| "Coming Together" for Fall In-Service
| |
One of the highlights of our Fall In-Service was undoubtedly the common table lunch. Stretching along the walkway between Friendship Plaza and the main drive, the table allowed our faculty, staff and administrators to come together, enjoy a meal, music and conversation.
In addition to fostering community, the lunch made for a perfect break between the morning presentations about Guided Pathways and student success, and the afternoon small group sessions, where we discussed the mission of our college. The day concluded with 14 workshops on such topics as the new website, Title IX, Emergency Services, curriculum, counseling and more.

Thanks to Cristina Garcia Otero for organizing everything for a successful In-Service day.

Maddie Mitchell and Coach Christina Klein
| |
| | |
Last year Women's Tennis coach Christina Klein nominated SBCC Women's Tennis player Maddie Mitchell for the Regional and National Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsmanship Award for two-year colleges. Over the summer we reported the proud news that Maddie was the winner of that prestigious award.
As part of winning the award, Maddie was invited to the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament in New York to be recognized and to participate in a youth clinic during Arthur Ashe Kids' Day. She also had the opportunity to take part in a leadership conference at the Open.
The first step in this entire wonderful process was a head coach nomination. By nominating Maddie for this award, Coach Klein was able to help provide one of her students an experience to be remembered for a lifetime. In Maddie's own words, "Thank you especially to my coach Christina Klein for nominating me and teaching me what it truly means to be part of a team and how to stay focused." Thank you from all of us, Christina!
