You are invited to join us in celebrating the achievements of our inaugural cohort of the Faculty Diversity Mentorship Program. This special event will honor six dedicated mentees who have successfully completed a year-long program designed to prepare them for roles as community college faculty.

Throughout the program, participants engaged in a series of workshops during Fall 2024 and a paired teaching experience in Spring 2025. During the symposium, each mentee will present their capstone projects focused on equity in higher education.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who contributed to this program, especially to the faculty mentors—Yuliya Ritchley, Greg Hicks, Ginny Buccelli, Jason Davis, Lori Thomas, Leslie Banta, Maggie Von Vogt, and Lisa Furlong—whose guidance and support were instrumental in this program's the success.

Looking ahead, we are excited to offer this opportunity again in the 2026-2027 school year and biennially thereafter. If you know individuals in the community who are interested in teaching with us, please share this future opportunity with them.

We look forward to celebrating with you and recognizing the outstanding work of our mentees.

You are invited to attend the 52nd Annual Commencement Ceremony, which will be held at the Stadium Field on the Ukiah Campus, Friday, May 23, at 6:00 PM. Your presence makes this day even more meaningful for our graduates!
