2017-2018 REPORT TO THE
COMMUNITY
Message from the President The 2017-2018 academic year has been truly memorable. Our College and the Santa Barbara community has faced many challenges with the natural disasters we experienced this year. Despite these challenges, our community proved its resiliency by coming together to support one another. This year’s Report to the Community highlights our community efforts as well as the achievements of our dedicated faculty, staff and students. Santa Barbara City College has been a local institution since 1909. In 2018, we also celebrate another significant milestone–the Centennial celebration of adult education in Santa Barbara. The School of Extended Learning will be hosting a community garden party on September 9 at our Wake Campus to honor this rich history and tradition of educational service to our community. We hope to see you there! This year, we’ve learned not to take things for granted. We are proud of this community and proud to be part of this community. Our distinguished faculty, dedicated staff, and talented students thank you for your continued support. We remain dedicated to our community and to changing the world, one student at a time. Together forward,
Anthony E. Beebe, Ph.D., Ed.D. Superintendent/President

The Board of Trustees maintains a commitment to Student Access and Success for all students, which is making a multigenerational impact on our community. We continue to stand behind our mission to provide a diverse learning environment by supporting programs and services for our youngest students at just four months of age in our Orfalea Early Learning Center, our aspiring
Dual Enrollment students, those enrolled through local High School Academies, our own Middle College, Main Campus, and now the School of Extended Learning. The Board continues to support local needs by focusing on efforts that ensure our community is informed, involved, and connected. The pages that follow highlight the various

ways Santa Barbara City College continues to lead, innovate, and invest in teaching and learning. Our public service to Santa Barbara City College is a collective investment we share with the many community partners. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, thank you for your commitment to supporting your local community college.

SBCC’S MISSION STATEMENT As a public community college dedicated to the success of each student... Santa Barbara City College provides students a diverse learning environment that inspires curiosity and discovery, promotes global responsibility and fosters opportunity for all.
SBCC’S VISION STATEMENT Santa Barbara City College strives to build a socially conscious community where knowledge and respect empower individuals to transform our world.
NEWLY APPOINTED GOLETA TRUSTEE In February of this year, the SBCC Board of Trustees voted to appoint Robert Miller to fill the vacancy for Trustee Area 2—Goleta, replacing Dr. Marianne Kugler, who resigned from the Board on January 1. Miller is a City of Goleta Planning Commissioner, a member of the Westside Goleta Coalition, a steering committee member for The Goodland Coalition, president of his neighborhood HOA, and a volunteer for the Santa Barbara and Ventura County Superior Courts. He will serve on the Board until the next regular election is held in November 2018, to fill the seat for the remainder of the term (through 2020).
“President Beebe and each of the other Board members have helped me learn about the important issues facing SBCC. I have met some impressive, first rate persons in the administration. I have been blown away by several amazing, outstanding faculty members. And most of all, I have enjoyed meeting highly motivated students who tell me how SBCC has changed their lives.” — Robert Miller, Trustee
ALL IN A BOARD’S WORK
The SBCC Board of Trustees achieved numerous milestones supporting the College this year. The Board continued to work on student-centered initiatives such as the implementation of Guided Pathways and the first year of The School of Extended Learning, while also continuing to support equity initiatives campus-wide. The Board also faced tough decisions, including implementing a five-year fiscal projection to balance the budget. A Workforce Reduction Through Attrition Plan (WRAP) was adopted to carefully manage staffing levels to best meet the needs of the College. Through the Board’s guidance and support, the College has adopted an Enrollment Management Plan that will manage and minimize impacts to our campus and community. These efforts have resulted in a path toward eliminating the College’s structural deficit in the next two years.

STEM STUDENT LANDS INTERNSHIP AT NASA While most of her fellow SBCC students attended their Spring Semester classes here in Santa Barbara, Isabel Agundis, a Mechanical Engineering major, enjoyed an educational experience of a different kind: an internship at NASA. The opportunity provided her with hands-on, mentored experiences and professional activities that contributed directly to the execution of NASA’s ongoing missions. Of the 80 students selected to participate, Isabel was the only one representing a community college. “I never thought that getting an internship would allow me to be this close to all the technology and research that is being developed, and allow me to interact with those who have accomplished so many great things,” said Agundis.
SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY IN DISASTER SBCC was glad to offer classrooms and outdoor space for Montecito Union School (MUS) students and their teachers, evacuated from their campus due to flooding caused by the post-Thomas Fire debris flows in early January. In addition, SBCC served as a location for the both the Red Cross Shelter and Fire Camp for first responders during the winter break. The College was honored to open its doors to assist first responders and the community.
COMMUNICATION STUDENT AWARDED NATIONAL HONOR Communication student Abigail Perry was selected as the 2017 Sigma Chi Eta National Student of the Year by the National Communication Association. She accepted the award in November at the 103rd annual NCA Convention in Dallas, Texas, where she represented SBCC on a panel about service learning. Abigal was also elected to the National Student Advisory Board for the Sigma Chi Eta Communication Honor Society.

DISASTER RELIEF EFFORTS
Montecito Union School students attended their classes at SBCC for five days during evacuation.
In the wake of the Thomas Fire followed by January’s devastating debris flow, Montecito Union School—which fell within the mandatory evacuation area and was without utilities—needed a temporary location. When asked if they could come to SBCC, the administration’s response was a proud, “yes, however we can help!” From January 18-24, the Montecito Mustangs found a sense of normalcy and a safe environment for teaching and learning on SBCC’s East Campus.
“Everyone at Montecito Union School thanks Dr. Beebe and the big-hearted SBCC family. They helped our Mustangs stand tall during some challenging times, and we are so appreciative!” Left to right: Santa Barbara City College Trustees Marty Blum and Marsha Croninger, SBCC President Anthony E.

SBCC FACULTY MEMBER SHELTERS ANIMALS DURING DISASTER SBCC has many staff and faculty who serve the community in countless ways. Then there’s Physical Health Education Associate Professor Kathy O’Connor, who’s in a class by herself. As a founding member of the Santa Barbara Equine Assistance & Evacuation Team, Kathy’s efforts serving the disaster rescue needs of animals and their owners have been crucial to the Santa Barbara community and beyond. During the Thomas Fire in December and the debris flows areas in January, Kathy and her volunteer team of animal advocates set up a shelter at the Earl Warren Showgrounds to house evacuated animals. Kathy and team have a history of rescuing animals displaced by local fires and this time they sheltered a record amount of pigs, chickens, llamas, alpacas, cows and about 600 horses and donkeys for nearly a month. “It was like a little zoo,” Kathy says. “We took care of animals for owners who couldn’t,” she says, herself a fire/flood evacuee, along with her horses. “You often have horses and animals who are nervous wrecks … We have to maintain our composure; we can’t get excited or angry. Our job is to calm their owners down and tell them not to worry ... we’ll take care of them.” Kathy slept on a cot in a trailer at Earl Warren for 26 nights while watching after the animals, feeding them and cleaning their stalls. On the day of the flood, Kathy and her team were sent to find an abandoned horse that was left in the devastated Hot Springs area of Montecito. “Houses strewn everywhere. Rocks, boulders … it looked like a war zone,” she recalls. After a failed attempt at accessing the area, they returned the next day and miraculously found the horse.

“His name was Odie—an older horse who belonged to this couple for a long time. The owners were crying. Very sweet. Those are the things!” How did Kathy balance her SBCC work life during all of this? “I didn’t,” she says. “We were on Winter break so my only issue was getting my grades done … no small issue for me. You always think, well, you can’t be actually working 24/7, there’s got to be some time when you’re not actually doing stuff … but that really never happened for me.” Kathy found herself sitting in a cold at trailer finishing her grades on her laptop at midnight. “I finally got them in. I was late, but you know, I felt what I was doing was important.”
RED CROSS AND FIRE SHELTER For the first time, SBCC opened its main campus to serve as a Red Cross evacuation center. The Red Cross hosted more than 80 evacuees in the Sports Pavillion at one time. The college also offered shelter to hundreds of firefighters from outside the area in the Campus Center Cafeteria.

SBCC’s Food Pantry on East Campus is staffed with volunteers.
HELPING THOSE IN NEED To better address the needs of students and neighbors in need, SBCC incorporated a new-and-improved food pantry and regularly scheduled food share distributions on campus this year. Both efforts are supplied largely by the Santa Barbara Food Bank, who routinely stocks the pantry with fresh local produce, canned goods, beverages, and non-perishable items. These items include canned food, eggs, bread, fruits and vegetables. Operated by SBCC staff and student volunteers, the food pantry is open four days a week and serves roughly 250 participants a day, while the food share distributes to around 325 participants twice a month.
“We are building a community that is inclusive of everyone. We strive to ensure all students feel welcomed and safe on our campus.” — Dr. Luis Giraldo, Director of Equity, Diversity and Cultural Competency

Kathy Molloy accepted the Express to Success Exemplary Program Award from California Community Colleges Board of Governors.
EXPRESS TO SUCCESS: THE FAST TRACK TO SUCCESS In January, the California Community Colleges Board of Governors awarded the college’s Express to Success (ESP) program its Exemplary Program Award. The ESP program provides students who assess at one or two years below college level with tutoring and resources they need to finish their math and English classes more quickly.
“We very much appreciate this recognition of our dedicated Express to Success instructors, counselors and staff, who work so hard to ensure the success of our students.” — Kathy Molloy, Dean of Educational Programs
FACULTY SPOTLIGHT: MARGARET PROTHERO In the beginning of Spring, Margaret Prothero, Department Chair of English Skills, was appointed to serve as the Faculty Coordinator for the Guided Pathways initiative. “The goal of Guided Pathways,” she explains, “is to identify barriers to student

39TH ANNUAL FACULTY LECTURE: ANNE REDDING For her lecture titled “Crime Across the Curriculum,” Anne Redding drew a large crowd to the Garvin Theatre in March for a riveting journey through time, pop culture and the judicial system. As Department Chair and Professor in the School of Justice Studies at SBCC, Professor Redding illustrated how issues of crime and justice have always cut across all disciplines and all aspects of life, explaining that stories about crime are human storytelling at the most basic level; they show us the worst—and the best—of what humans can be. Each year fellow faculty, staff and students select the faculty lecturer, the highest honor bestowed on a member of the SBCC faculty. The honor distinguishes a full-time faculty member for excellence in teaching and overall contributions to SBCC. Professor Redding, known for her enthusiasm and humor in the classroom, has a special affinity for her students, having attended a community college herself. “I know that in the long run my students won’t remember everything I cover in class, but I hope it’s a launching pad where I can light the spark that inspires them to keep learning.”
“Education never ends, Watson. It is a series of lessons with the greatest for the last.” — Sherlock Holmes, The Red Circle
FACULTY LEADERSHIP IN OUR COMMUNITY As a result of newly implemented district elections for the Santa Barbara City Council, one SBCC Adjunct Faculty member jumped into the race. In November 2017, Kristen Sneddon, Earth and Planetary Sciences Instructor, was elected to represent District 4 on the Santa Barbara City Council. She is just one example of community leadership from our faculty.
“I am honored to serve our community on the Santa Barbara City Council. As a geology instructor, I get to teach students about our unique and incredible Santa Barbara landscape. As a member of City Council, I work to preserve these resources.

Chicano Secret Service performs within Rafa Esparza’s ‘for you and the sky’ exhibit.
ARTIST RESIDENCY: RAFA ESPARZA EXHIBIT CHALLENGES HISTORY Built during a five-week artist residency, the “for you and the sky” exhibit challenged the way the history of the mission system has been taught in California. Artist Rafa Esparza observed that, “Stepping onto the gallery patio and realizing that the Santa Barbara Mission is in clear view from where we’re working is even more impactful. In close proximity to this contested site where indigenous slave labor was used to make the bricks to build the Mission, we’re now working collectively with the same material to build a space where we can imagine our own structures and narratives.” Indeed, he says, “Working with adobe is, for me, working with land. These adobe bricks are a way of furthering not only ideas about land, but also about memory and race.”

STUDENT FILM SHOWN AT THE SANTA BARBARA INTERNATIONAL FILM FEST “Virtually Yours,” a short film written and produced by students in SBCC’s Film Production Capstone class, was selected to be shown at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival at as part of an evening featuring six short narrative films. The student film was selected for festival competition – in which only seven percent of submitted films were accepted – alongside of those produced by professional filmmakers. The SBCC entry was the only student film selected.
SBCC MUSIC DEPARTMENT Highlights included the SBCC Symphony’s performance of Gustave Holst’s “The Planets;” the Concert Band’s world premier of Cody Anderson’s “Tales of an Adventurer,” guest-conducted by the composer himself; and SBCC’s New World Jazz Ensemble’s Combo Concert featuring jazz woodwind legend Katisse Buckingham at Fe Bland Forum. In addition, the Quire of Voyces performed several concerts.
The 18 students involved on the project put in hundreds of hours, gaining essential experience in every aspect involved in the production of a film, including budgeting, location management, lighting, sound, music, makeup, costuming, writing, directing and editing. Curtis Bieber, Chair of the Film and Television Production Department, shared his excitement. “I am pleased that we have been accepted into the highly competitive Santa Barbara International Film Festival for three years in a row,” said Bieber.

ENGINEERING STUDENTS CAL POLY BOUND Three good friends and Santa Barbara City College engineering majors gave each other the support they needed to get into their dream school, Cal Poly. Daniel Gonzalez, a 23-year-old chemical and environmental engineering major, Celina Lazaro, a 22-year-old computer engineering major, and Fernando Estevez, a 22-year-old computer engineering major, all found out they have been accepted to Cal Poly and are making plans to move in together. Daniel, Celina and Fernando befriended each other in their classes and they all joined the MESA program, which gave them a place to find the tutoring and mentorship they needed. They unanimously agreed that their success is because of
Fernando Estevez, 22
Celina Lazaro, 22
the support network that MESA has given them. “If you’re part of MESA, you’re part of the MESA family – it’s wonderful!” said Daniel. “You can go in there and get anything you need from tutoring to moral support, to talking to a friend and having a safe space. I love it.” However, academia didn’t always come easy for these three friends. Celina and Daniel both struggle with dyslexia and Fernando, a DACA student, said that before he had a support system at SBCC he was anti-social and didn’t think about doing extracurricular activities. “People think, ‘oh it’s all about succeeding and that’s how you’re going to make it,’ but I think it’s more about the progress of not giving up, that’s when you’re actually going to make it,” said Celina. After hard work and late nights of studying at Denny’s, these fourth and fifth year
engineering students have collectively worked on projects that include solar panel construction, drone construction, portable entry systems, robotics, NASA flight research and programing for the 777 Boeing plane. They have each been involved in numerous internships and are also extremely involved in SBCC’s chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. Celina, Fernando and Daniel will continue studying together as they transition to Cal Poly and find a home suitable for the three of them in San Luis Obispo. Daniel said they will give Celina her own room and him and Fernando can share. “We have a really strong friendship,” said Celina. “I could picture myself starting a business with them. They both have the same motivation and the same thirst and drive to move forward. It’s really nice knowing that you’re not alone.”
The California Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) program is a statewide initiative whose purpose is to guide diverse students from underrepresented backgrounds into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers.

puter science. It helps me feel like I can make my dreams a reality,” said Michelle Sandstrom. That sentiment was echoed by several other students when they spoke of their experience afterward. They were in agreement that being a woman in the still male-dominated field of computer science and technology can feel lonely and isolating at times. “The Grace Hopper Conference showed us there is a whole community out there, there’s a place for us,” noted Selah Argent. Hearing the stories of the keynote speakers and the obstacles they encountered earlier in their careers served as motivation for the students to persevere toward their goals. “Sometimes I still struggle with math and think maybe this isn’t for me,” commented Olivia Mora. “But these role models convinced me that with hard work and dedication I can succeed,” she continued. The conference also provided students with a glimpse into the latest technological advances in such areas as cyber security, artificial intelligence and robotics. The SBCC contingent wasn’t on the
receiving end of learning in every case, however. Michelle Sandstrom and Selah Argent demonstrated their work on wearable technology to university students and professionals from Microsoft, Twitter and Dell. When asked if attending the conference had influenced their plans for the future, the students were unanimous: absolutely. Selah Argent reported, “Before attending GHC in 2016 I was unsure if I’d be able to find a job in tech. Going to the conference inspired me to stick with it, and now I’ll be interning at a company that has a $9.5 billion annual tech budget and is working with cutting edge technology.” The trip to Florida and conference attendance would not have been possible without student enthusiasm, faculty support and grant funding according to Mathematics Professor Bronwen Moore. Ongoing support of that kind is necessary to ensure that SBCC can continue to attend year after year. When asked “How would you sum up the Grace Hopper Celebration experience?” student response came back, “Life changing.”

The Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) was founded in 1994 with the goal of inspiring and connecting women in technology from leading academic institutions and Fortune 500 companies. It is now the world’s largest annual gathering of women technologists. For three days the young women from SBCC attended talks by keynote speakers, participated in learning workshops, had the opportunity to talk with recruiters and submit their resumes at the career fair, all the while networking with other students and working professionals. “It is inspiring to be able to see successful, intelligent, very cool women in com-

When I was growing up, there was never a time that I didn’t assume I would go to college. Looking back, it’s not hard to understand why. Both of my parents were college graduates, as were nearly all of my aunts, uncles, and grandparents. My mother was an elementary school teacher, my uncle a college professor, and my aunt a high school teacher. My father was a juvenile probation officer, high school counselor, and occasional community college instructor in his retirement. All of this created an environment of expectation and support for my brother and me to pursue higher education. It is now widely recognized that students and their families begin making decisions and setting expectations–both consciously and unconsciously–about college from early childhood. For some students, support and encouragement can be found at every turn. But for many others, barriers are the norm and higher education seems out of reach. Education researchers, advocates, and practitioners continue to point out the glaring inequalities in educational achievement among students across lines of race, gender, economic status, and parental education levels. A century-long commitment to investment in our public education system has produced one of the world’s great education systems, but not all students are equally supported, nor are they prepared to take advantage of it. It is clear that our community colleges–and great ones like SBCC specifically– hold the key to extending educational opportunity to all, meeting students where they are, and providing the pathways necessary to ensure all students can thrive. The distance between opportunity for some and opportunity for all is frequently travelled with the support of donors–those who see that with just a bit more support or the removal of a seemingly insurmountable barrier–anything is possible. Philanthropy is simply the act of putting our resources to work in service of our values and passions. If we believe that education is the key to personal achievement, thriving communities, and economic advancement (and I certainly do), then the path is clear. We must invest. Santa Barbara City College has been a community treasure for generations, and for the past forty-two years the SBCC Foundation has been the bridge between the college and its community of investors. With your support, there is nothing we can’t achieve for our students, our families, and our community. Thank you for making it possible.

SBCC PROMISE In Fall 2016, the SBCC Foundation launched the SBCC Promise, an ambitious new effort to make our community’s college accessible and affordable to all local students who have recently completed their secondary education within the SBCC district. The idea of a “college promise” is not new, but the SBCC Promise is revolutionary in that it is comprehensive (covers all required fees, books’ and supplies),
robust (covers two full years), and open access (not restricted based on past academic performance). Eligibility is determined by a student’s high school location, year of graduation, and commitment to the SBCC Promise eligibility requirements (details at sbccpromise.org). Research on college achievement correlates a student’s chance of success in college with early enrollment, full-time student status, and access to academic counseling and support. The SBCC Promise is specifically designed to incentivize these three elements. It is also an exemplary model of a public/ private partnership, as 100 percent of the funding for the SBCC Promise is privately raised from donors to the SBCC Foundation. The SBCC Promise reinforces our community college’s commitment to our local community, and strengthens our region’s economy, neighborhoods, and families.

History of Adult Education at SBCC
Pearl Chase, a Santa Barbara civic leader, was appointed chairwoman of our local Americanization committee and recommended to the Santa Barbara Board of Education that citizenship and English classes be offered to foreign-born community members. The recommendation was accepted, and on April 1, 1918, there were 81 students enrolled in the new “Evening Program.” These classes grew rapidly and over the

GEOLOGY TAKES ON SIERRAS In October, the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences held a five-day field course where 70 students had the opportunity to study and interpret the geologic features and history of the Eastern Sierra Nevada region. For over 50 years, Earth and Planetary Sciences has held field courses in the Eastern Sierra Nevada and other regions, including Death Valley, the Western Sierra Nevada, the Colorado Plateau (Utah and Northern Arizona) and Hawaii. The field courses give students hands-on experience where they get to see rock formations in their natural state.
“There is a saying, ‘The best geologist is the one that has seen the most rocks.’ Students in our program accumulate 60 days worth of field experience.”

BLACK STUDENT UNION (BSU) VISITS HOWARD UNIVERSITY The Black Student Union, a group for any and all SBCC students interested in black history, has become a force to be reckoned with this year. Under the leadership of student/ activist Saturne Tchabong, the club’s activities included a field trip to Washington, D.C. to attend the Howard University Homecoming in October. The trip, funded by a combination of donations from the Student Equity Committee, The SBCC Foundation, and private donors, afforded BSU students an opportunity to visit one of the most prestigious historically black colleges and universities in the country. “I’ve never experienced anything like it; such a strong sense of community,” said Ashley Velasquez, a philosophy major and member of the SBCC women’s volleyball team. “It is important to be around people who look like you,” said Terrance Johnson, an interior design major. “It

was an emotional experience to be surrounded by so much black excellence.” Other BSU events have included a local pop-up art exhibit and music production workshop, and film screenings focusing on the black experience (in partnership with Santa Barbara Young Black Professionals). The visit inspired future goals and dreams for the entire group and they
encourage SBCC to see that the tradition continues in years to come, with visits to other Historically Black Colleges and Universities in addition to Howard. Looking forward to a career in medicine, Tiffany Love envisions the day when she will come back to SBCC as a doctor and be able to say, “Look what we started…now it’s our turn to give back.”

WEST CAMPUS CENTER RECEIVES COVETED LEED PLATINUM TITLE Santa Barbara City College’s commitment to sustainability was hailed in March when the U.S. Green Business Council awarded the new West Campus Center LEED Platinum certification, the highest possible level. LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is the most widely used green building rating system in the world, providing a framework to create healthy, highly efficient and cost-saving green buildings. The achievement of LEED Platinum certification was the result of an integrated team, experienced and knowledgeable consultants, the pursuit and implementation of numerous sustainability measures, and the dedicated vision of SBCC. Construction of the West Campus Center was made possible by community support with the passage of the Measure V Bond in 2008. The community’s investment allowed the College to provide modern classrooms for students and the ability to remove aging portable buildings on the East Campus.
The West Campus Center sits next to the Garvin Theatre.
“The fact that SBCC’s first LEED project earned Platinum has made us all very proud.” — Lyndsay Maas, Vice President

MAKING HISTORY
2017-2018 COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER Alberto Lule fell in love with art while in prison from 2003-2016. Realizing that art and education were to be his salvation, he enrolled at SBCC as a Studio Art major as soon as he was paroled. During his four semesters as a full-time student, he also worked at the Atkinson Gallery, where another passion developed: the curatorial side of art. Taking part in the curation of shows, he was inspired by artists such as Devon Tsuno and Rafa Esparza. Alberto uses his art as a means of communication about his immigrant roots and the long term effects that California prisons leave on inmates and their families. Proud to have been chosen to be the keynote speaker for the SBCC graduating class of 2018, Alberto has been accepted to UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, UC Los Angeles and UC Berkeley for the Fall 2018 Semester.
