Merritt College Commemorates Black Panther Party’s 58th Anniversary

In the month of October, Merritt College held a series of events that reflect the rich and diverse culture and history that we are so blessed to have here. On October 15, we had our Black Panther Day Brunch to commemorate the 58th Anniversary of the founding of the Party.

Ray Corona shares his enriching experiences at Merritt College Welcome Center, highlighting the supportive atmosphere, vibrant student community, and valuable academic resources.

The Peralta Community College District has been getting substantial news coverage over the past few months. Each of the colleges is getting excellent news exposure from a wide range of publications.

The Peralta Community College District was featured throughout the September issue of the national magazine, Diverse Issues in Higher Education.

On Wednesday, October 2nd, Vice Chancellor of Human Resources & Employee Relations Andrea Epps hosted a Human Resources retreat at Merritt College.  This retreat included the teams working on Human Resources, Employee Relations, Benefits, and Risk Management. It was another excellent team building event!

The Peralta Community College District is proud to continue our ongoing and sustained commitment to serving the undocumented members of our East Bay community and joins with other community colleges across the state for Undocumented Student Action Week 2024.

Here in the East Bay, we live in an earthquake zone, so it’s important that we all know what to do to keep as safe as possible during a quake.  The Great California Shakeout on October 17, 2024, at 10:17am, is an opportunity to test our emergency preparedness in case of an earthquake.  On that day and time, the Peralta Community College District will test our emergency communication system, Rave, by sending you all a text and email message advising you of the Great Shakeout emergency earthquake test.
