During her Flex Day address on January 16, 2025, Chancellor Dr. Tammeil Gilkerson emphasized the importance of shared governance and community engagement as the Peralta Community College District navigates a challenging period in higher education. Her speech is posted on YouTube.
Dear Peralta Community,
Welcome to the Fall 2024 Semester at the Peralta Colleges. I’m so glad you are here with us, whether you are a new or returning student, full or part-time faculty member, classified professional, or administrator. You are all part of our community, and you belong here! I’m inspired by the Passion, Purpose, and Possibilities I saw at the Welcome Week activities at Berkeley City College, College of Alameda, Laney College, and Merritt College campuses last week.
On August 15, 2024, Peralta Community College District employees (and at least one student!) gathered at Laney College for a dynamic and engaging Flex Day focused on professional development. Organized by district-wide Professional Development Co-Coordinators Chelsea Cohen and Marla Leech (both Laney College faculty members), the event was a resounding success, bringing together educators from across the district to enhance their skills, particularly with regards to Artificial Intelligence (AI), and collaborate on maximizing student success in the upcoming semester.
The Peralta Community College District held its Spring 2024 "Flex Day" for Professional Development on Thursday, January 18, 2024, at Laney College and featured two new chancellors, Peralta's Chancellor Dr. Tammeil Gilkerson and California Community Colleges Chancellor Dr. Sonya Christian.
The Peralta Community College District held its Fall District-wide Flex Day on Thursday, August 17, 2023. The day was dedicated to professional development for faculty and staff, with a focus on equity and inclusion, as we prepare for the August 21st, 2023, start of the Fall 2023 semester.
What a wonderful District-wide Flex Day on Thursday, August 23, 2021!
Thanks to Dr. Inger Stark (Staff Development Officer) for planning an informative day of talks and professional development sessions.
Thanks also to the 381 people who attended the Flex Day Plenary Session – record attendance for a District Flex Day session! Officially, there were 594 total “attendees” (381 unique) with 345 as the maximum logged in concurrently.
Welcome students and educators to the Fall 2020 Semester at the Peralta Community College District!
