This past intersession and summer, our dept. was able to offer a total of 88 class sections to serve the needs of our community. Not only that, our Fallbrook staff finally moved into a new office that Coordinator Gary just reported. Hats off also to Gary, Anna, and Grace for making so much effort to see to the completion of this remodeling project that was months in the making.
As usual, we tested hundreds of new students right after summer school. I would like to especially thank Carol, Tracy, Marty, Holly, Nimoli, Lynne, Matt, Caroline and other fellow teachers for helping to proctor the tests during their summer vacation. Of course, the office staff and support personnel have been working non-stop to ensure our many successes. I appreciate all of them very much.
In other news, the college has reported that credit enrollment headcount is up compared with the same period last fall. I hope our dept. maintains the same healthy growth, too, not just in credit classes but also in our noncredit segment.
To assist students who are facing financial hardships and obstacles that are preventing them from purchasing their required textbooks and/or class supplies, a book grant of up to $100 is currently being offered by the college's President's Associates.
In the "newspaper as a teaching and learning resource" department, there are three vying for your consideration.
- North County Times, which is now freely available on a rack in front of our dept. office.
- San Diego Union-Tribune, whose no-cost NIE program now has a new online ordering system.
- Easy English Times, whose editorial board includes our very own Tami.
