Dear Peralta Community,
As we near the winter break and continue preparations for Spring semester Return to Campus (RTC), I would like to invite you to a Town Hall meeting on Monday, December 20, 2021, at 10am to affirm and update you on our health and safety measures, especially as they relate to vaccinations. The webinar will be recorded and made available on YouTube, as with our prior RTC Town Hall.
As we head into the Fall semester Finals Week, I wanted to share some thoughts with you before the end of the year and everyone takes a well-deserved break.
On Monday, December 6, 2021, the Peralta Colleges Foundation revived its annual golf tournament and this year titled the tournament after Peralta’s long serving retired board trustee Dr. William “Bill” Riley.
Congratulations Students on making it to the Fall 2021 semester Finals Week December 11-17, 2021. You got this! Here are the final exam schedules for each college:
Congratulations to the BCC students Mareen Poitras and Gail Feldman, the winners of two California Film awards for 2021! Mareen Poitras, a Video Production student, was recognized by The California Film Institute with the DocPitch Audience Award. Gail Feldman, a Multimedia Arts student, received the 2021 Berkeley Film Foundation grant. Congratulations to Maren Poitras, the director of “Finding the Money”, and Gail Feldman, director of “Orchestra from Oil Drums”
A beautiful ceremony to celebrate the success of students took place on December 1st, 2021, at the College of Alameda Automotive Technology Facility. Students, faculty, administrators, and staff gathered to celebrate the awarding of five scholarships. Steve Gilbert was there to award the scholarships he created in memory of his son Daniel Gilbert who was an ATECH student at College of Alameda.
It's getting colder and even a bit rainy now and then as winter settles in. I can think of no better time than to grab a blanket, some hot cocoa, and take a journey with Peralta TV to the world's mountains, to the world's cuisines, where the ingredients we know and love come from, and beyond.
