Hello Peralta Colleagues,
I don't know about you, but I am very much looking forward to the Thanksgiving break on November 24-25, 2022. Working at Peralta Community College District can often feel like stepping on a treadmill that’s already going 10 miles per hour. There’s always so much going on. We all need this break to recharge and reflect.
Dear Peralta Colleagues,
As we progress through our spring term, there is a significant amount of activity on campuses and at the district office, in areas as diverse as housing, campus safety, and business process modernization. I want to share with you an update on these key areas as we continue to take steps to strengthen our District and fulfill our role in providing educational opportunities to all members of our community.
The following message was sent on behalf of Dr. Jannett N. Jackson, Interim Chancellor, to all students and employees via email on March 30, 2022.

I Am Because We Are…
A Story Worth Sharing
“Africans have a thing called Ubuntu. It is about the essence of being human… It embraces hospitality, caring about others, being willing to go the extra mile for the sake of another. We believe that a person is a person through other persons, that my humanity is caught up, bound up, inextricably, with yours.”
- Archbishop Desmond Tutu
