The Peralta Community College District made a significant splash at the recent Community College Public Relations Organization (CCPRO) 2025 conference held on beautiful Shelter Island in San Diego! Mark Johnson, Peralta’s Executive Director of Marketing, Communication & Public Relations and a member of the CCPRO board for nearly three years, shared his excitement about the impactful three-day event, which brought together talented colleagues and leaders in the field. “This year was the largest meeting in CCPRO’s 41-year history, and I was thrilled to attend with a strong PCCD cohort including Chanda Brewer (Laney), Tom Rizza (BCC), Faiza Ali, and Marcus Creel (from the District team).”
Adding to the excitement, Peralta Colleges demonstrated its exceptional talent and dedication by bringing home an impressive total of SEVEN awards! This remarkable achievement underscores the outstanding work being done across our district.

Our team brought home some laughs (and an award!) for the unforgettable video of our drone's brief encounter with a hungry tree on the Laney College quad – thankfully, it was rescued!
Mark Johnson expressed his immense pride in representing Peralta and acknowledged the hard work and dedication of everyone involved. "Everyone earned this recognition, and I couldn't be more proud to represent Peralta," he stated.
This collective success is a testament to the Passion, Purpose, Possibilities, and teamwork that drive us at the Peralta Colleges. We look forward to continuing to elevate our work and serve our East Bay community with excellence.
