COVERING MARCH 2024

A Message from Superintendent/

Henry D. Shannon

Dear Chaffey College and Community Members,

Spring is here! I trust that you have adapted to daylight savings time and are enjoying the longer days and warmer weather. This is the time of year when things are kicked into high gear at Chaffey College with the start of our Fast Track II session and packed calendar of events.

March was full of celebratory moments as we commemorated Women’s History Month with a panel of inspirational Chaffey women, a preventative healthcare event and a screening of “Barbie.” Thank you to the Chaffey women who make our community stronger and futures brighter.

Also this month, we celebrated the hard work and dedication of our classified professionals during Classified Appreciation Week. Our inaugural “Classified Cup” included a tournament series, recognition ceremony and the awarding of the golden trophy to “Team Superstars.” Each year we strive to make Classified Appreciation Week special to show our gratitude for the contributions made by so many hard-working individuals. Thank you for all you do for our students!

Hundreds attended a job fair this month on the Rancho Cucamonga campus that was hosted by Chaffey’s Business & Entrepreneurship Club. Students and community members got direct access to 30 organizations to learn about potential employment opportunities and resources. I look forward to seeing more of these opportunities hosted at Chaffey in the future!

Up ahead, we are looking forward to welcoming prospective students and families to our Open House events at each of our campuses on April 13, 22, and 25. This is an opportunity to discover Chaffey programs and get to know our vibrant community. Chaffey College Open House RSVP.

I always look forward to new productions put on by our Theatre Department. I invite you to come see a contemporary comedic spin on the classic story of Don Juan with “Juanita’s Statue” April 11-14. Tickets can be purchased here.

Another exciting moment in April will be our 2024 Alumni Panel taking place April 11 on the Rancho Cucamonga campus. Come learn what our celebrated and successful alumni are up to – Alumni Leadership Panel RSVP Form.

Go Panthers!

Henry D. Shannon, Ph.D.
