freedom has helped

00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.330 align:middle line:84%
encourage me to finish
school while working around

00:33:45.330 --> 00:33:48.048 align:middle line:84%
my schedule and
continue forward."

00:33:48.048 --> 00:33:49.026 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:33:49.026 --> 00:33:57.357 align:middle line:90%


00:33:57.357 --> 00:33:58.440 align:middle line:90%
VICKY VALLE: Hi, everyone.

00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:00.080 align:middle line:90%
My name is Vicky Valle.

00:34:00.080 --> 00:34:03.000 align:middle line:84%
And in case you can't tell
from the quote we just saw,

00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:05.550 align:middle line:90%
it's time for the Puck Award.

00:34:05.550 --> 00:34:07.000 align:middle line:90%
What is the Puck Award?

00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:09.949 align:middle line:84%
Puck Award is given to
those who skate to where

00:34:09.949 --> 00:34:11.750 align:middle line:90%
the puck is going to be.

00:34:11.750 --> 00:34:14.239 align:middle line:84%
They've done
something innovative,

00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:16.909 align:middle line:84%
found a unique
solution to a problem,

00:34:16.909 --> 00:34:19.380 align:middle line:84%
or enhanced the work
or learning environment

00:34:19.380 --> 00:34:22.504 align:middle line:90%
in a way that is creative.

00:34:22.504 --> 00:34:24.650 align:middle line:84%
Now, I know that that
sounds like a lot of us here

00:34:24.650 --> 00:34:28.100 align:middle line:84%
at Chaffey,
especially this year.

00:34:28.100 --> 00:34:30.560 align:middle line:84%
And even though we
all deserve the award,

00:34:30.560 --> 00:34:32.870 align:middle line:84%
today we're going to look
at those individuals who

00:34:32.870 --> 00:34:36.239 align:middle line:84%
stood out from the rest and were
nominated by their colleague.

00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:39.750 align:middle line:90%
Here they are.

00:34:39.750 --> 00:34:46.449 align:middle line:84%
Alberto Corona, Angela
Cardinale, Joe Vallejo,

00:34:46.449 --> 00:34:49.834 align:middle line:84%
We have a duo, Charmaine
Phipps and Kyle Pennet.

00:34:49.834 --> 00:34:54.850 align:middle line:84%
We have another duo, Robert
Stoner and Michael Stoner,

00:34:54.850 --> 00:34:59.490 align:middle line:84%
Marlene Soto, Rose Ann
Osmanian, and Shelley Eckvahl.

Jo Alvarez and Tara Paul,
and the Distance Ed team.

00:35:16.340 --> 00:35:19.010 align:middle line:84%
Prizes will be given for three
categories-- staff, faculty,

00:35:19.010 --> 00:35:21.120 align:middle line:90%
and team.

00:35:21.120 --> 00:35:23.820 align:middle line:84%
Each of the categories
gets the trophy,

00:35:23.820 --> 00:35:25.830 align:middle line:84%
and the staff and
faculty categories

00:35:25.830 --> 00:35:30.660 align:middle line:84%
will get a prize of $1,000
of travel and conference.

00:35:30.660 --> 00:35:32.380 align:middle line:84%
Now, let's see what
the nominators have

00:35:32.380 --> 00:35:36.010 align:middle line:84%
to say about the nominees,
and let's find out

00:35:36.010 --> 00:35:38.157 align:middle line:90%
who the winners are.

Congratulations to
all of our winners,

00:42:54.070 --> 00:42:56.290 align:middle line:90%
and also all of our nominees.

00:42:56.290 --> 00:42:59.650 align:middle line:84%
And now, we get to move
into the retiree recognition

00:42:59.650 --> 00:43:01.010 align:middle line:90%
and the service awards.

00:43:01.010 --> 00:43:02.830 align:middle line:84%
And following that,
we'll get to hear

00:43:02.830 --> 00:43:05.764 align:middle line:84%
from our superintendent and
president, Dr. Henry Shannon.

HENRY SHANNON: Good morning.

00:45:24.370 --> 00:45:28.440 align:middle line:84%
Welcome to the 2020 fall
semester at Chaffey College.

00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:32.700 align:middle line:84%
First, I would like to
take this opportunity

00:45:32.700 --> 00:45:37.560 align:middle line:84%
to recognize our retirees
and service award recipients.

00:45:37.560 --> 00:45:41.370 align:middle line:84%
Congratulations to
you all, and thank you

00:45:41.370 --> 00:45:45.690 align:middle line:84%
for your wonderful contributions
to Chaffey College.

00:45:45.690 --> 00:45:49.980 align:middle line:84%
I also would like to acknowledge
the wonderful leadership

00:45:49.980 --> 00:45:55.170 align:middle line:84%
of our governing board and
their respective officers.

00:45:55.170 --> 00:45:57.270 align:middle line:90%
They continue to do a great job.

00:45:57.270 --> 00:46:02.940 align:middle line:84%
Thank you to each of you for
your commitment to our college.

00:46:02.940 --> 00:46:06.150 align:middle line:84%
As your superintendent and
president, I want all of you

00:46:06.150 --> 00:46:09.780 align:middle line:84%
to take a moment and
take a deep breath,

00:46:09.780 --> 00:46:14.700 align:middle line:84%
because 2020 has thus
far shown itself, well,

00:46:14.700 --> 00:46:17.830 align:middle line:90%
to be a little crazy.

00:46:17.830 --> 00:46:19.710 align:middle line:90%
So take a breath.

00:46:19.710 --> 00:46:23.970 align:middle line:84%
Despite the 2020 challenges
and opportunities,

00:46:23.970 --> 00:46:26.770 align:middle line:84%
remember how strong
each of you are.

00:46:26.770 --> 00:46:29.220 align:middle line:84%
Remember how strong
our students are.

00:46:29.220 --> 00:46:37.440 align:middle line:84%
In the spring, we pivoted
our entire way to online.

00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:40.170 align:middle line:90%
And we finished strong.

00:46:40.170 --> 00:46:45.240 align:middle line:84%
And now, the fall semester
is about to begin.

00:46:45.240 --> 00:46:49.230 align:middle line:84%
There is no doubt
that we have what

00:46:49.230 --> 00:46:55.840 align:middle line:84%
it takes to finish this term
and this year very strong.

00:46:55.840 --> 00:47:03.450 align:middle line:84%
But the best way to do it is
for all of us working together.

00:47:03.450 --> 00:47:08.640 align:middle line:84%
We must embrace that we
are in this together,

00:47:08.640 --> 00:47:10.770 align:middle line:90%
and that we're not alone.

00:47:10.770 --> 00:47:15.250 align:middle line:84%
Colleges and universities from
around the state, the nation,

00:47:15.250 --> 00:47:19.920 align:middle line:84%
and the world are facing
similar challenges.

00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:24.780 align:middle line:84%
With everything facing
us, now is the time, maybe

00:47:24.780 --> 00:47:28.380 align:middle line:84%
more than ever, for
us to think ahead,

00:47:28.380 --> 00:47:32.580 align:middle line:90%
to plan and to strategize.

00:47:32.580 --> 00:47:36.690 align:middle line:84%
Now is the time to
be future-minded.

00:47:36.690 --> 00:47:40.080 align:middle line:84%
Since this is our
theme this year,

00:47:40.080 --> 00:47:42.820 align:middle line:84%
we are already on
the right track.

00:47:42.820 --> 00:47:46.170 align:middle line:84%
I do believe firmly
that that's true.

00:47:46.170 --> 00:47:50.460 align:middle line:84%
If we do not think ahead
to determine how best

00:47:50.460 --> 00:47:53.010 align:middle line:84%
we can meet the
needs of our students

00:47:53.010 --> 00:47:56.700 align:middle line:90%
as an institution, shame on us.

00:47:56.700 --> 00:48:00.150 align:middle line:84%
We are not serving them
to their potential,

00:48:00.150 --> 00:48:01.755 align:middle line:90%
nor are we working toward ours.

00:48:01.755 --> 00:48:04.610 align:middle line:90%


00:48:04.610 --> 00:48:08.950 align:middle line:84%
When I think about the
theme future-mindedness,

00:48:08.950 --> 00:48:12.860 align:middle line:84%
and on a personal level, I
think of my grandchildren.

00:48:12.860 --> 00:48:16.670 align:middle line:84%
My wife, Gwendolyn and
I, as many of you know,

00:48:16.670 --> 00:48:19.886 align:middle line:90%
have 10 grandchildren.

00:48:19.886 --> 00:48:24.170 align:middle line:84%
The youngest are my
four-year-old twin

00:48:24.170 --> 00:48:25.850 align:middle line:90%
granddaughters.

00:48:25.850 --> 00:48:30.110 align:middle line:84%
And I've watched them navigate
their tablets and the internet.

00:48:30.110 --> 00:48:34.310 align:middle line:84%
And sometimes, they do
it better than I do.

00:48:34.310 --> 00:48:38.750 align:middle line:84%
They find their videos,
they sing their songs,

00:48:38.750 --> 00:48:44.990 align:middle line:84%
they hear rhymes, and they're
not even in kindergarten yet.

00:48:44.990 --> 00:48:50.630 align:middle line:84%
I share this because things have
been changing for a long time.

00:48:50.630 --> 00:48:56.450 align:middle line:84%
Things are not how I learned,
or even how you learned.

00:48:56.450 --> 00:49:01.100 align:middle line:84%
The hardest part of meeting
our students where they are

00:49:01.100 --> 00:49:05.090 align:middle line:84%
is figuring out
how they got there.

00:49:05.090 --> 00:49:09.410 align:middle line:84%
Thinking ahead, will
my grandchildren

00:49:09.410 --> 00:49:14.600 align:middle line:84%
even have printed
textbooks in the future?

00:49:14.600 --> 00:49:16.470 align:middle line:90%
Well, distance education.

00:49:16.470 --> 00:49:20.850 align:middle line:84%
It'll be the norm and
part of their lives.

00:49:20.850 --> 00:49:23.060 align:middle line:90%
These questions are vital.

00:49:23.060 --> 00:49:26.090 align:middle line:84%
And higher education,
I believe, is

00:49:26.090 --> 00:49:32.060 align:middle line:84%
at the cusp of showing that
we can pivot when we need to,

00:49:32.060 --> 00:49:35.720 align:middle line:84%
whether that means teaching
online or learning how

00:49:35.720 --> 00:49:38.060 align:middle line:84%
to teach in ways that
are different than what

00:49:38.060 --> 00:49:39.980 align:middle line:90%
we are used to doing.

00:49:39.980 --> 00:49:43.910 align:middle line:84%
They say, to know
where you're going,

00:49:43.910 --> 00:49:47.300 align:middle line:84%
one must know where
he or she has been.

00:49:47.300 --> 00:49:50.280 align:middle line:90%


00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:53.370 align:middle line:84%
Over the past year,
Chaffey College

00:49:53.370 --> 00:49:57.710 align:middle line:90%
has shined, despite the clouds.

00:49:57.710 --> 00:50:01.305 align:middle line:90%
Let's start with COVID-19.

00:50:01.305 --> 00:50:05.900 align:middle line:84%
This global pandemic virtually
stopped our normal way

00:50:05.900 --> 00:50:07.820 align:middle line:90%
of living.

00:50:07.820 --> 00:50:11.390 align:middle line:84%
But not for Chaffey
College faculty and staff.

00:50:11.390 --> 00:50:16.490 align:middle line:84%
You showed how well you
continue to serve students, even

00:50:16.490 --> 00:50:20.590 align:middle line:90%
in the middle of this pandemic.

00:50:20.590 --> 00:50:25.640 align:middle line:90%
First, we moved entirely online.

00:50:25.640 --> 00:50:28.530 align:middle line:90%
How did we do this?

00:50:28.530 --> 00:50:34.160 align:middle line:84%
Well, it required
a lot of teamwork.

00:50:34.160 --> 00:50:38.270 align:middle line:84%
The entire campus
community stepped up

00:50:38.270 --> 00:50:40.730 align:middle line:90%
in the midst of a crisis.

00:50:40.730 --> 00:50:45.230 align:middle line:84%
And that said, we had some
wonderful leaders helping us

00:50:45.230 --> 00:50:48.240 align:middle line:90%
through this process.

00:50:48.240 --> 00:50:49.610 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:50:49.610 --> 00:50:53.685 align:middle line:84%
Thank you to our
Distance Education team

00:50:53.685 --> 00:50:56.030 align:middle line:84%
and the distance
education coaches

00:50:56.030 --> 00:51:00.920 align:middle line:84%
for helping us transition
to remote instruction.

00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:03.590 align:middle line:90%
Great work.

00:51:03.590 --> 00:51:07.130 align:middle line:84%
Faculty and staff,
you stepped up

00:51:07.130 --> 00:51:11.240 align:middle line:84%
to hand out more than 2,000
loaner laptops to students,

00:51:11.240 --> 00:51:17.450 align:middle line:84%
sometimes in the rain, ensuring
that our Panthers could

00:51:17.450 --> 00:51:22.640 align:middle line:84%
finish their spring semester and
continue with their coursework

00:51:22.640 --> 00:51:25.220 align:middle line:90%
throughout the summer.

00:51:25.220 --> 00:51:28.940 align:middle line:84%
As long as the
students stay enrolled

00:51:28.940 --> 00:51:34.960 align:middle line:84%
and registered in classes, they
can keep using this technology.

00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:40.900 align:middle line:84%
So thank you to all of you
who helped make that happen.

00:51:40.900 --> 00:51:43.980 align:middle line:84%
Our Information
Technology Services team

00:51:43.980 --> 00:51:47.550 align:middle line:84%
have worked hard to keep our
systems running and helping

00:51:47.550 --> 00:51:50.970 align:middle line:84%
our faculty and staff
with their remote work.

00:51:50.970 --> 00:51:53.430 align:middle line:90%
Thank you to them.

00:51:53.430 --> 00:51:58.170 align:middle line:84%
Employees in our STEM programs
worked hard over the summer

00:51:58.170 --> 00:52:02.970 align:middle line:84%
to assure our students could
still gain lab experiences.

00:52:02.970 --> 00:52:06.870 align:middle line:84%
Staff assembled lab kits,
equipment and supplies

00:52:06.870 --> 00:52:09.630 align:middle line:84%
to conduct safe
experiments from home,

00:52:09.630 --> 00:52:13.810 align:middle line:84%
and distributed them in
drive-through format on campus.

00:52:13.810 --> 00:52:20.430 align:middle line:84%
The Wignall Museum also showed us
that they can be very nimble.

00:52:20.430 --> 00:52:24.960 align:middle line:84%
They've already held
not one, but two online

00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:28.890 align:middle line:84%
exhibits to showcase the
work of our student artists.

00:52:28.890 --> 00:52:33.570 align:middle line:84%
This format gave our
students more exposure

00:52:33.570 --> 00:52:38.260 align:middle line:84%
than they normally would have
gotten in an in-person format.

00:52:38.260 --> 00:52:41.580 align:middle line:84%
Our Chaffey journalism
students did not

00:52:41.580 --> 00:52:46.290 align:middle line:84%
let COVID-19 stop them
from learning their trade.

00:52:46.290 --> 00:52:49.440 align:middle line:84%
Staff members from
The Breeze newspaper

00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:54.180 align:middle line:84%
worked with STEM summer interns
to learn about their research

00:52:54.180 --> 00:52:59.910 align:middle line:84%
projects and share them
with a general audience.

00:52:59.910 --> 00:53:04.860 align:middle line:84%
The Panther Care program
transformed its pantry

00:53:04.860 --> 00:53:09.300 align:middle line:84%
to a drive-thru format,
holding more than 20

00:53:09.300 --> 00:53:13.370 align:middle line:84%
at our three campuses
locations since April,

00:53:13.370 --> 00:53:17.880 align:middle line:90%
serving more than 650 students.

00:53:17.880 --> 00:53:20.490 align:middle line:84%
I remember seeing staff
in the rain, because it

00:53:20.490 --> 00:53:22.440 align:middle line:84%
does rain in
Southern California,

00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:28.330 align:middle line:84%
holding out bags of food to our
students who need it the most.

00:53:28.330 --> 00:53:31.560 align:middle line:84%
This is how we do things
at Chaffey College.

00:53:31.560 --> 00:53:36.043 align:middle line:84%
We do not let anything stop
us from serving our students.

00:53:36.043 --> 00:53:37.210 align:middle line:90%
We have a brand-new website.

00:53:37.210 --> 00:53:39.840 align:middle line:90%


00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:44.520 align:middle line:84%
I'll be honest, in my 13
years at Chaffey College,

00:53:44.520 --> 00:53:48.600 align:middle line:84%
I was not sure if
this day would come.

00:53:48.600 --> 00:53:50.790 align:middle line:90%
I'm so glad it has.

00:53:50.790 --> 00:53:57.330 align:middle line:84%
I know it's new and different,
but it looks 100% better,

00:53:57.330 --> 00:54:00.310 align:middle line:84%
and we'll get used
to it together.

00:54:00.310 --> 00:54:03.580 align:middle line:84%
I also want to thank our
leaders running our Safe Campus

00:54:03.580 --> 00:54:06.050 align:middle line:90%
Reopening workgroup--

00:54:06.050 --> 00:54:09.650 align:middle line:84%
Susan Hardie, Steve
Lux, Troy Ament.

00:54:09.650 --> 00:54:12.570 align:middle line:84%
They're working to get us
ready for our phased-in return

00:54:12.570 --> 00:54:13.710 align:middle line:90%
to campus.

00:54:13.710 --> 00:54:16.490 align:middle line:84%
Also, thank you,
Troy, and your staff

00:54:16.490 --> 00:54:20.370 align:middle line:84%
for working daily on our
campus to ensure operations

00:54:20.370 --> 00:54:22.070 align:middle line:90%
are running smoothly.

00:54:22.070 --> 00:54:27.120 align:middle line:84%
And last but not least, thank
you to our executive team--

00:54:27.120 --> 00:54:33.780 align:middle line:84%
Lisa Bailey, Laura Hope,
Melanie Siddiqi, Alisha Rosas,

00:54:33.780 --> 00:54:36.660 align:middle line:84%
and their respective
staff for their strategic

00:54:36.660 --> 00:54:42.540 align:middle line:84%
work to steer us through
these very difficult times.

00:54:42.540 --> 00:54:47.070 align:middle line:84%
While I love sharing good
news, there is no doubt that,

00:54:47.070 --> 00:54:51.550 align:middle line:84%
despite our efforts, that we
still have a long road ahead,

00:54:51.550 --> 00:54:55.770 align:middle line:84%
with many, many unknown
things before us.

00:54:55.770 --> 00:54:59.910 align:middle line:84%
The bad news is that we all know
we have some sacrifices that we

00:54:59.910 --> 00:55:04.950 align:middle line:84%
must make in the coming months
with the state's $54.6 billion

00:55:04.950 --> 00:55:06.060 align:middle line:90%
deficit.

00:55:06.060 --> 00:55:09.730 align:middle line:84%
And unlike the
recession in 2008,

00:55:09.730 --> 00:55:13.050 align:middle line:84%
students appear to be less
enthusiastic about using

00:55:13.050 --> 00:55:18.240 align:middle line:84%
this economic downturn to
get ahead in their studies,

00:55:18.240 --> 00:55:22.470 align:middle line:84%
judging by our current
fall enrollment numbers.

00:55:22.470 --> 00:55:25.830 align:middle line:84%
However, it is
important to recognize

00:55:25.830 --> 00:55:29.130 align:middle line:84%
that most of Chaffey's
programs, particularly

00:55:29.130 --> 00:55:32.490 align:middle line:84%
those that help our most
vulnerable students,

00:55:32.490 --> 00:55:38.370 align:middle line:84%
will remain at the
2019-2020 levels of support.

00:55:38.370 --> 00:55:41.120 align:middle line:84%
We need to continue
to work together

00:55:41.120 --> 00:55:43.170 align:middle line:84%
so that Chaffey
College can maintain

00:55:43.170 --> 00:55:46.150 align:middle line:84%
its high level of service,
as our students can

00:55:46.150 --> 00:55:51.300 align:middle line:84%
get the preparation they
need for the workforce.

00:55:51.300 --> 00:55:55.320 align:middle line:84%
This is more critical than
ever for our community's

00:55:55.320 --> 00:55:56.580 align:middle line:90%
economic health.

00:55:56.580 --> 00:56:00.470 align:middle line:84%
For us to manage the
good news with the bad,

00:56:00.470 --> 00:56:04.610 align:middle line:84%
we, again, have
to work together.

00:56:04.610 --> 00:56:10.260 align:middle line:84%
We need to remember, in order
for us to be forward thinkers,

00:56:10.260 --> 00:56:14.930 align:middle line:84%
we need to determine how we
can reach our future goals

00:56:14.930 --> 00:56:18.110 align:middle line:90%
from where we are currently.

00:56:18.110 --> 00:56:21.140 align:middle line:84%
We are stronger together,
Chaffey College.

00:56:21.140 --> 00:56:26.430 align:middle line:84%
2020 also brought to
the spotlight something

00:56:26.430 --> 00:56:32.770 align:middle line:84%
that is not new to any
of us, myself included.

00:56:32.770 --> 00:56:37.560 align:middle line:84%
Over the summer, an issue for
which I am passionate about

00:56:37.560 --> 00:56:39.860 align:middle line:90%
reached a boiling point.

00:56:39.860 --> 00:56:45.430 align:middle line:84%
The deaths of George Floyd,
Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery,

00:56:45.430 --> 00:56:48.880 align:middle line:84%
and others put this country's
treatment of civil rights

00:56:48.880 --> 00:56:49.810 align:middle line:90%
at center stage.

00:56:49.810 --> 00:56:53.110 align:middle line:90%


00:56:53.110 --> 00:56:55.660 align:middle line:84%
Given the current
circumstances, some

00:56:55.660 --> 00:57:00.550 align:middle line:84%
might say that those deaths and
resulting Black Lives Matters

00:57:00.550 --> 00:57:03.790 align:middle line:84%
protests and riots
could not have come

00:57:03.790 --> 00:57:07.000 align:middle line:90%
at a more unfortunate time.

00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:09.940 align:middle line:84%
But ensuring the
equity of all people

00:57:09.940 --> 00:57:14.620 align:middle line:84%
should never be a
matter of convenience.

00:57:14.620 --> 00:57:19.540 align:middle line:84%
We all need to play a role
in giving our students

00:57:19.540 --> 00:57:24.130 align:middle line:90%
a fair shake so that anyone--

00:57:24.130 --> 00:57:30.320 align:middle line:84%
anyone-- regardless of race,
gender, sexual orientation,

00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:35.470 align:middle line:84%
or country of origin
can achieve their dreams

00:57:35.470 --> 00:57:37.950 align:middle line:90%
through hard work and support.

00:57:37.950 --> 00:57:43.090 align:middle line:84%
The webinars that we have held
through the Center for Culture

00:57:43.090 --> 00:57:48.640 align:middle line:84%
and Social Justice to address
this and other equity issues

00:57:48.640 --> 00:57:51.880 align:middle line:84%
will continue
throughout the year.

00:57:51.880 --> 00:57:57.340 align:middle line:84%
And I encourage you to join
us as a show of support

00:57:57.340 --> 00:58:00.680 align:middle line:84%
and encouragement
for our students.

00:58:00.680 --> 00:58:05.420 align:middle line:84%
We need to show our students
that they belong in the Chaffey

00:58:05.420 --> 00:58:07.330 align:middle line:90%
College community.

00:58:07.330 --> 00:58:10.310 align:middle line:84%
Even though many are
working remotely,

00:58:10.310 --> 00:58:13.810 align:middle line:84%
they need to see our Zoom
sessions as safe spaces

00:58:13.810 --> 00:58:18.640 align:middle line:84%
where they can share and reflect
on how these experiences have

00:58:18.640 --> 00:58:20.656 align:middle line:90%
affected them.

00:58:20.656 --> 00:58:25.210 align:middle line:84%
It's through these
moments that we all grow.

00:58:25.210 --> 00:58:27.310 align:middle line:84%
And again, this
is something that

00:58:27.310 --> 00:58:31.630 align:middle line:90%
is powerful when done together.

00:58:31.630 --> 00:58:36.910 align:middle line:84%
If we stand together against
racism and injustice,

00:58:36.910 --> 00:58:40.000 align:middle line:84%
the greater the
chance for change.

00:58:40.000 --> 00:58:46.140 align:middle line:84%
If we are to attempt
to be forward-thinking,

00:58:46.140 --> 00:58:51.550 align:middle line:84%
I believe equity and
a sense of belonging

00:58:51.550 --> 00:58:55.920 align:middle line:84%
for all should be the
foundation for all

00:58:55.920 --> 00:58:58.410 align:middle line:90%
that we do at Chaffey College.

00:58:58.410 --> 00:59:01.570 align:middle line:90%


00:59:01.570 --> 00:59:05.980 align:middle line:84%
As this school year
starts, I encourage

00:59:05.980 --> 00:59:12.040 align:middle line:84%
you to try and connect yourself
to as many positive things as

00:59:12.040 --> 00:59:14.240 align:middle line:90%
possible.

00:59:14.240 --> 00:59:16.540 align:middle line:90%
I know these are trying times.

00:59:16.540 --> 00:59:19.600 align:middle line:84%
Remember the good
that is out there,

00:59:19.600 --> 00:59:22.600 align:middle line:90%
and align yourself there.

00:59:22.600 --> 00:59:25.330 align:middle line:84%
I know that sometimes
all the negative news

00:59:25.330 --> 00:59:29.370 align:middle line:90%
can be exhausting.

00:59:29.370 --> 00:59:34.650 align:middle line:84%
Find joy in connecting with
our beautiful students, who

00:59:34.650 --> 00:59:38.730 align:middle line:84%

generationally.

01:00:09.150 --> 01:00:11.670 align:middle line:84%
As the family members

see what education does and
tries it out for themselves,

01:00:17.850 --> 01:00:21.360 align:middle line:84%
this results in having
more educated people

01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:26.400 align:middle line:84%
having better jobs and
living better lives.

01:00:26.400 --> 01:00:29.400 align:middle line:84%
This, in turn, results
in better communities.

01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:32.370 align:middle line:84%

is the epitome

01:00:32.370 --> 01:00:36.390 align:middle line:84%
of being what
future-minded is all about.

01:00:36.390 --> 01:00:41.100 align:middle line:84%
What we do for our students
today impacts all of us

01:00:41.100 --> 01:00:42.840 align:middle line:90%
tomorrow.

01:00:42.840 --> 01:00:47.550 align:middle line:84%
