Message from the Provost
Welcome to the fall semester! I hope this message finds you all in good health and ready to welcome our students back for an energizing and productive year. As your Provost and Vice President for Academic and Student Success, I look forward to working with all of you this semester and throughout the rest of the academic year to support and foster our students’ success.
As you prepare for the fall semester, important information is available in an easy-access website for the Academic and Student Success Division. Topics include grades, exams and technology training; links to documents such as the Student Handbook, Enrollment Guide and Student Resource Center, which provide information about in-person and virtual services and office hours; and information regarding Starfish Connect, our academic early alert system. Please note that the website also contains information pertaining to the College’s continued work on Guided Pathways. Please review this site throughout the semester, as it will be updated regularly with additional information.
The contributions of all faculty, staff, and administrators are integral to the work we do at the College and the continued success of our students. I look forward to a productive semester and academic year for all as we continue our focus on access, equity and student success.
Thanks for all you do.
