We recently opened our new Wellness Center, new Mission campus and new Student Health Center.  Soon, we will be breaking ground on our new much-needed Chinatown-North Beach campus, new Joint Use building and new Performing Arts Center.

We have made significant improvements in our academic programs which

have resulted in more students graduating with AA/AS degrees, more

students gaining valuable skills to enter the job market, and more

students engaging the world through non-credit courses in art, ESL and

citizenship programs.

However, we face some serious challenges as the massive state budget

deficit has forced us to do more with less.

My experiences as a Trustee, former SFPUC President, teacher,

journalist, activist and lawyer have provided me with the tools,

perspective and fortitude to deal with the challenges facing us to

ensure that our faculty and staff have the necessary resources to

effectively serve our students.

Indeed, City College must remain an oasis of opportunity and learning

for all.

I respectfully ask for your vote.”
