The Peralta Community College District isn't just a hub of academic excellence; it's a breeding ground for influential leaders who are shaping the landscape of higher education across California. From administrators to faculty and classified professionals, Peralta's dedicated individuals are making significant contributions to statewide organizations and initiatives.
Chancellor Dr. Tammeil Gilkerson shared an uplifting report with the Peralta Community College District Board of Trustees on March 11th, detailing her experience at the
49th Annual Association of California Community College Administrators (ACCCA) Conference in Monterey. As the current ACCCA President, Dr. Gilkerson found the gathering to be a powerful experience of learning, growth, and celebration in service to student success and institutional strength.
Peralta Community College District Chancellor Dr. Tammeil Gilkerson is featured in a two-part episode of the EDUCATE. ELEVATE. podcast, exploring California’s new Black-Serving Institution (BSI) designation. This significant legislation, Senate Bill 1348, allows community colleges with a substantial Black student population (10% or 1,500 students) to seek BSI status. Berkeley City College, College of Alameda, Laney College, and Merritt College are included among the California Community Colleges that meet the eligibility criteria to apply for the designation.
Congratulations to Dr. Denise Richardson, President of Berkeley City College, and her co-author, Dr. Alfred McQuarters, President of Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, for the publication of their article in Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, a national magazine with over 35,000 readers.
