Candidate for
Member, Community College Board; City of San Francisco

1) Accreditation: As a Trustee, I work hard to give our administrators, faculty, staff, and students the tools and resources to improve City College in preparation for the final accreditation commissions visit. However, City College can't solve this accreditation crisis by itself. I am building stronger relationships with the non-profit and business community to continue City College's history of strong partnerships throughout the City.

2) Enrollment: Serving on CCSF's Marketing and Enrollment Committee, I fight everyday to increase enrollment by expanding City College's visibility throughout San Francisco. I have already been conducting grassroots outreach in our neighborhoods and schools to educate the community on City College's many programs, and am soliciting more student feedback. Further, I look forward to strengthening our partnership with the SF School District.

3) Getting City College Back on Track: City College's accreditation troubles and funding cuts have created budget challenges. Strengthening our funding sources and building partnerships with city agencies, businesses, and nonprofit groups, are my top priorities. From better managing voter-approved bonds for projects and improvements to creating a sustainable financial plan, I will continue to ensure that CCSF remains a resource for students of all backgrounds.
