Candidate for
Trustee; San Joaquin Delta Community College District; Trustee Area 5

Steve Castellanos has served as a Delta College trustee since 2008. "My life has been one of community service and involvement, none of which would have been possible without public education." Mr. Castellanos feels education in California is at a critical juncture. "California's Community Colleges are under assault. Never has it been more important for the community to partner with education to assure a positive future. Current times call for smart advocacy, including creative and innovative solutions."

Castellanos, a past president of the American Institute of Architects California Council, and California State Architect (2000-2005), feels he brings a unique perspective to his role on the California Community College Trustees Board. "As an architect, I know there is a strong connection between facilities and education. The fundamental partnership between community, business and industry must be strengthened. I will work to develop the talents and skills of our next generation. Without a continuing commitment, future educational opportunities are at risk."
