First Coastline President Visits Coast Former Coastline President Bernie Luskin and I met this week. Bernie was able to provide me with a first-hand account of the ways in which our District has grown and changed through the years. As Coastline was conceived as the "college without walls" it is now home to three major learning centers and continues to be the leader in distance learning. I am grateful to President Luskin for helping to elaborate on the heritage of flexibility within our Coast District as we continue to move toward our stretch goals and learn to be more flexible in the face of current challenges and opportunities. Orange County Business Council Workforce Development Conference Board President Jim Moreno and I attended the OCBC Workforce Development Conference this week along with several other Coast Family members. The OCBC outlined the trends in the OC Workforce Indicators Report and provided some data regarding demographics, economic and workforce trends, and education trends. Trustee Moreno was able to ask them directly about the role of the community college in the continued recovery of the county's economy. Dr. Wallace Walrod of the OCBC indicated that community colleges will continue to play a vital role in our higher education system, especially related to workforce training and partnering with local businesses to train workers. Copies of the report will be provided to each Board Member. If you would like to see the report, please contact Martha Parham at [email protected] or go online to www.ocbc.org. Southern California Council on Black American Affairs Coast Colleges had the honor of hosting the 2nd annual Southern California Council on Black American Affairs’ Community College Career Institute on Saturday, October 6. The purpose of the career institute was to promote advocacy and career advancement strategies to staff, faculty, administrators and students who are interested in pursuing a career in the community college environment. The Institute was a great success! Sincerely,
From the Office of

This year, the Homecoming theme was “That 70s at GWC” Throughout the week the Associated students sponsored a variety of activities to carry on the theme. Some of the activities included spirit games, music, a photo booth, and prizes.
The Homecoming Court process started with elections held on campus. The top five candidates in each category were named the Homecoming Court. On October 2, the court presented themselves before a panel of judges who rated them in several categories and the queen and king were determined by the highest overall scores by the judges.
The finalists, who will now serve as princesses, are Sasha Achrem, Katie Fredrickson, Lizbett Rodriguez, and Patricia Manzanares. The princes are Brandon Ngo, Jeremy Flores, Dale Lendrum, and Emilio Torres.
