our College of the Canyons programs have been ranked by California Community Colleges (CCC) as Strong Workforce Stars, a new annual commendation for career education programs whose students show signi¿cant gains in social mobility and earning power.

The college’s Emergency Medical Technician, Administration of Justice and Fire Technology programs earned a spot on the list under the Public and Protective Services sector, and the Water Technology program was listed in the Agriculture, Water and Environmental Technologies sector.

Of the state’s 114 community colleges, only 65 made the list, which included more than 100 career education programs.

“It is an incredible honor to have four of our career education programs ranked as Strong Workforce Stars by California Community Colleges,” Chancellor Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook said.

ollege of the Canyons has been selected by the California Community Colleges as one of 20 institutions across the state to participate in the new pilot career pathway program “Self-Employment Pathways in the Gig Economy,” designed to help students launch successful freelance careers.

The “gig economy,” a reference to the short-term nature of freelance work that accounts for 34 percent of the American workforce, launched this fall with 20 students from a wide range of disciplines, such as graphic design and computer programming.

The program will help the college determine how it can better equip students to compete in the gig economy as freelancers, and determine the changes that need to be made to ensure students attain requisite skills to be competitive.

“We are very excited to be working with California Community Colleges in this effort to help our students become ‘gig-ready,’ ” said Jeffrey Forrest, the college’s vice president of economic and workforce development. “The data

Van Hook has been named one of the 125 “Notable Leos for Life” by the University of La Verne to mark its 125th anniversary. Van Hook, who earned her master’s and doctorate degrees from La Verne in 1976 and 1981, respectively, was honored during “homecoming weekend” Oct. 27 to 29. “ It is a tremendous honor to have been included among the University of La Verne’s 125 Notable Leos for Life,” she said. “The education I received at the University of La Verne was second to none, and the memories and friendships I made during my time at the university are among my most cherished.” The private university, whose leopard mascots are named Leo and Lea, selected the 125 alumni based on the significant impacts they have made in their fields, for embodying the university’s values, and for leading lives of purpose and meaning.

NEW FOUNDATION DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR James Kneblik Jr. has been named the College of the Canyons Foundation’s director of development. Kneblik assumes the position previously held

by Michele Edmonson, who retired. “It is an honor to continue a career of service within the Santa Clarita Valley,” said Kneblik. “College of the Canyons is a dynamic institution and serves as the gold standard for accessible education and innovative community partnerships. While representing the foundation, I look forward to working for increased student services and greater fundraising success in the years to come.” Kneblik is responsible for fundraising and membership expansion for support groups such as Chancellor’s Circle and Patrons of the Arts.

or the second year in a row, the College of the Canyons Astronomy & Physics Club participated in NASA’s High Altitude Student Platform (HASP), a scienti¿c research balloon Àight that launched from New Mexico on Sept. 4.

College of the Canyons was one of only two community colleges nationwide that participated in this year’s program, and it is one of just ¿ve community colleges ever chosen to participate in the program’s 11-year history.

It’s also the only community college that participated for a second time. The program is run by Louisiana State University and the Columbia Scienti¿c Balloon Facility.

The team of 12 students improved upon last year’s prototype, which collected cosmic dust par-

‘These students are getting graduate student-level project experience at the community college level.’

“The goal for the new improvements in the design is better functionality while preserving reliability and simplicity,” he said. “The entire structure of the experiment has been revamped to be more robust and handle the shocks of landing. The dust collector instrument has been signi¿cantly improved to be more ef¿cient and collect more particles during Àight.”

The HASP research balloon carrying the team’s payload launched from New Mexico on Sept. 4.

Following launch, a recovery team retrieved the device and shipped it to the college, where the team analyzed it in a clean room. Funding for the payload, clean room and testing equipment was provided by the College of the Canyons Foundation.

REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

Sale of First Measure E Bonds Yields $50 Million

T

he ¿rst bonds from Measure E, the Santa Clarita Community College District’s $230 million general obligation bonds approved by MEASURE voters in June 2016, were sold on April 12, yielding $50 million to help fund a parking structure at the Valencia campus and two new buildings at the Canyon Country campus.

“With student enrollment and demand for access continuing to grow, the funds come at a critical time in the college’s development,” Chancellor Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook said. “The demand for access to education, whether from veterans looking to transition to new careers, or from high school students planning to jumpstart their college studies, or local residents focusing on upgrading their skills to remain competitive in fast-changing ¿elds, means that we will need more facilities, and different kinds of facili-

ties, to serve our community. Measure E provides the funding that allows us to respond to what our community needs.”

As part of the ¿nancing process, the district received and con¿rmed its credit ratings with Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor’s, which issued an “AAA” rating – the highest rating assigned to a community college – and an “AA” rating, respectively, with stable outlooks.

As a result, the district received more than $114 million in orders for the $50 million in bonds being offered, demonstrating signi¿cant investor interest in the district’s bonds. The current interest bonds went to market April 11 with an interest rate of 3.63 percent.

Measure E funds will help build a three-level parking structure at the Valencia campus, creating 1,65 parking spaces. Construction is slated to begin by the end of the year.

he Santa Clarita Community College District’s independent citizens’ bond oversight committee has accepted the results of MEASURE an independent audit con¿rming that, for the 10th year in a row, the district has properly accounted for all bond expenditures and issued the district an unmodi¿ed opinion – the best rating possible – noting no adjustments, no audit ¿ndings, nor any questioned costs or instances of bond noncompliance.

Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co. LLP conducted both the ¿nancial and performance audit, covering the ¿scal year that ended on June 30, 2016. The ¿rm presented its report to the district’s independent citizens’ bond oversight committee on Jan. 24.

“This displays the ef¿ciency and continuous stability of the combined efforts of ¿nance staff, the facilities team, and the chancellor,” said Nicholas Lentini, chair of the oversight committee.

The 2015-16 audit con¿rms approximately $152.2 million in resources from the ¿rst four bond issuances, which also includes earned interest and net premium in the bonds. Of that amount, more than $130.8 million has been expended on authorized bond projects, leaving the

“We are pleased to learn that College of the Canyons has once again achieved another clean Measure M audit,” said Sharlene Coleal, assistant superintendent and vice president of business services at the college. “We are thankful to the bond oversight committee volunteers for their efforts in ensuring that the District remains in full compliance.” Measure M was approved by voters in 2006.

The $160 million bond measure has helped fund a variety of major facilities

and improvements, such as expansion of both Mentry Hall and the Library/TLC (The Learning Center), and constrction of the Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook University Center, the Canyon Country campus, the College of the Canyons Institute for Culinary Education, and the Canyons Hall student services and administration building. The bond also helped secure $36.7 million in state matching funds that otherwise would have been lost and gone to other districts.

“College of the Canyons has diligently used Measure M bonds to continue meeting the short-term and long-term

needs of our ever-growing student population,” Chancellor Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook said. “With the support and trust of the community, we are committed to continue building for the future.”

Measure M will fund the start of construction for the Science Building at the Canyon Country campus and a parking structure at the Valencia campus.

“We look forward to using the remaining Measure M bond funds to the maximum value possible to continue reaching our goals and rede¿ning what a community college can do for the communities it serves,” Van Hook added.

College to Launch ‘Uniquely Abled Academy’

W

ith the purpose of creating career and job opportunities to individuals on the autism spectrum, College of the Canyons will launch the Uniquely Abled Academy (UAA) in the spring.

The program will provide advanced training and support for highly functional autistic individuals to work as Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) machinists.

“The nature of the job is de-

tail-oriented, which needs a great amount of focus,” said Mike Bastine, director of the Center for Applied Competitive Technologies (CACT) at College of the Canyons. “Furthermore, machining tasks can be repetitive, which lends this career to be ideally suited for the high-function uniquely abled population.”

The UAA CNC machining course at COC will be a 12-week program that provides 420 hours

of training and instruction to participating individuals, which includes soft skills, open laboratory, job readiness, and 21st century skills training. After completing the not-for-credit course, graduates will be quali¿ed for entry-level positions as CNC operators, machinist apprentices, and machine trainees.

“This CNC machining program is only the beginning,” said Bastine. “This is a pilot program,

which can evolve and be replicated at other locations and into other manufacturing career ¿elds, such as robotics, CNC programming, manufacturing assembly, and industry maintenance.”

UAA is set to launch in collaboration with multiple local businesses who will provide employment to UAA graduates.

Created by Ivan Rosenberg, UAA was ¿rst implemented at Glendale Community College,

ollege of the Canyons has been named “Education Partner of the Year” by Archdiocesan Youth Employment Services (AYE) for providing job training for This Way Ahead – Los Angeles, an internship program that provides young people with work experience and customer service career pathways. The award was presented Oct. 5.

“Our priority is to provide students with the necessary skills to become job pro¿cient in employment areas that will foster career development,” said Kevin Anthony, chair of the college’s hotel and restaurant management program.

“The key to our program is fostering the student’s growth so they not only learn the skills needed to deliver excellent customer service, but also understand how to create ‘a total customer experience’ that is memorable, high quality, and will attract customers to their employer,” Anthony said.

With the mentorship and guidance of AYE staff and Gap Inc. managers, 58 interns were hired in 15 Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy stores across metropolitan Los Angeles. Of 58 interns hired, 37 completed customer service training through COC, and many of them have been extended offers for ongoing employment.

AYE ¿rst partnered with the college’s ETI customer service training program three years ago. To date, more than 300 students have graduated from the program.

ollege of the Canyons has partnered with Lincoln Electric to provide certi¿ed robotic training to Lincoln Electric clients, establishing the college as the ¿rst of¿cial Lincoln Electric Education Partner School (LEEPS) in the nation.

A multi-tiered program that supports welding instructors at every level of education, LEEPS-designated institutions provide industry certi¿cation to welders who meet speci¿c program requirements. The college offered its ¿rst three-day training session in August “We are proud to be the ¿rst school to offer Lincoln Electric off-site robotic

training classes,” said Tim Baber, chair of the welding technology department. “This would not be possible were it not for our state-of-the-art welding equipment and expert industry knowledge.”

Following Baber’s instruction during the three-day industry-level robotic programming and welding program, all students in the ¿rst cohort received certi¿cates of completion from Lincoln Electric and the college’s Employee Training Institute (ETI).

“This partnership between College of the Canyons and Lincoln Electric is a tremendous achievement for the college’s

welding program,” Chancellor Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook said. “As a Lincoln Electric Education Partner School, College of the Canyons will play an instrumental role in expertly training the next generation of welders.”

Previously, Lincoln Electric clients on the West Coast had to travel to the company’s headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, to receive training.

“Partnering with College of the Canyons allows us to do regional training much closer to where our customers work and live,” said Jason Scales, Lincoln Electric manager of education services.

During the training session at College of the Canyons, students learned structured programming language techniques, proper editing procedures, and error recovery through hands-on exercises in a combination lecture-laboratory format.

“We are very excited to be the ¿rst Lincoln Electric Education Partner School in the nation,” said John Milburn, executive director of ETI. “This further cements the college’s position as an industry leader in the area of robotic welding.”

EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES

COLLEGE OF THE CANYONS HOSTED A WELCOME-DAY ORIENTATION FOR ITS FIRST CLASS OF FIRST-YEAR PROMISE STUDENTS ON JUNE 12.

PROMISE CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED T College Joins Statewide Effort R he College of the Canyons Foundation has committed to raising $500,000 over the next two years to support the First-Year Promise program, which launched this fall and waives tuition and fees for new, full-time students during their ¿rst year of study “Our commitment to student success is exempli¿ed by the launch of the First-Year Promise program,” Chancellor Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook said. “We are very inspired by the early success of the program’s rollout and look forward to expanding the program’s reach and longevity with the help of the community.”

The foundation’s goal is off to a good start, thanks to two lead gifts of $50,000, which will create a $100,000 match opportunity. “We are extremely grateful for these lead gifts, which have set our fundraising goal on track,” said Murray Wood, chief development of¿cer.

In addition to receiving free tuition, students enroll in a one-year sequence of courses with priority registration, preceded by summer orientation. Courses are offered with the bene¿ts of open educational resources (OER) textbooks, and ongoing counseling and student support help students reach their academic goals. Student also receive a $100 voucher per semester for other supplies and instructional materials.

“The success of the First-Year Promise program would not be possible were it not for the support of the community,” said Steve Corn, chairman of the College of the Canyons Foundation Board of Directors. “The future of this innovative program looks brighter than ever.”

The program was seeded with a $750,000 grant from the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Of¿ce.

Of 51 community college districts that applied, COC was one of only 14 colleges awarded a grant through the California College Promise Innovation Grant Program.

collected during the prelaunch stage with the help of our launch coaches will be instrumental in better serving this cohort of entrepreneurial students.”

The program’s goal is to prepare students for the nuances of self-employed work, such as taxation, permits, insurance, intellectual property, legal structures, and human resources.

In order to participate, students must complete a GIG Cohort Application and attend the “GIG Economy Bootcamp” sponsored by the Small Business Development Center hosted by the college.

“Our students will be entering their pro¿les onto a variety of online platforms

epresentatives from College of the Canyons were among more than 400 education leaders, including the heads of all public education systems in California, who gathered in Sacramento as part of a statewide effort to develop strategies to improve and expand College Promise partnerships.

College Promise initiatives are part of a growing national movement to support college access and completion, especially for low- to middle-income students, creating a “college-going culture” in the communities where they exist.

“College of the Canyons is widely recognized for its commitment to institutional effectiveness, data-driven initiatives, and sustained efforts to make college more affordable for more students,” Chancellor Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook said. “We are very excited by the early success of the First-Year Promise program and look forward to partnering with the community to expand the reach and impact of the program.”

California is a national leader in the advancement of College Promise programs, with more than 50 active or announced programs under way – more than any other state.

Key to the success of such programs is the coupling of public and private resources.

Under the leadership of board chairman Steve Corn, the College of the Canyons

and competing against millions of individuals from around the world with similar skill sets,” Forrest said.

Students targeted for the program, which is a component of the larger Doing What Matters for Jobs and the Economy initiative of the Workforce and Economic Development Division of California Community Colleges, include youth, minorities, veterans and older workers in transition.

The GIG Pathways Pilot is the brainchild of Van Tan-Quinlivan, vice chancellor of workforce development for the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Of¿ce. Tan-Quinlivan recognized growth in the number of freelancers entering the economy.

Foundation has embarked on a fundraising campaign to extend the bene¿ts of First-Year Promise beyond the term of the grant. Corn was among those who attended the event in Sacramento in late August. “I’m looking forward to bringing back new ideas and information that will help us take First-Year Promise to the next level,” he said.

College affordability is a priority among all of California’s higher education institutions; the College Promise initiative offers a promising pathway to increase student success while keeping college affordable.

“Across the nation, education, business and government leaders from local communities and states are working together to develop college programs to enable students to start and complete a community college education without taking on mountains of debt,” said Dr. Martha J. Kanter, executive director of the College Promise Campaign.

“But nowhere is the pace picking up faster than in California, as local and state leaders are building and expanding free community college programs at a rapid rate,” Kanter said. “[This] meeting is a great opportunity for California’s education leaders to discuss the most effective ways to create and enhance the state’s College Promise initiatives and to make them successful and ¿nancially sustainable.”

WORFORCE STARS FROM PAGE 1

“Career education is a cornerstone of our curriculum and we are committed to continue helping our students attain the skills they need to work in high-demand ¿elds and support local companies to grow their businesses by providing the state-ofthe-art training that a strong workforce needs,” Van Hook added.

The college offers 26 career education programs, including computer applications and web technologies, computer networking, culinary arts, hotel and restaurant management, and welding technology.

The Strong Workforce Stars rankings are based on data from students who were enrolled in career education programs in

the 2013-14 academic year.

Career education programs were designated as Strong Workforce Stars if they met one or more of the following criteria: • 70 percent or more of students attain a regional living wage • 50 percent or more increase in student earnings • 90 percent or more of students report their current job is close to their ¿HOG RI VWXG\ The Strong Workforce Program is designed to create 1 million additional middle-skilled workers to boost regional economies and advance social mobility.

College Introduces More ‘Degrees with Guarantee’

T

he College of the Canyons Canyon Country campus has introduced three new associate degrees for transfer (AD-T), bringing to 21 the number of such degree programs offered by the college.

The programs give transfer students guaranteed admission to California State University (CSU) schools upon completion.

The two-year pathways are offered in online and hybrid (partly online) formats to accommodate the needs of working students.

“We are very excited to offer business administration, sociology and psychology pathways at the Canyon Country campus,” said Dr. Ryan Theule, vice president of the Canyon Country campus and grants development for the college. “As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the campus this year, we are eager to serve students with relevant degree pathways, including accelerated,

evening and weekend classes, that will help students reach their educational goals with fewer roadblocks on their path toward graduation.”

AD-T degrees were created in response to Senate Bill 1440, legislation that requires California community colleges to offer associate degrees for transfer in popular majors.

The bill also called upon the CSU system to grant priority admission to California community college students who complete AA-T or AS-T degree pathways.

While AD-T degrees do not guarantee admission to a particular CSU major or campus, they can provide students with a GPA bump when applying to a similar major that is impacted or an impacted non-local CSU school.

i

NEW AD-T PROGRAMS OFFERED AT THE CANYON COUNTRY CAMPUS:

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The AS-T degree in Business Administration teaches students how to analyze financial, economic, legal and management issues related to a business entity as required for upper-division work in a business-related major.

PSYCHOLOGY

SOCIOLOGY

The AA-T degree in Psychology provides students with an introduction to the field of behavior including the major perspectives, scientific foundations, and applied areas.

The AA-T degree in Sociology provides an introduction to the major theoretical perspectives, research methodologies, and related sub-areas associated with the field, incorporating the primary courses required for the baccalaureate degree at many four-year colleges and universities.

C

ollege of the Canyons Chancellor Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook has been named the National Pacesetter of the Year by the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations (NCMPR). The award recognizes a two-year community or technical college CEO who has demonstrated leadership and support in the area of college communications and public relations.

“I am honored to receive the National Pacesetter of the Year Award,” said Dr. Van Hook.

“Public relations and marketing are essential components of our college’s ability to create quality

and results-driven messaging that positively impacts our students and de¿nes their experience at College of the Canyons.”

Dr. Van Hook has served as CEO of the Santa Clarita Community College District since 1 88, making her the longest-serving community college CEO in California. Her longevity in that role and emphasis on effective marketing have been instrumental in creating and maintaining the college’s brand and ensuring consistent messaging across mediums.

To accommodate its growing student population, the college has increased facilities square

footage ¿ve-fold under Dr. Van Hook’s leadership, from 1 ,000 square feet on one campus to 50,000 on campuses in Valencia and Canyon Country.

“We at College of the Canyons are very fortunate to have Dr. Van Hook as a visionary and inspirational leader,” said Steve Zimmer, president of the Santa Clarita Community College District Board of Trustees. “She has been able to oversee the longterm growth of our college and widely communicate our student success story to our local community and throughout the entire state through the effective use of

public relations and marketing.”

“Dr. Van Hook has always supported effective communication on her campus and has been a leader at the state and national levels to further the mission of California’s community colleges,” said Juan Gutierrez, director of NCMPR’s District 6. “I cannot think of a more deserving person to receive this prestigious award.”

The National Pacesetter Award is presented annually to one of the seven winners of regional district awards. Dr. Van Hook was named Pacesetter of the Year for Region 6 in in late 2016.

REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE

fter the successful rollout of an automotive technology internship program offered through the City of Santa Clarita earlier this year, College of the Canyons has launched a second internship program with the city for students interested in building inspection careers.

The program, which launched in the summer, gives three building inspection students the opportunity to ride along for inspections, assist at the counter with plan-checks, and learn about customer service to experience the practical side of building codes.

“It’s been working well,” said Chuck Strong, supervising building inspector for the city. “They get to ride with seasoned building inspectors and get a glimpse of what it’s really like.

This program will get them going on the right path by helping them see what they have to know by working one-on-one with inspectors in the ¿eld.”

Through these internships facilitated by the college’s Cooperative Work Experience Education (CWEE) program, the city demonstrates a commitment to civic engagement and the value of offering opportunities for students in career-related programs.

“These internships are well thought out and include the most important element: mentoring,” said Gina Bogna, assistant dean of internships. “Mentoring is the crux of an internship that sets itself apart from internships where the student does menial tasks such as fetching cof-

For student Jennifer Turcios, it’s exactly what she was looking for to return to the workforce.

“I’m a mom who is returning back to my ¿eld, and I needed to get updated on building laws that changed in January,” said Turcios.

Turcios and other college interns are assigned to an inspector and work different construction sites each week.

The internship experience has allowed her to learn about plumbing, elec-

tricity, framing and foundation, and geology, she said.

“Everything I have learned in class, I am visually seeing it,” said Turcios.

“My professors at COC did a good job bringing real-life scenarios into the classroom. They are really well-versed and knowledgeable.”

Student and veteran Chris Delle¿eld said he appreciates how the internship provides invaluable hands-on experience from seasoned professionals.

“This is what I wanted to do since I

left the military,” said Delle¿eld. “You understand more when you are out here, to see all the stuff done in person.”

Turcios said she hopes she can repeat the internship experience for another semester. “I recommend it to anyone interested in building inspection,” she added. “The inspectors use everything as a teachable moment. Every moment they are teaching me.”
