the power of perseverance At Hartnell College, we take pride in our students. For many, the road to completion is not easy and for some, life changes and obstacles get in the way. Nonetheless, it is in these times of struggles that some rise higher than they even knew possible. LOUIS ROMERO WILL GO THE DISTANCE Such is the case of Louis Romero, married to his high school sweetheart Angel with whom he has three children: Oscar (10), Arianna (7), and Sofia (3). In May 2018, he will graduate with associate degrees in science in engineering, science in physics, science in mathematics, and a certificate in Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum. “My dream is to earn a career to retirement at IBM and teach a class every now and then,” says Romero. He hopes to earn acceptance into either UC Berkeley, UCLA, or Cal Poly for electrical engineering and computer science, computer science and engineering, or computer engineering, respectively, to start fall 2018. These achievements are particularly special to him and his family because they have overcome serious obstacles. “My son was born with one lung, missing two ribs, a heart murmur and acute scoliosis,” shared Louis.

“Throughout my college career, my wife and I have tended to this matter in addition to finding a stable home, job opportunities and economic uncertainty.” His desire to obtain a college education and support his family have always been at the top of his list. Thus, he embraced his obstacles and decided to overcome each of them in order to make a path towards academia. Due to the obstacles in his life, his time at Hartnell has been extended for a few years. But now the road to completion is at arms’ reach. Academic year 2017-18 will be his last year at Hartnell, where he will be graduating with not one, but three associate degrees and one certificate. This year, he led Hartnell’s Math Club as president, doing great things for the campus and the community at large. Under his leadership, the club provided outreach

opportunities at the California International Airshow, Family Science Day, and Bay View Academy. He is also involved with MESA and the STEM Internship program. Such participation has allowed him to land an internship in the Harvard SEAS Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU). At Harvard, Louis was mentored in nanofabrication techniques and applied his computer science skills to assist in building, testing and evaluating a thin-film transistor. He participated in weekly faculty-led seminars, multimedia and public outreach training, various outreach opportunities, graduate school and career workshops, networking events, an REU seminar and a symposium. This opportunity at Harvard University was made possible thanks to his involvement with STEM clubs, faculty and industry partners. He also has received invitations to present at

national conferences to broaden his skill set, enhance his public speaking skills and meet with university representatives. In fact, Louis met his Harvard colleagues at a SACNAS National Diversity in STEM Conference in Washington D.C.

told me that he became successful by simply working hard,” added Romero. “This is great advice that I wish to share with each student on campus, but I would like to add that it is also good to not spread yourself so thin, to know your own limits, and if you fail, try again.”

“Hartnell’s program provided me opportunity to gain the knowledge and build the necessary skills to be successful in applying to Harvard’s program,” Romero said. Louis has a passion for learning and the desire to be successful. His passion is his family. He says that his wife and children deserve so much more, and he wants to set a positive example for them and be the role model they deserve. He longs to instill in his children a strong work ethic for them to come to the realization that so long as they put their mind to it, anything is possible. “A brilliant teacher taught me to never let anyone outwork me; another successful man

Along the way, his mother and father have been there for him and his family to support their every effort. “Success is not an accident,” said Romero. “I have been working hard at it, but it would not have been possible without the continued support of my family, Hartnell faculty, staff, external partners and my peers.” 3

MILE: MEN’S INSTITUTE FOR LEADERSHIP & EDUCATION The Men’s Institute for Leadership & Education (MILE) program graduated its first cohort of male scholars in 2017. MILE is designed to increase the leadership skills and college completion rates of male students at Hartnell College, and was developed in collaboration with local male community leaders who form the MILE Steering Group and have connections to local

businesses and employment opportunities. Following a competitive application process, 25 male scholars are selected to participate in the year-long program. Once the cohort is selected, the scholars participate in a Summer Leadership Program. The Summer Leadership Program focuses on skills such as emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, time management and stress management. Students are paired with trained male mentors who are local professionals. MILE scholars also receive intensive academic counseling and support services, such as

textbook lending and laptop lending. Each of the scholars receives a scholarship upon successful completion of the program. The program has had a positive impact on its participants. Gerald MacAreg states, “The MILE Program is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Without this program, I would not have been able to unlock my potential and work towards being the best that I can be.” MILE engages Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, and Advancement as partners in the program through the Steering Group, as mentors, and as funders.

The oldest of three, Nelida grew up with a deep appreciation for family and community. Her love of people led her to her goal of earning her doctoral degree in psychiatry so that she can help others who are struggling with cognitive and mental health challenges. Nelida has had her own challenges as a low-income single mother of two toddlers; however, she has never let that stop her from pursuing her dreams.

Her outstanding work ethic and servant leadership have brought her success inside and outside of the classroom. Prior to being elected the president of the Associated Students of Hartnell College in the spring of 2017, Nelida was already serving her fellow students as the director of programs and services. Through the support of the Women’s Education &

Mi CASA supports Dreamer students in achieving their educational goals.

MI CASA: HARTNELL’S CENTER FOR ACHIEVEMENT AND STUDENT ADVANCEMENT In collaboration with college and community partners, Mi CASA supports AB540/DACA/ Undocumented “Dreamer” students in achieving their educational and personal goals through direct services, advocacy, and opportunities for student leadership and engagement. In 2016-17, students benefited from new student support services, such as a textbook lending library, DACA renewal services and Dreamer-specific scholarships for the first time in the history of Hartnell College. The Mi CASA student ambassadors successfully launched the Defending the Right to Educational Attainment Matters (DREAM) club in fall 2016. The goal of the club is to bring awareness to promote access, opportunity and inclusivity for Dreamer students. In January 2017, the club officers successfully petitioned the Hartnell College Board of Trustees to develop a resolution in support of undocumented students which was passed unanimously. In order to increase campus-wide support for Dreamer students, three professional development workshops were offered to Dreamer allies seeking to expand their knowledge of the student experience as well as current policies and practices that affect Dreamer Students. Mi CASA counselors also implemented specific strategies to increase transfer rates for Dreamer students at Hartnell. Dreamer-specific scholarship workshops, Dream Act Application workshops, and transfer workshops were all provided. 13

BOARD VOTES IN FAVOR OF RESOLUTION 17:3 IN SUPPORT OF UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS At its regular meeting on February 7, 2017, the Hartnell Community College District (HCCD) Board of Trustees adopted Resolution 17:3 – In Support of Undocumented Students and Affirming the Privacy of Student Records. This resolution proclaims the values of Hartnell College in supporting undocumented students and also affirms that the district will protect the privacy of education records for all students regardless of immigration status and consistent with existing laws. President of the HCCD Board of Trustees Manuel M. Osorio shared, “It is our intent to ensure that the delivery of education provided by Hartnell College is not compromised in any

“

way. The board will do whatever is necessary to remain unwavering in our commitment to the people of our local community.” Hartnell enrolled 880 “Dreamer” students in 2016-17 academic year. This represents a 149 percent increase over five years. What this data represents is that Hartnell is a welcoming and inclusive place where students enroll because they feel safe and know that Hartnell employees are focused on their success. Consistent with its values, Hartnell College is committed to diversity, inclusion and equity that has led to impressive achievements and outcomes for our students. We will protect the privacy of education records of all students; we will not be deterred from our relentless pursuit of success for them.

The Board of Trustees unanimously adopted a resolution to support a safe place for undocumented students, and the district will take every means possible to protect the privacy rights of all its students. MANUEL M. OSORIO, PRESIDENT, HCCD BOARD OF TRUSTEES

2016-17 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

On May 10, 2017, Hartnell welcomed 200 Gonzales Unified School District fourth graders to campus for the annual Panther Cub Day series. This yearly tradition is part of the collaboration with the Monterey County College Challenge (M3C), and its main purpose is to encourage young people to attend college. Throughout the school year, these fourth graders have received career and college exploration instruction, and Panther Cub Day serves as the culminating event. During their visit, the future Panthers enjoyed a special performance by theater and cinema students.

The lively skits covered topics such as financing college, diversity of course offerings, and gave the young students an opportunity to share what they want to be when they grow up. The youngsters shared their goals of becoming dentists, veterinarians, teachers and police officers. In addition, they learned about the exciting aspects of science through a demonstration by Tito Polo from the Physics department. This powerful presentation had them in awe over how fun science can be. They enjoyed a tour of the campus and met with students in different departments.

7 STEPS TO SUCCESS Hartnell College established a College Pathways program that works collaboratively with our partners to deliver college preparation services at their sites well in advance of a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrollment. Outlining these steps in sequential order has helped Hartnell College communicate the steps to students and our high school and community partners. Marketing has occurred at our local malls, including food courts and movie theaters, and on television and radio. Visit: hartnell.edu/registration-steps

OUTSTANDING TRIO PROGRAM STUDENT: XIAOJIE FENG Hartnell College’s TRIO Program student Xiaojie Feng’s story is one of overcoming great odds to improve her family’s life through education. Born and raised in Shanghai in the People’s Republic of China in 1983, her parents were factory workers. The opportunities for women from low-income families to develop themselves in China are very limited. However, Xiaojie never gave up on her dreams and immigrated to the United States with her husband and two daughters in 2014. In just two years at Hartnell College, 2015-2017, Xiaojie earned a 4.0 GPA every semester and she made the President’s List each semester. She was named a valedictorian for the Hartnell College graduating class of 2017. She worked very hard and she was accepted to many universities. Xiaojie applied for and won the $20,000 Jack and Peggy Baskin Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship. Xiaojie chose UC Berkeley and is now attending the Haas Business School.

COLLEGE VISITS On March 24, 2017, a group of 40 students attended a field trip to Fresno State University. Among the students who participated were members of the EOPS, TRiO, MESA, Mi CASA and DSPS programs. Students were greeted by the Fresno State Dream Outreach Center, which facilitated a review of the transfer admission application process, a student panel with emphasis on student life (including discussion on majors and careers), and a campus tour that included all the special student support programs available as transfer students. It was a positive experience for all participants. This field trip was one of four university field trips coordinated by the Transfer and Career Center for the 201617 academic year, with funding from the Student Equity Program. Hartnell takes pride in providing these types of university visit opportunities to encourage transfer among the student body.

OSCAR THE PANTHER ADVENTURES

The Hartnell College Mascot, Oscar, visited the Child Development Center, the Foundation and different parts of the campus to share some cheer with those he encounters. This is part of spreading the Panther spirit throughout the district.

MANUSCRIPT PUBLISHED BY GENOMICS WORKSHOP STUDENTS On February 11, 2017, twenty-nine (29) Hartnell College students filled the molecular biology laboratory in the new STEM Center Building to participate in a daylong genomics workshop. The workshop was led by biology instructor Dr. Jeffery Hughey, assisted by Dr. Ga Hun Boo from UC Berkeley, and by Hugheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former intern and Hartnell student Diana Tamayo. Using DNA from a marine fish, the black prickle back, students were trained on how to assemble genomic data, map DNA sequence data, annotate genes, and perform a phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial genomes. The students are currently tasked with writing a manuscript that details the results of the genetic analysis. The manuscripts were submitted and have successfully been published by the journal Mitochondrial DNA Part B: Resources. Congratulations!

MELISSA CHIN-PARKER’S STAR SHINES BRIGHT If you have had the pleasure of enjoying a play at The Western Stage, chances are good that Melissa Chin-Parker is partly responsible for getting you there. Melissa has been a guiding light at The Western Stage for more than 20 years. Now its artistic program director, she is responsible for creating and maintaining the special programs of classes, workshops and performances that foster dialogue, help young people find their artistic voice, and inspire strangers to trust each other as they embark on journeys of discovery through theater. Her personal philosophy of inclusion and her dedication to excellence and integrity has helped to create a theater company that presents universal human stories that are relevant to and reflective of the complex, multicultural, multi-generational world around us. “I do anything and everything I can to help others present their best selves and their very best work,” says Melissa. And for this, she was honored as the 2017 Champions of the Arts Luminary by the Arts Council for Monterey County. At Hartnell, Melissa uses her great gifts of compassion and creativity on the Diversity Committee, where she has coordinated campus-wide events like the NEA Big Read book club and author talkbacks, showing that theater is a perfect partner in the pursuit of community.

FACULTY SPOTLIGHT: ANDY WATT, SOFTBALL COACH For 27 years, Andy Watt has worked at Hartnell College as a football and softball coach. Before coming to Hartnell, he worked at De Anza College, San Jose State, Bellflower High School and Gilroy High School. For football, he coached in ten bowl games, nine in community college, and a California Bowl victory while coaching at San Jose State. In softball, he had five post appearances using local players and was a volunteer for the local Y.M.C.A. “For the last 27 years, my family and I volunteered for summer tennis and softball camps at Hartnell,” shared Watt. “I also volunteered for Salinas’ First Tee, mainly on the golf course but I was willing to help and contribute in anyway needed.” Andy Watt was on the Board for the Salinas Valley Jr. Golf Association for 20 years helping our youth at tournaments, raising money, and being a member of the scholarship committee. For him, it is a privilege serving the community. “In the 27 years I have known Andy, I have never met a person that is more caring, giving, and unselfish. He will go out of his way to give assistance to anyone in need of help. That’s just who Andy is,” said Dan Teresa, Director of Athletics.

LUCY SERRANO: THE HEART OF HARTNELL

Lucy Serrano is honored with Heart of Hartnell award. LUNCH WITH EMPLOYEES: A MONTHLY TRADITION Superintendent/President Dr. Willard Lewallen has created a tradition with employees. Each month he randomly selects 15-20 employees to join him for lunch. This is an agenda-free gathering that proves to be informative and eye opening each time. It also helps employees get better acquainted with what is happening districtwide and to also meet employees from different areas on campus. Each month the group consists of faculty, staff, and administrators.

2016-17 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

If you want to know anything about Hartnell— from its history to how things really get done— conventional wisdom has it that you should go to the president’s office to ask Lucy. Lucy Serrano is a senior executive assistant for the superintendent/president and Board of Trustees, and she’s been passionate about her work at Hartnell for nearly four decades. Why? “The students,” she says, “and the whole environment that puts students first.” Lucy started as a student worker at Hartnell in 1977, and has made a career out of providing valuable support to Hartnell students in student services, academic affairs, and now the president’s office. Lucy’s love for Hartnell is something of a family affair. Her mother, Mercy Arias, retired from Hartnell in 2000. Both of her children began as student workers. Her son, Ramon, now works in Hartnell’s library, while her daughter, Angela, returns to work for Hartnell’s Foster and Kinship Care program when she is home on break from the University of California, Berkeley. Lucy’s husband, Ramon, studied horticulture here, and even her sister Dolores was a Hartnell employee. Truly, though, Lucy creates a family out of friends wherever she goes. In honor of her generous spirit and supreme competence and dedication, she was honored with a Heart of Hartnell Award in 2016, in recognition of being the confidential employee who best exemplifies the values of Hartnell.

INNOVATION AWARDS SPUR CREATIVITY The Employee Innovation Grant Program awards funds for up to five projects a year. Each award provides up to $3,500 to faculty or staff to research, plan, pilot and evaluate short-term, innovative projects that facilitate an original approach to an issue in academic or service areas that will positively impact student success.

In 2016-17, four of the five awards went to a team of faculty to create a coordinated set of activities to address the improvement of aesthetics analysis and application. It was one of the core competencies that Hartnell has identified that its students will master, but that ranked lowest on attainment in a 2016 survey of graduates. In their four Aesthetics Across the Curriculum projects, the faculty team: (1) produced videos highlighting the role of aesthetics in discipline-specific contexts; (2) created a hallway museum with student artists; (3) created a guest lecture series on

aesthetics; and (4) provided workshops for faculty to spur creativity on how to incorporate aesthetics awareness into their teaching. The participation of faculty from different disciplines — Eric Bosler in photography and art, Dr. Ann Wright in biology, Lawrence Yee in chemistry, Jerri Nemiro in digital art, Cheryl O’Donnell in computer science and information systems, and Dan Petersen in English — was itself an innovation.

HARTNELL CARES: EMPLOYEES FOR STUDENT SUCCESS CAMPAIGN On March 21, 2017, the Hartnell College Foundation celebrated the amazing results of the Employees for Student Success 2017 Campaign. The committee set out an ambitious goal of $100,000 in payroll deductions or check donations from Hartnell employees, plus a desire to secure 200 employee donors for 2017. At the presentation and celebration of this important campaign, VP of Advancement and Development Jackie Cruz shared in the importance of this annual campaign. The money goes directly to student scholarships, programs and an emergency scholarship fund. Two students were there to give testimony of the transformative nature of employee giving. WELI Scholar Araceli Anaya and MILE Scholar Israel Perez both shared how much they appreciate employee giving and how it has affected their lives. They spoke of opportunity and engagement that they would not have received without the special programs and scholarships funded by the college and supported by employees.

For the last four years, Laura Fatuzzo has been the only full-time faculty in Hartnell’s Physics Program. During this time she has had student success as her guiding focus. She works to get students actively engaged with the complicated physics content and each other — using group quizzes, online check-in tools, etc. She ensures students feel comfortable asking questions, even in our largest lecture halls holding over 100 students. Three key programs for which Laura has been a leader include: • Early Support Program: Identifying and providing support services to students facing academic, financial and/or personal challenges. • Habits of the Mind: Developing student skills to improve performance under challenging conditions that demand strategic reasoning, insightfulness, perseverance, creativity and craftsmanship to resolve complex problems. • Math Academy: A pre-term bridge program in which students learn to study math efficiently, prepare effectively for math exams, and acquire the skills and the confidence that will help them succeed at Hartnell College. A recent student stated, “Ms. Fatuzzo is a very good teacher. She makes an effort to help every student and finds resources to help them. She is very caring and loves teaching.” 25

strategic plan

Next strategic plan focuses on student success.

FOCUSING ON STUDENT SUCCESS The process to develop Strategic Plan 20192024 was formally initiated in 2017. The plan will focus on student success and achievement.

The content of the plan will be finalized in the 2018-2019 academic year, and the plan will be launched in the 2019-2020 academic year.

The outcomes are aligned with the Chancellor’s Office’s recently established strategic plan for California community colleges, titled Vision for Success. A critically important aim is to reduce the amount of time and units that students are taking to complete their degree; all college divisions have a significant role to play in achieving this result.

Hartnell has made incredible progress over the past several years — now we begin to set our sights on reaching the next level of greatness.

The governing board approved a set of four core outcomes to serve as the foundation for building the plan: 1. Completion of Degrees and Certificates 2. Time and Units to Degree Completion 3. Transfer to Four-Year Institutions 4. Student Employment Following Training or Degree/Certificate Completion

Salinas Valley Adult Education Consortium HARTNELL ENGAGES IN REGIONAL COLLABORATION TO IMPROVE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADULTS Hartnell College is host to the new Salinas Valley Adult Education Consortium (SVAEC), which works to improve and expand accessible education, training and support services that help adults reach their goals. These goals include improving English language skills, obtaining a high school equivalency diploma, developing general workforce readiness skills, preparing for college success, and training for careers that may lead to higher wages and economic mobility. Hartnell collaborates with fellow consortium members – the five regional adult schools and the Monterey County Office of Education – and other community partners, like the public 32

2016-17 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

libraries and Monterey County Workforce Development Board, to create viable college and career pathways that meet community and industry needs. The key services Hartnell provides for nontraditional adult students are instruction in basic skills (math, English, digital), English as a second language, high school equivalency through HEP and career technical education. Hartnell also strives to provide essential support services like customized outreach, transition and academic support. Since joining the SVAEC, Hartnell has developed a number of innovative services, including a bilingual computer literacy series,

a pilot building trades prep course, mobilebased basic skills support for CTE students, an ESL bridge experience, and a counselor/learning disabilities specialist for all three Hartnell campuses and the consortium. The college is creating pathways for every type of student and every type of goal: degree completion and transfer, short-term certificates and industry certifications, and/ or improved skills that can lead to improved earning capacity and socio-economic status, increased community engagement and civic participation, more involvement in their children’s education, and a brighter future for them and their families.

SVAEC STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: VIRGINIA RAMIREZ For many adults who did not finish high school, returning to school feels like an impossible dream, particularly for those who are parents. But it is possible to return, persist and succeed, and Virginia Ramirez is proof.

“

When I went to that first class at the adult school, I felt like I crossed a threshold, from the darkness into the light. VIRGINIA RAMIREZ, STUDENT

Three years ago Virginia enrolled in a High School Equivalency class at the Salinas Adult School, and with hard work was able to get her HSE within six months. She had not considered college an option for herself, but she was encouraged by her instructor at the Adult School to explore the possibility and dream big. At his urging, Virginia attended a workshop held at the adult school about the Hartnell College Steps to Success, and she connected with College Pathways Coordinator Laura Zavala. Laura urged Virginia to register at Hartnell and helped her navigate the process. She was also inspired along the way by Hartnell faculty like Dr. Hortencia Jimenez and Hermelinda Rocha-Tabera. Less than two years later, Virginia is a successful full-time Hartnell student with a 3.6 GPA and plans to graduate with her AA in political science. Virginia’s dedication, passion, and intelligence are making her dreams a reality. She has faced many barriers and challenges: academic, socio-economic and personal. She is an immigrant, an English language learner, a Dreamer, a first-generation college student and a parent. She had come to the United States at age 11, and once she learned English, she performed well in school, but dropped out at age 17. She did not have very much support from her family when she decided to return to school at age 27, and she saw many classmates who were her age or older who did not persist. Virginia says it felt a bit strange to be in class with students so much younger,

but through her struggles she has gained strength and confidence to move forward as she overcomes each barrier. She is also motivated by a desire to help her community by becoming an immigration lawyer. “I want to help people who are in a position without resources to get the help they need,” says Virginia. “They don’t know their rights, and I can relate because I am an immigrant, too; I know the struggles. I want to make a difference in their lives.” In addition to helping her community, Virginia also wants to be a role model for her two daughters. One day her oldest daughter came home and told her how proud she is of her – she was one of only four children in her class who raised their hands when asked if their parents had gone to college. “Education is more valuable than money; money can be lost, but no one can take away your education.” Virginia also serves as a role model for her peers by regularly visiting the adult school and encouraging students to persevere and go to college. Many of them do not think it’s possible, she says, “but the barriers make the education even more valuable, when it doesn’t come easily. The extra work makes it worth it.” Virginia applied to several universities. She just got accepted to Santa Clara University and received the Hurtado Scholarship for $20,000 per year. The University is paying for all her educational expenses. Hartnell College is proud of her resiliency! 33

HARTNELL COLLEGE VOTED BEST AG EDUCATOR — AGAIN!

AG TECH SUMMIT: DRAWS RECORD NUMBER OF GUESTS TO ALISAL CAMPUS On April 12, 2017, Hartnell College Agricultural Business and Technology Institute hosted the Fourth Annual Salinas Valley Ag Tech Summit at the Alisal Campus. The day-long event was free and open to the public. This year’s tagline and theme was “where real tech meets real ag.” The summit is meant to connect and showcase the latest

2016-17 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

For the third year in a row, Hartnell College is voted ‘Best Ag Educator’ in the Central Coast by readers of the Monterey County Weekly. This is a great honor. The Agriculture Business and Technology Institute took off a few years ago, and it shows. The win could be attributed to the comprehensive curriculum the college offers for both the business and technological side of the complex industry. Hartnell offers multiple technology and mechanical certifications in the ag-tech programs, and degrees in agricultural food safety; in addition, more partnerships are in the works with CSU Monterey Bay’s agricultural science program to open up more opportunities for the students.

technologies and trends in the industry to farmers, entrepreneurs and investors in the ag tech sector. At the same time, the event also intends to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in agriculture technology, security and safety. This year’s Summit made history, drawing about 750 attendees — almost double compared to last year. Many of the guests were members of the agriculture industry, ag students, Hartnell staff and entrepreneurs. Keynote speakers of the day were: Bob Grey,

formerly with California Ag Leadership; and Glenda Humiston, vice president of the University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Emcee for this summit was Dennis Donohue. Hartnell College would like to acknowledge and praise the work and effort of the community to organize the event. Special thanks to lead organizer, City Councilman Steve McShane and presenting sponsor, the City of Salinas. The exhibitors were a hit! Hartnell is proud to be a part of the region’s efforts to expand ag tech through leadership and innovation.

agriculture Hartnell College was part of a delegation to Yuma, Arizona, to serve as the lunch keynote panel for the Southwest Agriculture Summit. The delegation included Superintendent/President Dr. Willard Lewallen; Hartnell’s VP of Advancement and Development Jacqueline Cruz; Driscoll’s Director of Community and Grower Relations Emmett Linder (also a member of the Hartnell Foundation Board and the Ag Steering Committee); APIO Inc. Procurement Manager José Ramón (a graduate of Hartnell Ag Institute); and Director of Hartnell’s Agricultural Business and Technology Institute Dr. Susan Pheasant. Hartnell was invited by Yuma Fresh Vegetable Association Director Bruce Gwynn. Bruce was extremely inspired after he viewed the Hartnell video in which José Ramón shared his personal story in pursuing a formal education and a career in agriculture, as well as Hartnell’s commitment to agriculture being one of its three pillars, and the foundation-private-public partnerships that developed the Alisal campus and created the Ag Institute. Bruce tasked

PARTNERSHIPS THAT CREATE A STRONG WORKFORCE FOR THE DYNAMIC AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY Hartnell with sharing the vision, challenges and lessons learned through a systematic process of building the Agricultural Business & Technology Institute (known for the Western Food Safety Summit, the first food safety certificate focused on fresh produce in California and home to over 1,500 agricultural students) and the Hartnell’s CSin3 bachelor’s degree in collaboration with CSU Monterey Bay. While there, Hartnell representatives enjoyed the opportunity to meet with Dr. Daniel P. Corr, president of Arizona Western College (AWC). Dr. Corr and Dr. Lewallen commented on the number of similarities that the two colleges share: three campus sites, broad geographic area to service effectively, economically challenged students, focus on career technical education, adopting solar technology, etc. AWC currently serves about 5,000 FTES (full-time equivalent students) with a budget of $50 million. It is the only community college in Arizona with all three state universities – Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona – on campus. Much of their career technical

education (CTE) focuses on allied health, public safety, construction, and culinary. We look forward to exploring potential collaborations with Dr. Corr and his team to address the academic goals of our students who call both the Salinas Valley and Yuma, Arizona, home, due to the seasonality of fresh fruit and vegetable production. The Southwest Ag Summit, under the leadership of the Yuma Fresh Vegetable Association, originated in 2007 and has become an example of strong partnerships within the agriculture industry. The success of the summit has always been a byproduct of side-by-side collaboration among agriculture industry leaders, university research, teaching and extension. Their vision is to create a Southwest Agricultural Summit that will not only bring knowledge and innovation to agriculture in the desert regions but one that will continue to make their area known throughout the world for the quality products that are grown in southwest Arizona.

HARTNELL STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION In 2016, the California Governor and Legislature approved the Strong Workforce Program, adding a new annual recurring investment of $200 million to spur career technical education (CTE) in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest workforce development system of 114 colleges. This leading-edge state economic development program is intended to increase the number of students enrolled in programs leading to high-demand, high-wage jobs and fund improved program quality. Hartnell CTE programs will use funds to increase the number of students completing CTE programs to obtain employment and improving their earnings. The goal of the Strong Workforce Program is to create one million more middle-skill workers for the State of California. With Strong Workforce dollars, Hartnell hired faculty and purchased equipment for the Emergency Medical Technician, Automotive and Diesel Technology programs.

SOLEDAD PRISON: INMATES GET A SECOND CHANCE AT OBTAINING A DEGREE

CSIN3 SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS BANQUET

The college’s rehabilitative education services offered to student inmates in Soledad under SB 1391 expanded from four classes in fall 2016 to 10 classes in spring 2017, held both at the lower-security Correctional Training Facility (CTF) and the four yards of the Salinas Valley State Prison (SVSP). A total of 335 incarcerated men have by now taken advantage of face-to-face instruction leading to associate degrees in either psychology or sociology. Hartnell instructors adjusted to the paper-pencil academic environment, and have been particularly impressed by the students’ well-articulated ideas and eagerness to learn. Early results show completion and success rates equal to or higher than students at the Hartnell College campuses. The overall GPA reached by 124 inmates in fall 2016 was 3.08; the 200 inmates taking classes in spring 2017 reached a combined GPA of 3.4.

On Friday, August 11, 2017, the Hartnell Community College District, in partnership with the Matsui Foundation and CSU Monterey Bay, introduced and celebrated the students in CSin3 Cohort 5 at its 5th Annual CSin3 Scholarship Awards Banquet. The fifth cohort consists of 27 students who will begin the academic program this fall, although they have already gone through some rigorous workshops this summer. Each recipient was presented with a $25,000 check; the scholarship will cover tuition, books, supplies and personal expenses for the three-year program. It is through the generosity and vision of Andy Matsui and the Matsui Foundation that this program has become possible for the students – the scholarship allows them to focus on academics. CSin3 is a three-year program that provides its graduates with a bachelor’s degree in computer science. It was an evening full of joy where students and their families enjoyed this proud moment. Director of Communications, Marketing and Public Relations Esmeralda Montenegro Owen emceed the event, with opening remarks by CSUMB’s President Dr. Eduardo Ochoa, and President of Matsui Nursery Teresa Matsui. Attendees viewed a CSin3 video that features alumni from cohort 1, and they heard inspiring words from Alumna Karina Pizano and current student Daniel Ochoa-Aguila.

K-12 STEM EDUCATION: A WONDERFUL EXPANSION WITH INTEGRATED PEER MENTORSHIP It has been an incredible year for CoderDojo Hartnell College. Last year, the program saw 75 to 100 students per quarter, but this year we are serving over 300 students each quarter. This is a huge increase that shows the interests and need in the region. In partnership with local school districts, Hartnell has established five new sites in Castroville, Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield and King City, and the Alisal Campus site has also increased. Students ages 8 to 17 are enjoying the classes where they learn the language of coding and get to explore so much more. An unintended consequence of this program has been the mentorship between the instructors; Hartnell and CSUMB students from the computer science departments are hired to teach the program and have seen these students grow as much as their young students. It is a wonderful group of close to 30 instructors, most of them local students who are loving the response they get from the students and now realize they are role models to local youth.

STEM SUMMER INTERNSHIP SYMPOSIUM: OVER 50 STUDENTS PRESENT THEIR STEM RESEARCH PROJECTS On August 19, 2017, Hartnell experienced the 11th Annual STEM Summer Internship Symposium held inside the new STEM Center Building. Over 50 students shared their research experience with large poster boards displayed throughout the STEM Center. The projects were a result of weeks of research this summer with mentors from industry partners dedicated to student success and opportunities. Each student received a $3,800

stipend and an experience that broadens his or her scope. Trustee Pat Donohue was there to talk to the interns and learn about their research. Dean Shannon Bliss, Internship Coordinator Dan Orr, and Superintendent/ President Dr. Willard Lewallen addressed the audience of family, friends and Hartnell staff. The Andy Newton Outstanding Partner Award was presented jointly to IBM Almaden Research Center, represented by Dr. Noel Arellano, and Hartnell faculty member Dr. Sewan Fan. IBM has provided extraordinary opportunities to the students for two years. Through the hard work of Dr. Fan and IBM, this partnership has been successful and filled with

opportunities for Hartnell students. All students proudly received certificates of completion and recognition and were happy to share the experience with the attendees. Hartnell College is so thankful to industry partners and sponsors for continuous partnerships to provide access to world-class research opportunities to students.

CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER RATED ONE OF BEST IN REGION The Hartnell College Child Development Center (CDC) is a participant in the Monterey county Quality Matters Program, which aims to improve quality on early care and education in the Monterey County. The CDC finished the first year with a total rating of four out of five stars. This is the reason why the center received three certificates of recognition from Congressman Jimmy Panetta, Assemblymember Anna Caballero, and from the Monterey County Office of Education. 38

2016-17 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

The rating was given according to a set of rubrics that were based upon: room arrangement, the quality and education of the staff, how the center screens for disabilities and makes referrals to the necessary agencies, how the center plans and assess the children and the last area is the classroom size. Achieving such a high score was a bit challenging for the CDC. However, with teamwork, compassion, dedication and training, the team collectively possessed the drive and resources to create a highquality learning environment. Along with this recognition, the center received $28,000 to use for activities that relate to improving the quality of the center. The philosophy at the center is one of inclusiveness and diversity. The CDC

allows children of all levels to be together and learn from each other. Children can choose what they are interested in and move around the center at their own pace. This choice is in conflict with the rubric for class size. Having all 60 children able to move around at their own pace is not an indicator of quality. “The rubric that is used requires the class size to be less than 20 students,” said Director of the CDC, Dr. Susan Ratliff. “We have 60 children, therefore we have been given four out of five instead of the original five out of five.”

TEACHER PATHWAY PROGRAM WELCOMES 31 FUTURE TEACHERS On Thursday, August 10, 2017, a ceremony was held at the King City Education Center to welcome 31 students who are part of the Teacher Pathway Program, Cohort 2. This is a unique collaboration with California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB), and the Claire Giannini Fund. Family, friends, faculty, and staff attended the festivity. Trustees Manuel Osorio and Candi DePauw proudly witnessed this celebration. The welcome was given by our Dean of Academic Affairs Dr. Celine Pinet, and Chair of the Liberal Studies Department at CSUMB Dr. Deanne Perez-Granados. Dr. Pinet said, "It was my honor to do the opening remarks and let the students know how special they are and how much the community needs them. Today, there are thousands of vacancies for teachers just in California, and I am happy that Hartnell and CSUMB are stepping in to train the next generation of educators." Counselors Sergio Diaz and Gabriela Lopez along with Dr. Antonio Gallardo (CSUMB) presented the awards to all students. The keynote speech was given by Sonia Aramburo, principal at Mary Chapa Academy in Greenfield. She shared her experience and her love for the South County Community.

Trustee for the Claire Giannini Fund, Betsy Buchalter Adler (photo at right) could not miss the event. She spoke so passionately about the role of an educator and how we build a legacy for future generations. “Education is the most important thing,” she remarked. The program facilitates the completion of an Associate Degree for Transfer in Elementary Teacher Education and seamless transfer to CSUMB’s Liberal Studies program in two years. Students in the program benefit from guaranteed seats in major classes offered locally in South County. Once each cohort is ready to transfer, CSUMB will offer classes needed for the bachelor’s degree at the King City Education Center. Students benefit from specialized academic advising, financial stipends ($500), and technological support in the form of laptops. The program aims to fill a void with locally grown talent responding to a critical elementary school teacher shortage both locally and at the state-wide level. The first cohort of 30 students, which began coursework in fall 2016, is on target to start coursework at CSUMB in the fall 2018. Students in the program reside primarily in San Lucas, King City, Greenfield, Soledad and Gonzales.

2016-17 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

Hartnell College proudly hosted a reception for our new STEM Center on Friday, September 30, 2016, with a special sculpture dedication in honor of Kong Yau Lowe & Kwai Ning Lowe, commissioned by the Long Family Foundation. We started outside the building next to the sculpture to welcome Marilyn Long, who along with five of her siblings all graduated from Hartnell College. In an effort to give back to their alma matter, the Long Family Foundation partnered with Hartnell to commission artist Roger Berry to create the sculpture, "Jaipure," to be installed in front of the new STEM Center. “This building is a testament of the community's commitment to progress and opportunity,” said Erica Padilla-Chavez, president of the HCCD Board of Trustees and speaker at the event. “Hartnell is proud to be home to the next generation of scientists, engineers and community leaders, and now they have this amazing building that will house encouragement as they work toward completion.”

Other Trustees present included: Candi DePauw, Manuel Osorio, and Vice President Pat Donohue. In addition, Mayor Joe Gunter presented a certificate of recognition from the City of Salinas. The event was filled with visitors who with great enthusiasm wanted to witness this new step in Hartnell’s future. Alumni Ana Ibarra and Rolando Perez shared their stories of perseverance and grit. They are an example of the high-caliber students here at Hartnell. The guests enjoyed the program, the food, the STEM demonstrations and the new Wall of Fame featuring 20 of our alumni and their stories.

The STEM Center is a 54,000-square-foot building with an enhanced planetarium that is twice the size of the existing one. It has lecture halls, state-of-the-art labs, faculty offices, student study areas, administrative offices, and the Science and Math Institute.

ATTESTI AND GALLI: ITALIAN ARTISTS SPEND A MUSICAL WEEK WITH US Francesco Attesti and Matteo Galli returned to Hartnell to delight with their talents in piano and organ. This tour took them from the campus in Salinas to the Carmel Mission. Attesti and Galli started their visit with a lunch hour Valentine’s matinee for students and employees. They designed a beautiful repertoire specially for the day of love and friendship. It was a nice start to an exciting week of music. The audience welcomed the pair with joy. At Hartnell, two grand pianos were set up at Mainstage Theater for them to play together. During the week, four matinee concerts were offered to 4th and 5th graders from Salinas City Elementary School District. This was a sight to see! More than 1,600 students and their teachers enjoyed a specially picked menu of music that left them asking for more. The 40-minute matinees were crafted to educate and amaze the audience. Attesti and Galli were so delighted to have a good number of questions from the children. Questions ranged from when the artists began playing their instruments to what the pedals

under the piano were used for. These students were amazingly engaged and appreciative of being the guests at such an important presentation. Some students were dressed in their Sunday best to attend this exciting concert. Attesti and Galli always offer a master class to students, which included one-on-one lessons from two of the world's best pianists. This is always such a treat, especially for music students. This year, Hartnell took the concert to the Carmel Mission for a unique concert inside the basilica with a piano and an organ. Salinas Valley and Monterey Peninsula attendees were impressed with the sounds coming out of both instruments at the same time. The acoustics inside the church enhanced the sounds of the piano and organ, taking the audience on a musical journey. Attesti is from Cortona, Italy, and is a pianist of international acclaim. Galli comes from Milan, Italy, and is the chief organist at local basilicas in his hometown. Attesti and Galli present a wide variety of music for piano and organ, including arrangements of arias from operas, Richard Strauss, Franz Schubert, Frédéric Chopin, an arrangement of “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin, and more. Their visits in February have become a college tradition.

THE WESTERN STAGE ROCKS! The Western Stage (TWS) at Hartnell College continues to serve as a gathering space for performance excellence and community conversations. Season 2016 reflected TWS’ commitment to inclusiveness, lifelong learning and the highest artistic standards, and showcased widely diverse content throughout the year. A highlight of the season was the presentation of Luis Valdez’ Bandido! and a special reception hosted by

the Theatre Arts Council’s Advocacy Group. The event gave audience members an opportunity to meet and speak with Mr. Valdez, who had just returned from the White House after receiving the National Medal of Arts from President Obama. At the start of 2017, TWS joined the nation’s Ghostlight Project, fo which members of the theatre community from Broadway to regional theaters to colleges and communities gathered at the same time across each time zone to create a collective “light” for challenging times. The purpose was to make or renew a pledge to stand for and protect the values of inclusion, participation and compassion of everyone regardless of race,

class, religion, country of origin, immigration status, (dis)ability, age, gender, identity or sexual orientation. The Ghostlight remains lit in the Performing Arts Building’s lobby. Finally, TWS’ annual pre-season SpringFEST 2017, which runs February through April, presented nine productions in twelve weeks. Its Open Studio program provided a venue and opportunity for local artists to present their works, and the annual School Matinee Program brought 1,000 local school children into the Mainstage Theater to see Miss Electricity, which was cast with five youth actors, including Margaret D’Arrigo-Martin’s son, Alex.

JACQUELINE CRUZ GETS 2017 LATINA ADVOCATE AWARD Vice President of Advancement and Development Jacqueline Cruz was one of seven to receive the 2017 Latina Advocate Award issued by Hispanas Organized for Political Equality (HOPE). Cruz received this statewide recognition

at the 23rd Annual Latina Action Day event in Sacramento, CA, on April 25, 2017. Assemblymember Anna Caballero nominated Cruz to represent the 30th District. Cruz began her career in the non-profit sector 19 years ago at United Way Monterey County. At Hartnell, she has connected philanthropists, foundations and industry with the opportunity to create viable pathways for students leading them to selfsufficiency and healthy lives. She has been a part of development efforts that have galvanized over $49 million in financial investments for local youth, women and

She launched the Salinas Valley Health Professions Pathways Partnership, co-founded the Women’s Education Leadership Institute and the Women’s Education and Economic Forum, launched two capital campaigns, has expanded the Agriculture Institute and worked to increase support for innovation through agriculture and STEM in the Salinas Valley. Latina Action Day convenes over 400 Latina leaders from across California for an annual public policy issues conference.

WELI FORUM THRIVES The Women's Education & Leadership Institute (WELI) is an award-winning program that combines a financial scholarship with leadership development and life-skills training to women in our community. The WELI program entered its sixth year of providing support to local women who will become tomorrow's leaders. We embarked on the third Annual Women's Education Leadership Institute (WELI) Forum in fall 2016, an event supporting the WELI endowment and program. The forum was an enjoyable evening with an intimate dinner and conversation, moderated by Adrienne Laurent, featuring 48

Industry and community partnerships help bring resources, education, support and mentorship to the program. in scholarships. The Hartnell College Foundation is working towards the next phase of WELI, which requires a sustainability plan and endowment to ensure WELI’s presence for future generations. With this in mind, we launched the Women’s Education Leadership Institute Economic Forum in 2011 to raise the brand of WELI to continue to build awareness and the program.

BIG WINS FOR HARTNELL COLLEGE AT STATE CONFERENCE

GALA FOR THE ARTS DELIVERS A GOOD TIME AMONG FRIENDS The 11th Annual Gala for the Arts was held on November 19, 2016, and it delivered on its promise of glamour, entertainment, festive atmosphere, food, drinks and more! The Gala took place in the new STEM Center Building. This year’s theme of Black and White was evident throughout the building and its décor. More than 350 guests came to have a good time. The Gala features a scrumptious strolling dinner by Michael's Catering, cocktails by Dubbers, a fantastic silent auction, and an outstanding musical performance of Nice Work If You Can Get It at Western Stage in the Mainstage Theater. Everyone in the audience enjoyed this musical

comedy; laughter was rampant even after the production was over. Before the play began, Chair of the Council for the Arts and Foundation Board Member Nick Pasculli introduced student Damian Mercado, who spoke of the impact Hartnell and Western Stage have had in helping him overcome obstacles and stay centered. It was an emotional presentation. All proceeds of this event go to support the capital campaign for the Center for Performing Arts at Hartnell College. Congratulations to the Gala for the Arts Committee, headed by Dottie Massey, and to the Hartnell College Foundation staff for another great fundraiser.

The accolades continue to pour in!

At its Pro Awards Dinner, Hartnell College received five (5) awards for marketing collateral created in 2016. Public relation firms, marketing specialists and other community college communication experts judge the marketing collateral. “The competition was intense this year,” said Montenegro Owen. “The quality of the work submitted was 10 times better than last year, and I am proud to bring these recognitions to Hartnell.” CCPRO received 333 submissions from California community colleges. Hartnell took fifth place in the number of awards with College of the Canyons taking the most at 13.
