Message from the President
A new college year is underway. Fall semester has
brought changes, such as the move of the Aviation
Maintenance Technology program from Hollister
to a temporary location at the Gilroy campus. The new location seems
to be appealing to students, who have filled the AMT classes. We also
celebrate completion of the Measure E remodeling for the cosmetol-
ogy and business buildings, and the return of those programs to their
new and improved locations. The final Measure E-funded campus
project is now underway with the renovation of the Social Sciences
building.
We continue to evaluate alternatives to expand instructional space in
Hollister, so that we may gain Educational Center status (and fund-
ing) for campus development.
Fall classes are full, but slightly fewer, due to the state-mandated
elimination of noncredit activity classes for older adults. We are still
serving more students than are being funded by the state overall, and
will have to adjust the Spring class schedule to reflect this funding
reality. Faculty are working hard to maintain a wide selection of
classes and sections which are most needed by students.
Although we are still awaiting a state budget for the current fiscal
year, we are pleased to report that the 2009-2010 Gavilan College
budget closed with a surplus, rather than the deficit that was project-
ed. With the uncertainty still surrounding the current year’s budget
we may have to make additional cuts to achieve a balanced budget for
2010-2011. The good news is we have options that will protect servic-
es to students and employees’ jobs. In addition, several grant applica-
tions have been submitted which could make up the difference. We
will continue to evaluate each vacant position to determine whether
or not it should be filled – however, we are in a strong enough posi-
tion to lift the “hiring freeze” that was in effect last year.
Our priority is student success. Gavilan College is part of the California
Alliance for Student Success (CLASS), a commitment by twelve se-
lected colleges. The focus is identifying strategies for keeping students
in the classroom and helping them graduate. This summer we looked
at what colleges have done to bring successful programs out of the
pilot stage to implementation across the college. Gavilan College has
formed a Learning Council of faculty, administrators and professional
support staff to institutionalize a commitment to success. As the year
unfolds, you can expect to hear more about CLASS and the Student
Success Initiative.
