My pledge to you

By Marcia Milchiker

• Outstanding Conservative Fiscal Management - I spend taxpayers dollars where they count, in the classroom.

• Top-Tier Academics - I am proud that we attract and keep the finest most dedicated professors, and this makes all the difference.

• Cutting-Edge Vocational Education - We have business educational partnerships that get our students good jobs in our communities.

I've kept my pledge.

I listen judiciously and work tirelessly to ensure extraordinary educational value.

Through outstanding conservative fiscal management, we are debt free and have no unfunded public employee pension liability.

Our nursing program is ranked # 1 in the nation.

We have increased our superb class offerings and programs.

Our colleges have the highest transfer rates among all community colleges.

I instituted:

• Paramedic Training/ Laser Technology/ Robotics

• National Accreditation for Nursing and Child Care Programs

• Cutting-edge Computer Centers/ Web-based academic planning

• Online instruction/ Student E-mail/ Short-term Classes

• Technology Centers/ Virtual Reality Job Training

• Business - Industry Partnerships/ Digital Labs

• Guaranteed Transfer to the University of California

• Honors Program/ Weekend College/ Distance Learning

• Saving our Outstanding Emeritus Institute

• Internet and Telephone Registration/ Library Automation

Please give me your vote. As always, I pledge to use my experience and perspective to keep our colleges on track.

Thank you,

Marcia Milchiker
