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.
On Friday, February 28, 2025, the Peralta Community College District headquarters buzzed with festive energy as we celebrated the Lunar New Year, the Year of the Snake. The event, filled with cultural richness and community spirit, brought together faculty, classified professionals, students, and district leadership for an afternoon of celebration and learning.
Many thanks to everyone who attended the Budget Town Hall meeting on Friday, January 31, 2025, hosted by Dr. Tammeil Gilkerson, Chancellor of the Peralta Community College District, and Greg Nelson, Deputy Chancellor and COO. The Zoom meeting was well attended with 300 participants on the call.
The Peralta Community College District Marketing team was thrilled to participate in Welcome Week activities, visiting Berkeley City College, College of Alameda, Laney College, and Merritt College to hand out free college-branded hoodies and t-shirts to students who then modeled them. We had an outstanding turnout, including many returning students from last semester's event. Thank you so much to the 200+ students who modeled for us!
Members of the Peralta community are no strangers to exhibiting "Thought Leadership", as employees participate in – and lead – statewide organizations focused on California community colleges.
This thought leadership was again on display at the 31st Annual Conference of the Community College Facility Coalition on November 6-8 in Rancho Mirage CA.
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.
