DISTRICT DESI G NATED OS H A TRAININ G PARTNERDistrict Named OSHA Training Institute Education CenterThe U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) namedthe Chabot-Las Positas Community College District one of eight new OSHA Training InstituteEducation Centers.“We are very excited and look forward to partnering with OSHA to provide training forconstruction and industry in northern California,” said Dr. Joel Kinnamon, district chancellor.“The Department of Labor was looking for an organization to fill critical training needs in theBay Area and Sacramento Regions. We were their ideal choice based on our extensive contracteducation department and our current relationship with business and industry clients.”The District became the only OSHA Training Institute Education Center in northern California.They will serve OSHA’s Region 9 which includes California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, Guam andAmerican Samoa.The CLPCCD OSHA Training Center staff recruited experienced safety instructors, created andrevised curriculum, and designed programs of study for students. Ten classes on six differenttopics were offered during 2008 as the program is being tooled for a very robust offering.Already, the 2009 schedule includes 85 classes covering 25 different topics.Expanding Opportunities40 7 - 0 8 d i s t r i c t a n n u a l r e p o rt
In partnership with the three other Region 9 OSHA Education Centers, CLPCCD’s OSHA TrainingCenter has become part of an Alliance with the Federal OSHA program. The partnership will allowboth the Centers and the federal program to leverage marketing, provide training as an alternativeto non-compliance fines, and co-host events that impact employee safety in the workplacethroughout the region.0 7 - 0 8 d i s t r i c t a n n u a l r e p o rt5
DISTRICT r e d u c e s WAST e 7 5 %Chabot and Las Positas Colleges Reduce Waste 75%and Will Generate Substantial Portion of Own PowerStudents at Chabot and Las Positas Colleges may not see or feel the environmentallyfriendly changes around them – but they’re there. With the passage of Measure B in 2004,college and district officials have taken major steps toward creating “green” campuses tosustain the environment for future generations.In 2005 the District Board of Trustees adopted a Sustainable Design Policy requiring allnew buildings constructed under the Measure B Bond, be minimum LEED Silver Certified.District and college faculty and staff took this even further and included sustainabilitymeasurements in almost every project on campus, including waste reduction.“We have established an extensive waste reduction program,” said Tim Nelson, directorof maintenance and operations. “Everything removed from campus is logged andcategorized, including food waste and recyclables. We also mulch green waste on-site,instead of paying to have it mulched at an off-campus location. We have reduced waste75% while generating cost savings for the district.”Waste reduction is just the beginning ofthe district’s efforts to reduce cost andenhance sustainability. When it comesto utility savings, the colleges are makinggreat strides in cost savings, while helpingto reduce the load on the state’s powergrid. Both colleges are building shadedparking structures with photovoltaic panelscapable of producing one megawatt ofelectricity that will satisfy approximately20% of current campus need. They are alsobuilding their own central utility plantswhich will help reduce overall energyconsumption. The plants will allow thecollege to load shift with significant utilityconsumption occurring at off peak times.From building roofs to heated pools,creative, cost-effective measures have beenput in place to work with the environment,instead of against it. “At Chabot College weburn natural gas to make our own electricity,almost 300 kilowatts. The waste heat is usedto heat our Olympic-sized pool for free,”said Doug Horner, construction projectmanager at Chabot College. In addition,60 7 - 0 8 d i s t r i c t a n n u a l r e p o rtboth colleges’ existing red roofs are beingreplaced with reflective white roofs withtwo inch insulation, designed to reduce heatgain and help insulate the buildings.Campus safety departments have alsoembraced energy efficiency. Securityofficers ride bikes on patrol and theirvehicles are hybrids, as are those of themaintenance and operations department.All of the district and college sustainabilitymeasures are in place to support effortsto obtain LEED certification on all newbuildings and renovations. “LEED Silvercertification is the minimum that we arestriving for,” said Jeffrey Kingston, vicechancellor of facilities and executivedirector of the Measure B constructionprogram. “We have achieved LEED Silveron new buildings at Las Positas College andwill do the same with our new buildings atChabot. One of our new goals is to reachLEED Gold on our new student servicesbuilding at Las Positas and on several otherupcoming projects.”
Last year, Chancellor Joel Kinnamon joinedmore than 500 other university and collegepresidents across the country as a signatory tothe American College & University PresidentsClimate Commitment. The Commitment wascreated by the organization as a pledge tomake colleges and universities carbon neutral.“As an educational institution it’s importantfor us to be leaders in the area of globalwarming, both in educating the public aboutits effects, as well as taking the lead in helpingto alleviate damage to our environment,” hesaid. “Our Board of Trustees, faculty, staffand students recognize this importance andare doing all they can to set the standard inour communities.”ExpandingAwareness0 7 - 0 8 d i s t r i c t a n n u a l r e p o rt7

Message from the Presidentchabot collegeCelia Barberena, Ph.D.PRESIDENTI have come to Hayward after many twists and turns in my career, which I believe haveenriched my experience. Over the past year I have learned how this exciting collegecontinues a steady pathway of innovation and advancement.Chabot employs excellent faculty and staff and many trained professionals who engageour students in selecting a field of study that is appropriate for their talents and aspirations,finding their niche in society and gathering the resources necessary to finance theireducation. In fact, the faculty and staff at Chabot have swept me off my feet because oftheir commitment to bring out excellence from all Chabot students. These professionalsbring life experiences that encourage and inspire; they demonstrate a deep caring attitudetowards our students and hold them in a closely knit community.Chabot is thriving as an exemplary center for teaching and learning. A year ago I made theright decision to come to Chabot College to lead an excellent institution and experiencethe rich diversity of the East Bay.100 7 - 0 8 d i s t r i c t a n n u a l r e p o rt

B OARD RECO G NI Z ES DARA J A PRO G RA MSystem Directors Recognize Chabot College ProgramThe Board of Governors of the CaliforniaCommunity Colleges recognized Chabot’sDaraja Program as an official statewideprogram and also recognized its statewidename change to Umoja Community, meaning“unity.” The Board passeda resolution supportingthe expansion of UmojaCommunity’seffortsto improve the successand retention of AfricanAmericans and otherstudents. A committee of Chabot Collegefaculty and staff has worked diligently tobuild relationships with other colleges andstatewide foundations, and continues to workwith five colleges statewide who are pilotingUmoja Community programs and services.They are supporting twenty other collegeswho are working towards starting UmojaCommunity programs.Continuing their efforts to combat the risingattrition rates of African American males atChabot College, a special community forthese young men called The Striving BlackBrother Coalition and Mentors Among Us,was formed. The group is a support systemdesigned to help African American malesunderstand their purpose in the collegiatearena and in life, by developing an authenticsense of self, committing to a purpose, andbuilding meaningful relationships with peers,family, and Chabot College faculty and staff,and being able to identify and use academic,mentoring, and campus resources.120 7 - 0 8 d i s t r i c t a n n u a l r e p o rtThe hope is that these interventions will assistmore African American males in accomplishingtheir goals of successfully graduating fromChabot College and transferring to four-yearcolleges and universities.A mentor program was created within middleand high schools and members have presentedmotivational workshops within the Haywardand Oakland communities. Students havetraveled to Southern California and the EastCoast visiting colleges and universities, hada breakfast meeting with U.S. Senator DianneFeinstein, toured the United States Capitol andthe White House, and have received academicscholarships for the 2008 school year.
chabot collegeLEAP AHEAD in MathDuring the summer the Chabot College math faculty launched a pilotmath workshop program to help students prepare for their fall mathcourses. The program incorporated the use of a web-based tutoringprogram called ALEKS – Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces.ALEKS begins with a diagnostic evaluation of the student’s strengths andweaknesses and provides a tailored program for the student to work onto address their deficiencies. With the diagnostic information providedby ALEKS, math faculty were able to support the students with moreindividualized instruction that was based on their identified needs. AChabot faculty member exclaimed, “It was wonderful to work withstudents on learning, not on finishing the course, or testing and grading.”The preliminary results of LEAP AHEAD suggest the possibility of anew model for teaching and learning developmental mathematics atChabot College.Dental Hygiene Students Score BigFor the fifth year in a row graduates of the Chabot College dentalhygiene program scored a 100% pass rate on the National DentalHygiene Board Examination.Students in the dental hygiene program provide high qualitypreventive oral healthcare services to over 1,500 communitymembers in the East Bay each year through the college’s DentalHygiene clinic. The low-cost services are offered to those inthe community who would not be able to receive care in thetraditional office setting due to lack of insurance, unemployment orlow income.0 7 - 0 8 d i s t r i c t a n n u a l r e p o rt13

PRO G RA M S O F E X CELLENCEThree Las Positas College Programs Recognizedfor ExcellenceThe Campaign for College Opportunity recognized Las Positas College by singling outthree programs as exceptional. In its Practices with Promise Report, the organizationanalyzed 120 programs and selected 15 from four-year, two-year and kindergarten through 12thgrade institutions in California that address issues of college access and success. Las Positaswas the only institution recognized for more than one program and was cited three times.T h e D e s i g n S h o pThe graphics program provides real-worldclients and their expectations, timelines, andexperience to students.

H e a d Sta rt o n C o l l e g eMore than 600 students from Tri-Valley area high schools and theRegional Occupation Program this year received credit for units atLas Positas College for classes they took while still in high school.Las Positas faculty and staff work with the high school instructors toensure that the high school courses provide the curriculum equivalentto entry-level classes as Las Positas. Once students pass the final examthe college will grant the students credit. Currently there are 20 coursesoffered in the high schools and the Regional Occupation Program thatprovide college credit as well as high school units.Las Positas provides the units with no fee and no residencyrequirement that would mandate students enroll at Las PositasCollege to receive the credit. High school students focused incertain career areas can earn as many as 15 units of credit at LasPositas during their high school career. That means one semesterless at Las Positas to earn a certificate and start on a career sixmonths earlier rather than starting at Las Positas without collegecredit. Classes range in subject areas from auto mechanics to earlychildhood education to a variety of computer-related fields.T h e I n t e g r at e d L e a r n i n g C e n t e rThe Center involves faculty from the English, math and English asa Second Language departments all working together to servethe students. The variety of disciplines cooperating in one center,focused on helping students improve, sets this approach apart fromthat offered at other institutions of higher learning.The Integrated Learning Center has several dynamics leading to itssuccess. One dynamic is a student driven approach to learning wherethe faculty members work directly with students on a lab hourattached to a math, English or English as a Second Language course.Another dynamic is the interdisciplinary learning that takes place inthe center. Students are aware of a “hub” of academic activity goingon around them and are made to feel comfortable asking questionsat any time.Faculty members are also learning at the same time. They learn moreabout other disciplines and can see different teaching techniquesat work.0 7 - 0 8 d i s t r i c t a n n u a l r e p o rt17
G r a n t t o S u p p o rt W o m e n i n t h e T r a d e sLas Positas College Received Grant to Support Womenin Welding and Automotive ProgramsLas Positas was one of four communitycolleges from California selected for TechProject, a grant sponsored by NationalInstitute for Women in Trades, Technology andScience. The four 2008 selections join fourother community colleges named last year.The Institute recently received a 2 milliongrant from the National Science Foundationto support colleges as they recruit and retainwomen. Through the grant, Las Positas andthe seven other colleges will receive freeintensive training and assistance focused onwomen in the trades.“The American Welding Society predictsa possible shortage of more than 200,000skilled welders by 2010. Our local AutomotiveAdvisory Board assures us there is a criticalregional shortage of qualified automotivetechnicians,” said Birgitte Ryslinge, the formerDean of Academic Services, VocationalEducation and Economic Development atLas Positas College. “Given this context, howcan we disregard 50 percent of the potentialworkforce by failing to recruit women?Increasingly these are high-wage, high-skillpositions which provide students with ameaningful career path,” she continued.180 7 - 0 8 d i s t r i c t a n n u a l r e p o rtThe career fields involved at Las Positas areautomotive and welding. The instructors wereinvited to a two-day training that helped themassist current female students and to promotemore women in the trades.“In recent years, Las Positas faculty have donesignificant outreach, and each semester at leasta few women have enrolled in automotive andwelding courses, where they do extremelywell. We are really looking forward to themore fully developed outreach and supportstrategies which this initiative will provide toLas Positas,” added Ryslinge.The Institute provides the tools to successfullyintegrate women into male-dominated careersthrough workshops, publications, products,e-strategies and technical assistance. It offersa full range of educational consulting andtraining services that will help Las Positasrecruit, train and retain female students in thetechnical programs offered.
