CHANCELLOR’S C-DIRECT October 25, 2017 Dear Colleagues: The District collaborated with Civic Pride to put on a fine show for students from throughout the East Bay who met at Laney College last Saturday. Our recruitment teams were present and so were educators from throughout the area, including superintendents from Emeryville and San Lorenzo. They were part of a panel that included President Burns, President Gilkerson and me. There were different panels, including one with Freedom Center Executive Director Roy Wilson. The event was sponsored by our four Colleges. Presidents Tomaneng and Gilkerson were on the planning committee. President Karas was in attendance and gave his support. Support For Fire Victims Connected to Peralta We have not forgotten our neighbors who went through the horrible fire. I have been in contact with some of my CEO colleagues, who were advised of the offer support Peralta can provide. So far, there is not much needed from us. We do have some of our Peralta colleagues who have incurred losses during the fire. If you know of any Peralta employee or student who needs help, please let me or Mary Denise Jackson know. The Peralta Federation of Teachers has set aside some funds to support its members. Please refer faculty in need to the President of PFT, Dr. Jennifer Shanoski. We are contemplating a fundraising activity; but until we get there, please let us know what emergency you or a colleague or a student may be experiencing. Peralta cares!
