Celebrating Classified Professionals Week

March 16, 2026

Dear Chaffey Classified Professionals,

I feel honored to work with such a talented and dedicated team here at Chaffey College, and you are such an important part of this team.

Many of our Classified Professionals serve on the frontlines, making sure our students get the resources and support they need. You include librarians issuing Chromebooks and WiFi hotspots, admissions workers helping our Panthers register, get financial aid and education plans, or program assistants and coordinators preparing labs and other learning spaces for impactful lessons and activities.

You also serve behind the scenes setting up lighting, sound and visuals for our theatre arts, art and music departments, loading and unloading food boxes for our in-need students and ensuring our college runs smoothly and safely come rain or shine.

And while there are many more areas I could highlight, I want to emphasize that all of you play an important role here. Whether you meet students face to face, or impact them indirectly, we consider you and your hard work invaluable to the success of Chaffey College.

Classified Professionals Week starts today in celebration of all that you do for Chaffey.

We look forward to seeing you this week at our various “You Are the Star” events. Please check out the attached schedule to learn more.

Sincerely,

Henry D. Shannon, Ph.D.
Superintendent/President
