21
00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:09.220
Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay.

22
00:02:09.220 --> 00:02:14.409
Fisher, Tracy: I happen to see the little square that's appear appear, and it says someone is in the lobby

23
00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:18.729
Anderson-McDade, Meriel: I? I can see that, too, but we're on zoom

24
00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:24.909
Fisher, Tracy: Right. But I wonder if someone is? I think someone is actually in that

25
00:02:25.443 --> 00:02:25.769
Hartley, Mark: That's true.

26
00:02:26.570 --> 00:02:38.580
Hartley, Mark: I will tell you. When I clicked on the little link there was. There's multiple links, and one of them went to the teams, and I'm like, I don't like teams. So I checked to confirm there was a zoom, and that's how I got on here

27
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.729
Goldware, Rebeccah: So I just sent a note on teams. We'll see what happens.

28

Goldware, Rebeccah: So we're doing, intros Adrian. I just saw you jump on. If you would do a hello

29
00:02:51.690 --> 00:02:52.959

Grayson, Adrienne: Hello, everyone. Adrian Grayson, Associate Dean of Educational Partnerships.

31
00:03:00.830 --> 00:03:07.639
Goldware, Rebeccah: And then I think that just leaves my team. Oh, Amy, I'm not sure which college you're at. Sorry

32
00:03:10.983 --> 00:03:11.830
DeArcos, Amy: At rcc

33
00:03:12.030 --> 00:03:18.989
Goldware, Rebeccah: Awesome. Thank you, I Chris stepped away. But Chris is the executive director for strategic communications.

34
00:03:18.990 --> 00:03:19.550
Goldware, Rebeccah: I'm back.

35
00:03:19.770 --> 00:03:20.890
Goldware, Rebeccah: Oh, he's back

36
00:03:21.070 --> 00:03:21.565
Clarke, Chris: My.

37
00:03:22.260 --> 00:03:22.760
Goldware, Rebeccah: Go ahead!

38
00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:25.529
Clarke, Chris: Sorry about that. My computer all of a sudden

39
00:03:26.260 --> 00:03:31.989
Clarke, Chris: blew out a bunch of desk dust and shut down. So I had to restart it. And

40
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.661
Clarke, Chris: yeah, that was kind of scary. But

41
00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:41.710
Clarke, Chris: anyway, I'm the executive Director of External Relations and Strategic Communications for the district

42
00:03:42.030 --> 00:03:43.859
Goldware, Rebeccah: Awesome. And then, Renee, if you want to chime in

43
00:03:48.370 --> 00:03:57.849
Vigil, Renee: Sorry, finding the mute button with everybody squares. I'm Renee Vigil. I'm the executive admin for the Vice Chancellor of Institutional Advancement. Thank you all for being here on time, too. I appreciate you guys

44
00:03:58.390 --> 00:03:59.390
Goldware, Rebeccah: Very much.

45
00:03:59.750 --> 00:04:06.447
Goldware, Rebeccah: So. This is a new Dspc committee. This is the 1st time we're formally meeting. So thank you.

46
00:04:07.250 --> 00:04:32.330
Goldware, Rebeccah: we'll go through the agenda, which hopefully, everybody can see. This group has not yet, I don't believe, seen the charge. This charge was drafted and pushed through Dspc, so I'd like to get consensus and understanding about what the collective is doing, and then we can keep rolling through the agenda. So I'll give a minute so everybody can read that that paragraph, and we can see if there's anything we need to adjust

47
00:05:12.950 --> 00:05:16.040
Goldware, Rebeccah: questions, concerns, hesitations.

48
00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:27.050
Goldware, Rebeccah: This isn't your only crack at it, either. We can come back to it.

49
00:05:38.310 --> 00:05:47.360
Goldware, Rebeccah: If there's consensus from the group. I would like to take action on this, so that we are in at least formal agreement that this is where we're we're working

50
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.229
Clarke, Chris: I'll move that we accept the charge. As stated

51
00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:56.720
Goldware, Rebeccah: Thank you, Chris.

52
00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:08.349
Hartley, Mark: I'll second it so we can have discussion

53
00:06:08.350 --> 00:06:11.020
Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, what what questions, comments.

54
00:06:11.020 --> 00:06:13.709
Hartley, Mark: So for me, you know, with.

55
00:06:14.020 --> 00:06:16.869
Hartley, Mark: So there's a committee.

56
00:06:17.460 --> 00:06:35.629
Hartley, Mark: and I'm trying to be positive. Committees don't always get a whole lot done. So I'm just wondering like, is there an end goal to this group, you know, like great, that we want to do outreach and engage? But is there something. Is there a problem we're trying to solve, I guess, would be the question

57
00:06:35.630 --> 00:06:37.130
Goldware, Rebeccah: Tracy would like to answer that

58
00:06:40.993 --> 00:06:41.380
Fisher, Tracy: Do you

59
00:06:41.380 --> 00:06:43.760
Goldware, Rebeccah: Be how we both run to answer your question. Mark

60
00:06:44.145 --> 00:06:47.229
Hartley, Mark: Yeah, thank you. Mark for that.

61
00:06:47.580 --> 00:06:49.060
Fisher, Tracy: For that comment.

62
00:06:49.801 --> 00:06:52.208
Fisher, Tracy: So I think it's

63
00:06:54.340 --> 00:06:59.100
Fisher, Tracy: I think I just want to start with saying that, you know, recognizing

64
00:06:59.634 --> 00:07:05.305
Fisher, Tracy: and I think I can. I'm going to say Rebecca and I both here recognize that.

65
00:07:07.640 --> 00:07:14.920
Fisher, Tracy: We don't want to waste anyone's time. We don't want this. We don't want the committee to

66
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:25.787
Fisher, Tracy: you know, die by committee or from committee, and at the same time

67
00:07:27.770 --> 00:07:33.630
Fisher, Tracy: If if this committee can at the very least

68
00:07:37.370 --> 00:07:46.040
Fisher, Tracy: If the committee allows for better communication across the district, about what

69
00:07:46.330 --> 00:07:55.650
Fisher, Tracy: the colleges are doing, what the district is doing, and how all of those entities are engaging with the broader community.

70
00:07:55.930 --> 00:07:58.835
Fisher, Tracy: I think that's where

71
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.219
Hartley, Mark: I'd be really happy to see that

72
00:08:03.878 --> 00:08:05.750
Fisher, Tracy: Just in terms of

73
00:08:06.310 --> 00:08:21.480
Fisher, Tracy: so it's so. It's not turning into something where people are dreading to come to this space, but rather a space where it's like, oh, these are some interesting things happening. Could we have some cross hatchings?

74
00:08:22.030 --> 00:08:25.900
Fisher, Tracy: You know. Is there a possibility of that? Or

75
00:08:26.960 --> 00:08:30.889
Fisher, Tracy: you know collaborations cross hatchings. However, you want to think about it.

76
00:08:31.020 --> 00:08:36.400
Fisher, Tracy: either amongst the colleges, the district, and the community

77
00:08:36.400 --> 00:08:37.030
Hartley, Mark: Got it

78
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:48.623
Fisher, Tracy: So I think that's but I really hear what you're saying, and not to get into kind of a longer not to kind of drag this out. But,

79
00:08:49.889 --> 00:09:08.919
Fisher, Tracy: we're really trying with this committee again, because it didn't have a lot of traction. There was some difficult, I think, traction with it. What? Maybe 2 years ago, where Rebecca myself and Dr. Parish Clark

80
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:14.019
Fisher, Tracy: we're together with, you know, and really trying to

81
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.729
Fisher, Tracy: bring it. Give it some life.

82
00:09:19.069 --> 00:09:19.919
Fisher, Tracy: But

83
00:09:21.479 --> 00:09:35.829
Fisher, Tracy: yeah, I think I'll just maybe I'll just stop there to. Not like go on about it. But I think I completely hear you. And I think we're going to do our best to really respect everybody's time. But also think about ways we can make this committee.

84
00:09:36.459 --> 00:09:38.839
Fisher, Tracy: you know, actually be something that's

85
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.369
Fisher, Tracy: kind of living and breathing, and not just stale

86
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:45.390
Hartley, Mark: Rebecca.

87
00:09:46.090 --> 00:09:47.440
Hartley, Mark: That's good. Thanks.

88
00:09:47.440 --> 00:10:07.690
Goldware, Rebeccah: I I don't think I don't think we're necessarily solving a specific issue, but having some coordination. I don't want this to be a report out, because that is my opinion, a waste of time. But I do want to leave time so that you all can share on any time that we're talking. I anticipate.

89
00:10:10.020 --> 00:10:26.690
Goldware, Rebeccah: I anticipate that we'll meet once a primary semester if there's a reason to do it in between. But in theory that's when the work is happening at your campuses. And this committee is in theory guiding some things. It is not driving the work that you're having. So.

90
00:10:27.560 --> 00:10:36.580
Goldware, Rebeccah: Laura, I see your note about adding best practices. Can you give me a little bit more about what that means relative to this committee? Because I agree with you in general.

91
00:10:36.820 --> 00:10:48.810
Dunphy, Laura: Yeah. So I I think I'm kind of understanding what Marcus is is getting to is for a vision of what the main goal would be. And what Tracy was saying was kind of that

92
00:10:48.810 --> 00:11:13.450
Dunphy, Laura: is really an exciting space to be in where we're sharing great things that are happening. We're trying to do this. We're all in silos. We're trying to do the same thing across faculty. We're having such great outcomes with faculty. But we aren't hearing each other's stories. And so I think it's a great opportunity. And what we're trying to do is what are some best practices that we're doing at our college right for just faculty.

93
00:11:13.450 --> 00:11:26.920
Dunphy, Laura: And so if we could even create a document, we're sharing it. And maybe that is something we can pull away from. It is some best practices that we can bring back, and so we're not reinventing the wheel

94
00:11:27.370 --> 00:11:27.930
Goldware, Rebeccah: Really

95
00:11:28.170 --> 00:11:36.595
Goldware, Rebeccah: that, and that would be the ideal thing that would come from this is that you all get to coordinate and share in a space. So

96
00:11:37.890 --> 00:11:47.590
Goldware, Rebeccah: based on that does the charge. Because I I agree. And we can add topics for discussion, etc, as we go. Does the charge look good to move forward on

97
00:11:49.520 --> 00:11:52.050
Clarke, Chris: One of the reasons that I that I

98
00:11:52.550 --> 00:11:55.470
Clarke, Chris: wanted to move forward with this charge is just because

99
00:11:55.990 --> 00:12:06.020
Clarke, Chris: I think that should be one of our next paths as a group is to set goals right. And and we have an objective here that

100
00:12:06.280 --> 00:12:09.800
Clarke, Chris: to engage with the community on civic and social justice issues.

101
00:12:09.910 --> 00:12:16.579
Clarke, Chris: But beyond that, I think it's up to us to decide on what our goals are and and to kinda

102
00:12:16.760 --> 00:12:26.859
Clarke, Chris: hash through that and talk about what the goal should be. One thing comes immediately to mind is, as far as far as civic engagement is to

103
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:32.200
Clarke, Chris: get people to vote in the general elections right and

104
00:12:32.400 --> 00:12:44.700
Clarke, Chris: helping with that whole process. But I don't know if that really serves the social justice side of this, or if you know, so I think that deserves some conversation. But that's 1 of the things that I think we could consider

105
00:12:45.220 --> 00:12:49.020
Goldware, Rebeccah: And to that point I also want to be cautious of.

106
00:12:49.170 --> 00:13:00.780
Goldware, Rebeccah: There are things that the colleges do, and then there are things that the district office can reinforce. And then there's this collective that can make general guidance suggestions that are taken or not.

107
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:08.869
Goldware, Rebeccah: So and there will be in theory, some policy discussions. So in fact, we'll get into one of them on the

108
00:13:09.365 --> 00:13:12.129
Goldware, Rebeccah: late acknowledgement piece in a second. So

109
00:13:12.640 --> 00:13:15.480
Goldware, Rebeccah: if we're good with the charge. I'd like to take a vote.

110
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:19.429
Goldware, Rebeccah: There's a 1st and a second. Is there any more discussion before I do that?

111
00:13:22.210 --> 00:13:26.480
Goldware, Rebeccah: So all those in favor if you can like thumbs up or raise your hand.

112
00:13:30.180 --> 00:13:32.460
Goldware, Rebeccah: I think we have everybody.

113
00:13:32.770 --> 00:13:35.599
Goldware, Rebeccah: Are there any abstentions

114
00:13:36.580 --> 00:13:38.420
Hartley, Mark: Or any notes.

115
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:44.609
Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, thank you. Rene, you check the agenda down

116
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.229
Hartley, Mark: That I got right away. Let me interrupt

117
00:13:51.230 --> 00:13:52.050
Goldware, Rebeccah: Memorized.

118
00:13:52.050 --> 00:13:53.450
Hartley, Mark: I don't

119
00:13:54.850 --> 00:13:58.969
Vigil, Renee: I did it so you guys could see each other while you were discussing. Sorry. That's why

120
00:13:59.870 --> 00:14:26.090
Goldware, Rebeccah: So the next item on the agenda is really a discussion item specifically on land acknowledgement, a little bit of background because I don't. And this will be a part of conversation of what the colleges are doing. And then, if there's anything structurally, this group wants to discuss, recommend no likely outcomes today unless it's to do nothing. The district has gone through an internal process. I would not say it is the

121
00:14:26.140 --> 00:14:48.539
Goldware, Rebeccah: quote unquote, correct from the tribal communities process. But we do have went through a process with a decent amount of people, and came up with a land acknowledgement. I think the draft was created by an assortment of faculty, and from all 3 colleges that put together what is now currently read at board meetings.

122
00:14:49.230 --> 00:15:10.979
Goldware, Rebeccah: I am unaware of any other formal structure in terms of how we, as an institution, use or don't use the land acknowledgement. And when that is something that I think that this group could see, and my staff can draft it and bring it to the collective at a future meeting. If that's the request, it would be my recommendation.

123
00:15:11.800 --> 00:15:37.030
Goldware, Rebeccah: because, for example, if your colleges are going to have a land acknowledgement, who's going to do those? Where are you going to use it? Things like that? That would be that in theory, could be a topic for this group. It's on the agenda for today, for discussion. It was, I think, more of a hot topic about a year ago. I know a lot of people are doing it. It's a question of where and when to choose. So I leave that just

124
00:15:37.260 --> 00:15:41.330
Goldware, Rebeccah: general for thoughts. Tracy. I don't know if there's anything specific you want to add

125
00:15:47.504 --> 00:15:51.770
Fisher, Tracy: No, I don't think so. I mean, I think you I mean, you really

126
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.739
Fisher, Tracy: set it in the sense of like. When do the colleges use it and

127
00:15:59.930 --> 00:16:05.870
Fisher, Tracy: and I guess one question would be, and that. And this is not for this group to necessarily answer today, but just like

128
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:21.760
Fisher, Tracy: you know, if the since the district is using it at board meetings, like, how often do the colleges actually, you know, implement, actually, you know using it. How how often is implemented, basically

129
00:16:22.420 --> 00:16:30.309
Goldware, Rebeccah: Are any of the call? Or do any of you know, if your colleges have a separate acknowledgement, if they're using it, if there's a desire

130
00:16:30.880 --> 00:16:37.730
Goldware, Rebeccah: which committee, if there was a committee, it would go through once

131
00:16:37.730 --> 00:16:45.939
Dunphy, Laura: Clarify one clarification question, where is the Rccd acknowledgement house like? Where is that

132
00:16:46.750 --> 00:16:49.690
Goldware, Rebeccah: I think it's on the agenda. I think

133
00:16:50.545 --> 00:16:55.610
Dunphy, Laura: But where do others find it? Where do the other colleges find that information

134
00:16:55.900 --> 00:16:56.919
Goldware, Rebeccah: No, no! Hold on! Just a second

135
00:16:57.010 --> 00:17:08.930
Dunphy, Laura: So we're we're dealing with. This, too, is having one place where all the documents are. So we're not, you know. Sometimes it's on someone's desktop computer, right? And you have to know the right person to go to to get

136
00:17:08.930 --> 00:17:09.260
Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah.

137
00:17:09.540 --> 00:17:34.877
Dunphy, Laura: So we're we're trying to do one with putting all the forms like this. I don't know like this. We're doing one with all the forms for, like syllabus which put in our syllabus on our academic affairs website. That's in the process of doing that because I'm I'm I'm on. I'm the chair of Apc. I get asked a lot of times. Hey, where's that one document? I'm like,

138
00:17:35.270 --> 00:17:45.070
Dunphy, Laura: I have to go through the meeting minutes and find out who had had that information that could be something to work towards is a centralized location. To put some of this

139
00:17:45.390 --> 00:17:46.609
Dunphy, Laura: stuff to help

140
00:17:46.853 --> 00:17:59.036
Goldware, Rebeccah: It's an excellent point. I just assumed that I would Google it and I would find it, and I did not. But it is on. It is on our board agendas. But to your point there needs to be a place where. So Chris, add that to the website list,

141
00:17:59.710 --> 00:18:01.560
Goldware, Rebeccah: there should be a place where it's housed

142
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:03.959
Goldware, Rebeccah: specifically for the district. So thank you, Laura.

143
00:18:04.840 --> 00:18:10.640
Goldware, Rebeccah: But yes, it it is on the bot agenda currently

144
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:11.300
Dunphy, Laura: Thank you.

145
00:18:11.330 --> 00:18:14.999
Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah, we'll find another space for it, though. That's Google.

146
00:18:19.230 --> 00:18:30.950
Goldware, Rebeccah: What else relative to land acknowledgement? It doesn't. It sounds like there was interest at the colleges, and there were some things happening, but I don't know that it necessarily moved it. I don't know, and this would be a question to all of you is.

147
00:18:31.520 --> 00:18:37.609
Goldware, Rebeccah: do your colleges want slash? Need an individual acknowledgement? I'm not sure that they do

148
00:18:38.573 --> 00:18:44.076
Goldware, Rebeccah: and if not, we'll is the intent to just use the district one.

149
00:18:44.800 --> 00:19:05.780
Goldware, Rebeccah: Should we even go down this conversation? Rabbit hole? That's a question for the group the other piece of it is other than adding it to a centralized location that's easy to find for the district, because in theory it encapsulates everybody. So all 3 colleges should be able to use it. Should they want it goes back to the how do we use it?

150
00:19:10.410 --> 00:19:13.369
Goldware, Rebeccah: My, we can go pull somebody else's

151
00:19:13.630 --> 00:19:16.953
Goldware, Rebeccah: how and when they use it. But board meetings, and then

152
00:19:17.800 --> 00:19:21.450
Goldware, Rebeccah: formal events is where I would place it. So commencement

153
00:19:23.590 --> 00:19:27.570
Goldware, Rebeccah: I don't know that there are other large events that we do.

154
00:19:27.830 --> 00:19:32.420
Goldware, Rebeccah: that you would want to do land acknowledgement. But maybe there are at the colleges.

155
00:19:34.260 --> 00:19:37.409
Goldware, Rebeccah: And maybe this is a non issue. So

156
00:19:37.670 --> 00:19:40.240
Goldware, Rebeccah: I I guess part of it is.

157
00:19:40.760 --> 00:19:44.899
Goldware, Rebeccah: I can leave it with the colleges. And you guys can decide if you want to ask the question.

158
00:19:45.360 --> 00:19:52.609
Goldware, Rebeccah: and if the determination is no, we're going to leave it with the district overarching acknowledgement.

159
00:19:52.840 --> 00:19:54.759
Goldware, Rebeccah: The follow up to that is.

160
00:19:55.273 --> 00:20:01.289
Goldware, Rebeccah: do we need Param? I think the answer is yes. But do we need parameters on how and when we use it?

161
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:04.520
Goldware, Rebeccah: That latter point would have to be board approved

162
00:20:05.490 --> 00:20:11.050
Goldware, Rebeccah: because they would be the ones affirming, affirming when it is, or it would be an Ap. That I guess Esoc could approve.

163
00:20:11.380 --> 00:20:12.799
Goldware, Rebeccah: We could do it that way too.

164
00:20:13.890 --> 00:20:22.259
Goldware, Rebeccah: So general thoughts on movement on land acknowledgement from a college perspective, because, again, the districts is already done

165
00:20:25.820 --> 00:20:28.030
Williams, Sigrid: So I'm going to chime in because I had my hand up

166
00:20:28.370 --> 00:20:29.160
Goldware, Rebeccah: Sorry I didn't see you

167
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.869
Williams, Sigrid: That's okay, cause Adrian Grayson has her hand up too

168
00:20:32.870 --> 00:20:33.790
Goldware, Rebeccah: I'm sorry.

169
00:20:33.790 --> 00:20:38.099
Williams, Sigrid: So I personally, this is a district committee.

170
00:20:38.280 --> 00:21:05.630
Williams, Sigrid: I would like to say. We keep it at the district level, and we use one land acknowledgement, and it's used when similar to what they do with the board. So if it's on, if it's on anything that has to do with the presentation at the board. Then, I say, we use it otherwise. I say it stays in the repository at the district readily available and findable. So it's not going to be just on one computer and and leave it that it keeps it simple

171
00:21:06.020 --> 00:21:07.740
Goldware, Rebeccah: Fair Adrian.

172
00:21:09.841 --> 00:21:20.678
Grayson, Adrienne: I haven't been involved in all the conversations related to this. So I do think it would be important to get the folks who were involved in creating it,

173
00:21:21.310 --> 00:21:30.190
Grayson, Adrienne: included, because, from my understanding, the folks at Rcc. We're not necessarily

174
00:21:30.370 --> 00:21:33.500
Grayson, Adrienne: there were some issues with the process of

175
00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:34.020
Goldware, Rebeccah: 100%

176
00:21:34.470 --> 00:21:36.039
Grayson, Adrienne: How it was created.

177
00:21:36.604 --> 00:21:47.249
Grayson, Adrienne: And so we may want to revisit that process. And then the engagement of native peoples moving forward. I think that was one of the issues that

178
00:21:47.380 --> 00:21:58.889
Grayson, Adrienne: was brought up. Because what is what is a land acknowledgement just to acknowledge the land? But then you're not actually doing anything to support the peoples of the land. And so what are the

179
00:21:58.940 --> 00:22:16.620
Grayson, Adrienne: commitments that we're willing to make moving forward with engaging native peoples in this community. So I think it's a much larger conversation than what we can have here, because I think the Rcc. Was interested in creating its own

180
00:22:17.077 --> 00:22:32.569
Grayson, Adrienne: acknowledgement because of the way that the District land acknowledgement was created, and they were not in alignment with that. So I do think it's important to engage the colleges and find out what were some of the

181
00:22:32.710 --> 00:22:35.649
Grayson, Adrienne: issues that they cause. I'm sure they could articulate it way better

182
00:22:35.650 --> 00:22:50.409
Goldware, Rebeccah: Oh, I'm I'm very clear on what Brian and Laura and a few other people's issues were, because we did not follow any of the process that one would follow to do a land acknowledgement in compliance or in support of what the indigenous folks would want.

183
00:22:50.520 --> 00:22:51.920
Goldware, Rebeccah: 100%.

184
00:22:53.070 --> 00:22:57.680
Goldware, Rebeccah: I will tell you, knowing that this is recorded. My boss doesn't care.

185
00:22:57.810 --> 00:23:01.070
Goldware, Rebeccah: and I still have to follow lawful directive. So

186
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:06.759
Goldware, Rebeccah: at that point we have a land acknowledgement in his mind. This issue in his mind is done.

187
00:23:07.020 --> 00:23:07.680
Grayson, Adrienne: Hmm.

188
00:23:08.060 --> 00:23:08.790
Goldware, Rebeccah: So.

189
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:11.719
Grayson, Adrienne: It's just a matter of just checking a box, is that is, that

190
00:23:12.105 --> 00:23:22.130
Goldware, Rebeccah: I think it's more than that, because for him he doesn't actually like resolutions. He doesn't like words on a paper. He likes the action part.

191
00:23:22.130 --> 00:23:34.729
Goldware, Rebeccah: and he's he wants to see the action part, but that is A, and my office in general can help with that. This committee is not going to right. That's college bound engagement in the community

192
00:23:34.730 --> 00:23:52.829
Goldware, Rebeccah: where this again district committee could make some suggestions. But the call it right? So that's the place of not stepping on toes. Adrian, I 100% agree with you. If we're going to support this community, we gotta be in the community. So what Rcc. Nbc. And Nc. Are doing with Sherman Indian. I don't know.

193
00:23:52.840 --> 00:23:59.249
Goldware, Rebeccah: Should that be included, beefed up, enhanced absolutely conversations. I mean.

194
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:13.260
Goldware, Rebeccah: we have strong workforce programs that could be engaged. Mesa Cbu does an amazing job and has for well over a decade with Sherman. Those kids are boarded 9 months out of the year. So it's not like they're going anywhere. So to your point, I

195
00:24:13.870 --> 00:24:22.059
Goldware, Rebeccah: the they're there of engagement, I think, in the last year and a half since this really had conversation. You actually see information about

196
00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:31.990
Goldware, Rebeccah: the powwows that are happening at the tribal communities. You didn't see that come out through the community list service at all before. So that's 1 area that on the

197
00:24:32.340 --> 00:24:33.380
Goldware, Rebeccah: I

198
00:24:34.300 --> 00:24:49.909
Goldware, Rebeccah: grassroots piece of what the colleges are doing. That would be something that I would hope that the collective would start sharing with each other even behind the scenes outside of these committee meetings. Cause that piece. That that piece does not happen. That community engagement is not there with that unique part.

199
00:24:50.505 --> 00:24:54.159
Goldware, Rebeccah: So yeah, if Riverside wanted to go through a process.

200
00:24:54.650 --> 00:24:56.400
Goldware, Rebeccah: but they haven't, and they are.

201
00:24:56.730 --> 00:25:06.993
Goldware, Rebeccah: They are by definition the ones who started this. I'm glad that we have one. I'm not super thrilled at the process that we went through.

202
00:25:07.660 --> 00:25:31.820
Goldware, Rebeccah: but sometimes the acknowledgement pieces the starting, and then we keep going. So I would love to see more if there were grant opportunities, although federally, we'll see what happens. Those are areas that we were starting to look for. So if there are dollars that we can go after collectively and things that are coming, that would be something that could come up at this group where we could go after resources together as well.

203
00:25:32.318 --> 00:25:35.190
Goldware, Rebeccah: To kind of support the programming that's happening

204
00:25:35.450 --> 00:26:05.209
Grayson, Adrienne: Yeah, cause I mean, I'm as I'm picturing. Somebody asked, Where does it live? Where is it housed? And so I'm like there should be a very visible web page. Right? That says, this is our land acknowledgement. And then this is, you know, we could have something like a link for Rcc. Mvc. In Norco, in terms of what each of those colleges are doing to engage the community like, I feel like there could be a whole thing that we could do that would be

205
00:26:05.210 --> 00:26:10.190
Goldware, Rebeccah: That's a good place to start. I I love it. If there's content that we can populate those pages on from the college.

206
00:26:10.540 --> 00:26:11.210
Goldware, Rebeccah: Great?

207
00:26:11.210 --> 00:26:16.069
Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah, yeah, that's great. I know Chris is super excited to hear all these to do. So I like it.

208
00:26:16.970 --> 00:26:23.140
Goldware, Rebeccah: No, it's I this. It's the point, like, I know the land acknowledgements done, but until Laura said, Where is it? I went? Oh.

209
00:26:23.140 --> 00:26:33.440
Grayson, Adrienne: Right. So it doesn't make sense for it to be hidden somewhere, and and no one, you know, if somebody wanted to say, Hey, I wonder what Rccd stances on.

210
00:26:33.710 --> 00:26:36.910
Grayson, Adrienne: you know, engaging the community

211
00:26:37.705 --> 00:26:41.550
Goldware, Rebeccah: Absolutely, okay, go ahead.

212
00:26:41.550 --> 00:26:45.436
Manzo, Darci: Sorry I kept a little hand raised thing. It's been a while.

213
00:26:45.770 --> 00:26:57.219
Manzo, Darci: I'm Darcy Manza, Perana Rcc. For those of you that missed it. I'm also Gaberlin Otonva, community Member, and a long time involvement in Sherman. And I just want to

214
00:26:57.220 --> 00:27:21.459
Manzo, Darci: ensure that we're thinking about the native students that are within our institutions that are already here. I know I was approached when I came on about 3 years ago to talk about engaging native students that are currently here, but was told, we don't have any. They're not here, but they definitely are. And so I think, making the effort within what's already happening. And the students that are already here and collecting data. So we can go for those grants or that additional programming or funding.

215
00:27:21.460 --> 00:27:33.150
Manzo, Darci: So I just want to make sure. And that can be part of the land acknowledgement and what we're currently doing, instead of having to think that it's not, you know, within our campuses. It's out there. But our students are definitely here.

216
00:27:33.150 --> 00:27:40.120
Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah, no. I I surprised that somebody said they like that doesn't make any sense. So yes, agreed

217
00:27:40.598 --> 00:27:43.041
Goldware, Rebeccah: I hadn't thought about an individual page.

218
00:27:44.490 --> 00:27:56.020
Goldware, Rebeccah: but this so, Darcy, to the point that Darcy just made this comes down to the colleges. And what's happening, and who's doing? What? So who? Who owns it? Who's doing activities? Some of that, you know.

219
00:27:56.280 --> 00:28:06.241
Goldware, Rebeccah: Chris, me, we're gonna need help from you all to kind of get that together. So if there are humans on your campuses who are leads

220
00:28:07.080 --> 00:28:15.790
Goldware, Rebeccah: share those, because there's a separate piece of this on the government relations side, where we can have individual conversations to kind of feed that before the next meeting.

221
00:28:15.950 --> 00:28:20.120
Goldware, Rebeccah: So does anybody else have their hand up that I'm not seeing. I'm sorry.

222
00:28:20.810 --> 00:28:24.544
Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, I wanted to

223
00:28:25.190 --> 00:28:37.609
Goldware, Rebeccah: just clarify, and I guess, make sense or confirm. We're gonna keep this at the district level. If the colleges want to do something specifically. They can drill into that and

224
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:44.790
Goldware, Rebeccah: we will draft something for the next meeting. In the fall.

225
00:28:45.140 --> 00:29:02.830
Goldware, Rebeccah: To look at the ways we would recommend the land acknowledgement be used across the district, and my recommendation is beyond board meetings to be formal events, so commencement and or something more formal that is being done with the Chancellor, etc. Does that work for the collective?

226
00:29:04.490 --> 00:29:07.039
Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay? So that item is gonna come back

227
00:29:07.360 --> 00:29:14.340
Clarke, Chris: Rebecca, the land acknowledgement. We could start by putting it in our committee, you know, just our committee.

228
00:29:14.790 --> 00:29:19.149
Clarke, Chris: the Civic Engagement committee, web page as a starting place, but we can

229
00:29:19.150 --> 00:29:25.210
Goldware, Rebeccah: That's fine, but we should. We should have a and I don't know if it we'll have to figure out where it's house, but there should be

230
00:29:25.450 --> 00:29:30.599
Goldware, Rebeccah: its own standalone, so that we can link back to the colleges that they have sites or so something to look at.

231
00:29:31.370 --> 00:29:32.370
Goldware, Rebeccah: Thanks, Chris.

232
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:34.700
Goldware, Rebeccah: Anything else on this.

233
00:29:36.190 --> 00:29:37.050
Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay?

234
00:29:37.612 --> 00:29:40.149
Goldware, Rebeccah: Tracy, you're up with voter stuff

235
00:29:44.300 --> 00:29:53.971
Fisher, Tracy: Okay, so really, what we really thought about with this particular section is

236
00:29:54.860 --> 00:30:07.580
Fisher, Tracy: really thinking about civic engagement at the level of the colleges what that might look like, I think sometimes, oftentimes we think of it in terms of voting only.

237
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:16.129
Fisher, Tracy: and then there are ways that we can kind of unpack that and think of it in other, you know, in in other spheres. And so

238
00:30:16.953 --> 00:30:25.699
Fisher, Tracy: just wanted to to really thinking about this larger question of what does it look like for our students? And that also when I think about that.

239
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:34.576
Fisher, Tracy: And I think about Mark's initial question comment. That's another way that I think this committee

240
00:30:35.390 --> 00:30:40.350
Fisher, Tracy: can be different, right? Like really thinking about civic engagement.

241
00:30:40.760 --> 00:30:47.693
Fisher, Tracy: you know, on the ground, in terms of you know, in terms of what our students are doing. And so

242
00:30:48.040 --> 00:31:14.739
Fisher, Tracy: We've asked Darcy Manso, who actually Darcy just spoke and introduced herself and Jessica Centeno, who did make it to the meeting as well with Community Action Leadership Academy. She is a student to just speak a little bit about. And, Darcy, if we could begin with you just a little bit about college corps and what the students are actually doing a little bit about the program, and just just kind of giving us

243
00:31:15.100 --> 00:31:29.570
Fisher, Tracy: as a community, as a committee, as a community, a sense of what these particular groups are doing, because these were chosen particularly because of what of the kind of engagement that the students have with the community

244
00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:55.109
Manzo, Darci: Yes, thank you, and thank you for inviting me, and it's hard to I always have to talk. Say something so sorry about that, and you'll see, too. Jess is one of our college core fellow ambassadors. So I'm so glad she's here. We work very closely with Calla on Campus College core. We are going into our 4th year. We are a statewide fellowship program through the governor's office. And so what we do is we pair 50 students from each campus

245
00:31:55.562 --> 00:32:03.699
Manzo, Darci: with a local nonprofit agency or community host organization. They serve about 12 to 15 h per week.

246
00:32:03.700 --> 00:32:19.749
Manzo, Darci: They earn a monthly living stipend, and then, after a full academic year, they have completed about 450 service hours, and they can earn up to $10,000 to help pay for college. So this program was created to replace a part-time job.

247
00:32:19.800 --> 00:32:43.410
Manzo, Darci: Most of our students work a full time job, go to school full time and do college core, but it definitely can be done. We've had very successful completion rates across the district. So a little back history of college Core, we originally had one grant across all 3 colleges. We had 50 fellows total now coming into this new cohort. Each campus we are recruiting for 50 each

248
00:32:43.410 --> 00:33:08.400
Manzo, Darci: at each campus, and we're going to have 3 directors of college corps on the ground. So very exciting things we have at Rcc. About 14 community host partners that includes on campus partners and basic needs outreach career center. Hopefully, we'll get that going again. We also have partnerships with off campus sites like feeding America meals on wheels.

249
00:33:09.106 --> 00:33:12.203
Manzo, Darci: Overflow farms, parks and Rec, we

250
00:33:12.900 --> 00:33:27.169
Manzo, Darci: oh, yes, in the center, of course. See, we're all over the place. And so we're really trying to expand. We are creating a new tutoring center at Hunt Park with Parks and Rec, which is very exciting. So we definitely are growing. And I should mention that all of our service.

251
00:33:27.170 --> 00:33:47.190
Manzo, Darci: our students, they're focused in K through 12, education, food, insecurity, climate action and our newest focus area, which is community wellness. And so we have opened the application right now for cohort 4. There are some requirements. You do have to be a full time student, which you know, as we know as I'm working in Community college, it can be difficult.

252
00:33:47.190 --> 00:33:49.390
Manzo, Darci: And we also

253
00:33:49.440 --> 00:34:10.310
Manzo, Darci: offer this program through financial aid, we will find ways to work with students if they don't qualify for financial aid or don't have enough room in their package. And we also, this program is available to undocumented students. And Ab, 540 students, which is pretty incredible. One of the only programs where undocumented students can be paid for their service or their work.

254
00:34:10.310 --> 00:34:31.789
Manzo, Darci: and in addition to going on site to their primary service sites, we have cohort building opportunities. We have trainings. We do professional development. We have our ambassador program like Jess that can go out and share her story, and all the good work that's being done and participate on a statewide level with other fellows. They're hoping to bring in about 10,000 fellows next year. Total.

255
00:34:31.790 --> 00:34:45.039
Manzo, Darci: So we really are a part of this bigger collective, this service movement that is happening. And the Governor always speaks about how his Service Corps is larger than the Peace Corps right now. And so college corps is a small part of that, but definitely growing.

256
00:34:45.040 --> 00:35:10.000
Manzo, Darci: So yeah, I hope you all can spread the word like I said, we're on all 3 campuses. Application is open. You can always find me email me, or let me know we love to go and give presentations to classrooms, or to different club meetings or different departments, to engage students and let them know about this opportunity. I think that's our biggest hurdle right now is getting the word out that this amazing opportunity

257
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:13.310
Manzo, Darci: and it's really made for all students is available

258
00:35:18.190 --> 00:35:20.149
Fisher, Tracy: Thank you so much, Darcy.

259
00:35:20.940 --> 00:35:28.444
Fisher, Tracy: and you know you know, Jessica, I can't see you. Let me move you along. Here. There you are.

260
00:35:29.550 --> 00:35:30.949
Fisher, Tracy: Can you hear me? Okay, doctor.

261
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:33.939
Fisher, Tracy: if you can't really hear you.

262
00:35:43.830 --> 00:35:47.090
Fisher, Tracy: can you hear me now? Okay, yes.

263
00:35:47.460 --> 00:36:01.390
Jess Zenteno: Hello, everybody! I'm sorry I was tardy this afternoon. Good afternoon to all of you, and thank you for having me here. I am in place for Dr. Parisa Clark. She is a director of Community Action Leadership Academy.

264
00:36:01.490 --> 00:36:16.970
Jess Zenteno: I, however, had the privilege of coming back as a program assistant for her. I had the privilege of being a intern last year, and also this year I had the privilege of being a fellow through college corps as well as an ambassador. So I wear many hats.

265
00:36:17.020 --> 00:36:45.259
Jess Zenteno: I've also been a holistic practitioner in Riverside for the past 13 years. So I have a really big impact and direct connection to my city. I love my city, and that leads me to tell you guys a little bit about Kala. We're not as big as college corps or recognized in the State as they are. But we're making big impact on a ground grassroot level. And what I mean by that is, we're made up of 30 interns that are committed to civic engagement

266
00:36:45.410 --> 00:36:49.690
Jess Zenteno: by learning and earning at the partnered organizations that we have.

267
00:36:50.160 --> 00:37:00.060
Jess Zenteno: and they're actively engaged in social issues, meaning ones of housing, transitioned aged youth veterans, reentry.

268
00:37:00.130 --> 00:37:23.289
Jess Zenteno: Okay. Lgbtq, all of these social issues are how the students are getting engaged civically as well as participating in Rcc campus asrcc through Kala. Because we have a lot of senators. We have a lot of bodies that represent Rcc, so this is how they're actively staying engaged not to lose track.

269
00:37:23.597 --> 00:37:39.900
Jess Zenteno: Call. It is a 9 month program where students can earn up to $15,000. They are paid generously every month on a living stipend, as well as receiving an educational stipend of 2,500 in the beginning of starting their program, and at the end of starting their program.

270
00:37:39.950 --> 00:37:48.139
Jess Zenteno: This money does not go to their college of choice. It goes straight to their pocket so they can use it for educational expenses or during their time of the program.

271
00:37:49.430 --> 00:38:07.459
Jess Zenteno: Students have the option of receiving a certificate at the end. But there's a key to this. They have to engage in a couple of guidance courses as well as an ethnic course, so that they may receive this certificate. But I've noticed as me myself, that took advantage of these courses. That's where we get the best and most from the program.

272
00:38:08.180 --> 00:38:37.419
Jess Zenteno: And honestly, the work from the students is reflected in the community. You know. I saw on the agenda that the committee recognizes the opportunities, that in which people can bridge their social justice passions and build community with others. This is the way that they're doing it. They're doing it through college core, and they're doing it through Kala. They're learning about the gaps that need to be bridged in the community. They're learning about the marginalized community, the disparities, the lack.

273
00:38:37.620 --> 00:38:43.570
Jess Zenteno: and they're doing the work from 10 to 15 h similar to college core on a weekly basis.

274
00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:57.029
Jess Zenteno: and then at the end, to complete their program, they have to do a capstone project similar to college corps as well, and this capstone is a representation of the 9 months during their service, and what they've done in the community.

275
00:38:57.150 --> 00:38:58.989
Jess Zenteno: and what column means to them.

276
00:38:59.130 --> 00:39:26.179
Jess Zenteno: and how they would recommend it to others. So, despite only Kahla being around since 2020, this is the 5th cohort going into the next year. I'm very excited. I'm very proud to be an assistant in this program because of the passion that I have for my city, but because of the next Gen. Changers and the makers that are really driven and dedicated to seeing a change in their community for their kids, for their future, for their fathers, mothers, grandparents.

277
00:39:26.330 --> 00:39:29.830
Jess Zenteno: This is where it's happening. It's right here right now. Thank you very much.

278
00:39:34.190 --> 00:39:38.490
Fisher, Tracy: Thank you so much, Jessica. Thank you. And Darcy, thank you.

279
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:55.689
Fisher, Tracy: giving us a real sense of what's happening really on the ground. And you know I'm thinking about what, Chris, said Chris. You mentioned a comment a few moments ago about voting, and then maybe there's a way, you know, getting people registered, you know. Maybe there's a way

280
00:39:56.090 --> 00:40:03.509
Fisher, Tracy: to have some synergy between college core and Kala and voter registration. So just kind of

281
00:40:03.620 --> 00:40:04.800
Fisher, Tracy: putting that out there

282
00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:18.860
Goldware, Rebeccah: Ideally. This next meeting will happen far enough in advance in the fall, so that there can be some of those coordination points. So we'll look to have a let's say, late August

283
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:45.690
Goldware, Rebeccah: meeting for the fall, so that we can have some of those conversations, Dorsey. Maybe you can come back and share, and Jess, if you were, and or Parisa are available to share what's happening in the 2 respectively. And then, Chris, if Lachey is available and or you can cover that. What we're hearing back from the county in terms of like we've had been voter drop off locations before. But what other things that we can do to further affirm that especially as we come into the fall

284
00:40:46.035 --> 00:40:51.224
Goldware, Rebeccah: not so much to serve an extra specifically as as we run into those. So

285
00:40:51.730 --> 00:40:55.320
Goldware, Rebeccah: cool any other questions, comments follow ups.

286
00:40:58.710 --> 00:40:59.460
Goldware, Rebeccah: okay.

287
00:40:59.680 --> 00:41:18.760
Hartley, Mark: Hey? Real quick. Yeah. Yeah. Great things are going on with both these groups. And you can tell there's just extreme passion. I think this is wonderful, and let's, you know, certainly keep this momentum going with voter registration. Each of the campuses should have, like a civic and voter empowerment

288
00:41:18.790 --> 00:41:48.149
Hartley, Mark: Point person I know on our campus at Norco. It is Dr. Edwin Romero who oversees student activities and our associated students. I'm not sure if it's the same on each campus. But we do have point people that are pushing for that, getting the word out registration opportunities to have our campuses as polling locations. You know things like that make it easier for students to get registered and to vote. So those are taking place which it's always exciting

289
00:41:48.300 --> 00:42:01.980
Hartley, Mark: during election time or an election, you know, season, and then things kind of drop off when it's not. And and so trying to find ways to keep that, you know, moving throughout each, you know, 4 year interval is important to do

290
00:42:02.120 --> 00:42:03.859
Goldware, Rebeccah: So in that

291
00:42:04.040 --> 00:42:24.319
Goldware, Rebeccah: separate or in that space. Lachey, as our government Relations director, is here to support some of that work and some of the ways that we can do that is bringing people to campus. So if you have people on campus, if you're bringing them, just let us know it's only for information. We're not trying to, you know, manage anything other than traffic control. Other is.

292
00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:40.569
Goldware, Rebeccah: you know, we can bring people. We can go get folks from our delegation to come out and talk to students. There are a number of political science faculty who do it directly to their classes. It's a different dynamic in that space. But those are things that

293
00:42:40.660 --> 00:43:03.110
Goldware, Rebeccah: we can do. So if there are beyond Edwin. If there are other people at the campuses, please let us know. So, at the very least, that government relations can be in contact with those people, and we know who they are. We're trying to do the same space with basic aid coordinators, because these are all groups that need advocacy. So if there's an advocacy piece, it, it fits in that space. So

294
00:43:03.430 --> 00:43:06.072
Goldware, Rebeccah: think, think about that in terms of

295
00:43:07.060 --> 00:43:11.155
Goldware, Rebeccah: How else centrally we can do that. And then how broadly we can

296
00:43:11.790 --> 00:43:15.730
Goldware, Rebeccah: make the larger. I don't want to say policy, but umbrella.

297
00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:18.700
Goldware, Rebeccah: just for the directive of the direction of

298
00:43:19.200 --> 00:43:32.550
Hartley, Mark: Sounds good. See if I can get a hold of Edwin to find out who and if somebody on this, you know, Zoom Meeting knows on your campuses, but I can at least ask Edwin to see if he knows who his counterparts are, and I can get to that information. So you've got it

299
00:43:32.550 --> 00:43:37.910
Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah, yeah, that would be great. I mean, in theory, they may want to. We may want to have them come into these groups

300
00:43:38.160 --> 00:43:41.060
Hartley, Mark: What are you and give updates? So cool.

301
00:43:41.830 --> 00:43:46.949
Goldware, Rebeccah: Anything else on voter election or college core.

302
00:43:47.520 --> 00:43:50.150
Goldware, Rebeccah: Tracy, I don't know if you've got anything else in that space.

303
00:43:52.020 --> 00:43:55.001
Goldware, Rebeccah: So we kind of touched on. It's the last primary

304
00:43:55.490 --> 00:44:01.052
Goldware, Rebeccah: topic we touched on both of them both land acknowledgement and then with

305
00:44:01.900 --> 00:44:30.079
Goldware, Rebeccah: the election process. But general better engagement. This is one of those share moments, and this may be something that we come back to. Are there better ways, and the election piece, I think, will flush out through the summer and into the fall with some of these coordinating points. But what are better ways that we can engage the overall community in these spaces. Most of this work is going to happen, or is already happening at your colleges. So

306
00:44:30.150 --> 00:44:42.709
Goldware, Rebeccah: this is a lot of this is my own lack of education, and me needing to learn what's happening, and then so that we can share accordingly. So I don't know if there's anybody who wants to chime in there, but there is a decent amount

307
00:44:43.980 --> 00:44:44.520
Goldware, Rebeccah: right

308
00:44:54.020 --> 00:44:55.077
Hartley, Mark: Just you're muted

309
00:44:55.430 --> 00:44:57.150
Jess Zenteno: Sorry. Can I mention something

310
00:44:57.310 --> 00:45:00.299
Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah, I'm sorry I can't see hands all the time, so

311
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:01.270
Jess Zenteno: Interrupt

312
00:45:01.390 --> 00:45:26.379
Jess Zenteno: my apologies. I didn't want to interrupt, but thank you. I mentioned to maybe get involved in the local community as far as with like different nonprofits. I just joined Riverside Neighborhood partnership group oversees a lot of the different districts in Riverside. So for me, that was taking that next step to see how I can get more involved, more knowledge and wisdom on what's happening and going back to the voter increase in registration.

313
00:45:26.380 --> 00:45:33.340
Jess Zenteno: That's where we're having more round table discussions, more panel discussions on how we can increase this part of civic engagement

314
00:45:36.120 --> 00:45:37.245
Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah, working with

315
00:45:38.870 --> 00:46:04.179
Goldware, Rebeccah: neighborhoods, groups downtown partnership, I mean, some of the President like, and that becomes the community piece. I don't expect anybody in this unless you're interested. Just it's like part of your life. To join community groups, Muriel. You're probably on more than a few. So it like part of it is what fits in your day job and your scope. But then there are a lot of other people who do these things, too. Right? President Olivares, I think, is on downtown partnership

316
00:46:04.456 --> 00:46:09.980
Goldware, Rebeccah: and so part of it is just having our name out there. So people recognize and know who we are.

317
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:25.098
Goldware, Rebeccah: but then bringing that stuff back, it doesn't necessarily, and it shouldn't. We're too big of an organization to try to have all of those counterparts. But knowing that we have people in these spaces, I think, is really good and helpful.

318
00:46:25.740 --> 00:46:28.669
Goldware, Rebeccah: That's something that I don't know that

319
00:46:29.200 --> 00:46:51.969
Goldware, Rebeccah: the neighborhoods group that might be too grassroots. But like, when you're on a State Border Commission, we for sure want to know if you're on a local one, we for sure want to know anything that could influence the overall structure? So that's something that I would like to see. It's a capacity issue. But overall the whole district. We have people sitting on a variety of boards of commissions, and it

320
00:46:52.020 --> 00:47:14.789
Goldware, Rebeccah: would be beneficial for us to encourage that kind of activity to Justice Point. You're more engaged. Sigrid. I know that you're taking on some work stuff, but larger with the state, with map and things of that nature. Those are. Those are relevant pieces of information for us to have, because when something comes up we can go. Oh, we have a human that is internal to the district that we can.

321
00:47:14.850 --> 00:47:24.909
Goldware, Rebeccah: you know, posit something, Darcy. Your connection with college Core, and the others at the other colleges like those are. Those are important pieces, especially when there's advocacy work that has to be done. So that's

322
00:47:25.250 --> 00:47:27.541
Goldware, Rebeccah: kind of trying to tire

323
00:47:28.560 --> 00:47:36.880
Goldware, Rebeccah: communications so that we hear more things, more places, I think, is to the justice point. Yeah.

324
00:47:37.160 --> 00:48:02.559
Goldware, Rebeccah: I don't know other than tracking it and encouraging people when we have openings. And that'll be something that, as county seats become open people transition off of various boards of missions. The counties are pretty influential with mental health. I don't know that we have anybody that could sit on a Mental Health board, but those might be other places from a civic engagement perspective that

325
00:48:03.080 --> 00:48:17.609
Goldware, Rebeccah: we collectively want to think about. So I kind of just posit that and we'll add that for further conversation in our next meeting I'll talk with Chris and Lachey on government relations, because I think that's where at least a piece of it would be housed

326
00:48:18.910 --> 00:48:21.009
Williams, Sigrid: So, Rebecca, I'm gonna throw something out here

327
00:48:21.010 --> 00:48:21.610
Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah.

328
00:48:21.610 --> 00:48:23.780
Williams, Sigrid: Because I wanted to.

329
00:48:24.160 --> 00:48:36.300
Williams, Sigrid: I wanted to really wrap my head around civic engagement. And what this committee is all about. I sent you an email this morning in regards to cert, okay, we have several of us that are

330
00:48:36.650 --> 00:48:59.580
Williams, Sigrid: tied to Cal Oes. That's the office of emergency services for those that didn't under didn't know the acronym tied to Fema, and with what happened in La with the wildfires, with what you know, the we've got the riverbed right here, going through, you know, 2 areas riverside, you know. Rcc, the Iettc, when that gets, you know, built and the Norco.

331
00:49:00.290 --> 00:49:08.170
Williams, Sigrid: maybe we make cert a regional thing and and tie it to the district and not tie it

332
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:16.140
Williams, Sigrid: where they have to apply through Ccc. Apply and and really, and put it down as like a community activities or service program.

333
00:49:17.260 --> 00:49:27.959
Williams, Sigrid: It's it's something that we should talk about, because the older generation that want to register for the class even faculty don't want to go through. They won't go through the Ccc. Apply process

334
00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:31.989
Goldware, Rebeccah: I wouldn't pass if I have to go through that

335
00:49:32.250 --> 00:49:40.444
Williams, Sigrid: So, as you know, as disaster service workers, and we're all disaster service workers. Technically, you signed the paper when you got when you got hired.

336
00:49:41.200 --> 00:49:49.960
Williams, Sigrid: it's we're doing a disservice to ourselves. And we're doing a disservice to our communities. If we don't put that out there for them. Yeah, make it easy. So I I'm just throwing that out there

337
00:49:50.090 --> 00:50:13.800
Goldware, Rebeccah: No, I hear you on that one. Specifically, I think the idea, the concept is good on that one. Specifically, I need to dig in and find out where it lands. I think it's gonna end up in extended learning. But let me, because it makes that process easier. So let me look into that but I do think there, there, to your point, I think there is a place here for that conversation, and then where it ships to

338
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:26.090
Williams, Sigrid: Because it's advocacy, and there's there's funding tied. There's grants tied to it. I mean, we could have collected $90,000. It's it's free money every year. Now, with Fema

339
00:50:26.830 --> 00:50:29.341
Williams, Sigrid: with everything going on, we'll see

340
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:30.870
Goldware, Rebeccah: Good anymore.

341
00:50:30.870 --> 00:50:31.380
Williams, Sigrid: There!

342
00:50:31.767 --> 00:50:40.682
Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, so we'll add, we'll add that topic. I'll do some more digging on that. But topically we'll we'll add that

343
00:50:41.350 --> 00:50:55.669
Goldware, Rebeccah: from an outreach piece, because all of these are all of these are outbound communications. So at the end of the day there's a lot of work that's happening at the colleges. It's just part of it is communicating out and then coordinating with each other to dovetail some of it together. So

344
00:50:56.590 --> 00:51:02.690
Goldware, Rebeccah: Any events, engagements, activities that are happening at the colleges, that people want to share

345
00:51:06.170 --> 00:51:25.470
Anderson-McDade, Meriel: Sure I can share some things that we're doing that I'm engaged in right now. There's an event on April 29.th It's not at the college, but we've been. I'm the representative that would be attending for Rcc. It's through workforce development, and they're having an event to engage individuals with disabilities.

346
00:51:25.470 --> 00:51:36.940
Anderson-McDade, Meriel: and they reached out to me because they heard about our career closet, which is amazing and growing, and they would love it if some of their clients could come to the closet and maybe get a few items, or maybe one outfit.

347
00:51:36.940 --> 00:52:05.789
Anderson-McDade, Meriel: And I thought that that would be okay, because this is a community that helped us build this career closet. So if we can't give back a couple of outsuits or dresses to our community members who helped us build it. Then what are we doing? So I will be participating in that and giving them some outfits, as well as doing a presentation on what is professional attire for helping individuals with disabilities get jobs, and our Drc. Will also be joining us for that event. So workforce development. Jason Tang

348
00:52:05.790 --> 00:52:29.409
Anderson-McDade, Meriel: invited us, and he reached out to us. The chamber told him about us, and so they did, and I thought that was really special. So I'm excited about that. So that's part of our our what we're doing, our community engagement as well as our job fairs that we always do. Community culinary job fair. Always a hit. The community loves us so other than that. I just thought that one was really special because our workforce partner reached out to us for that

349
00:52:29.610 --> 00:52:45.440
Goldware, Rebeccah: I think that's super great, I said, on the web. So that's another. That's another place for direct communication, and broader outreach, because the county has resources that we can be doing both pieces of this in terms of workforce and then broader outreach. So that's great. Thank you, Mario.

350
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:55.709
Anderson-McDade, Meriel: So that way their clients can also get connected with us if they want to take classes here. Training get connected with Drc, so it's going to be a win win for all of us. So thank you.

351
00:52:55.710 --> 00:52:58.329
Goldware, Rebeccah: Cool. Anybody else. Yeah.

352
00:52:58.330 --> 00:53:08.095
Grayson, Adrienne: I'd like to share. So my office docs of educational partnerships. At Rcc, we have a number of different

353
00:53:08.670 --> 00:53:30.899
Grayson, Adrienne: community facing programs that we have. So college core is in my area. So is dual enrollment. And so is rising scholars. So working with justice impact the justice impacted community. And so we will be having a supporting successful reentry conference. This is our 3rd annual conference. It will be held at Cal State, San Bernardino. So this is in partnership with

354
00:53:30.900 --> 00:53:43.930
Grayson, Adrienne: Cal. State, San Bernardino, Uc. Riverside and College of the Desert, and supporting the reentry community, and so I hope folks can come out. It'll be on April 16.th

355
00:53:44.268 --> 00:53:49.271
Grayson, Adrienne: We've had it at Ucr for the past couple of years. So this is first, st our 1st time doing it at

356
00:53:49.810 --> 00:54:00.077
Grayson, Adrienne: Cal State, San Bernardino, and a couple of weeks ago we had a raising the future event, where we invited hundreds of folks. We had about 400 young people,

357
00:54:01.230 --> 00:54:13.819
Grayson, Adrienne: 16, to like 25 and their families at Rcc. Was called raising the future, and that was in partnership with Riverside County Probation Office and Riverside County Office of Education.

358
00:54:14.281 --> 00:54:31.530
Grayson, Adrienne: And I'm just trying to provide pro-social activities for young people and to get them to know what resources are available in their community, and it was a great success. And so this is more talking. This one is more

359
00:54:32.170 --> 00:54:43.940
Grayson, Adrienne: talking about how education, higher education can really support our communities who are dealing with the cartial system and being system impacted and justice impacted

360
00:54:49.230 --> 00:54:50.670
Williams, Sigrid: You're on mute, Rebecca

361
00:54:53.310 --> 00:54:58.451
Goldware, Rebeccah: Well, I said, thank you, Adrian. Anyone else for updates

362
00:54:59.750 --> 00:55:11.299
Dunphy, Laura: So I have one that it's we're just starting. And I think it's kind of in this realm. But it's new and that is a student driven, podcast that is bringing community members into the podcast

363
00:55:11.640 --> 00:55:41.419
Dunphy, Laura: we haven't published anything yet. But we're on our 3rd episode. And it's been, I think it can be something really engaging for the community and also for our students to get engaged with the community and learn about individuals. And we even had our President was on it, our in our last one and it's run by students. So again, we don't have anyone to do the post production, and we're kind of figuring and fumbling with that. But I think it could be a great way to kind of bring innovation into community engagement.

364
00:55:41.970 --> 00:55:47.780
Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah, it's a cool idea, especially student led. I think it's great, awesome

365
00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:50.929
Williams, Sigrid: So I put one. I put one in the chat.

366
00:55:50.960 --> 00:56:20.049
Williams, Sigrid: Oh, yeah. So the the map initiative was moved to the district office out of Norco College. We're working directly with the Chancellor's office, and this morning Governor Newsom announced his new master plan, so I threw the link in there. If you wanted to listen to it. He specifically starts talking about credit for prior learning at 16 min and 20 seconds into his presentation, and is really pushing this. So we are seeing a lot of movement with credit for prior learning, for veterans and for working adults. So

367
00:56:20.140 --> 00:56:26.090
Williams, Sigrid: stand by to stand by at your colleges because we're going to get an influx of working adults. I see

368
00:56:28.080 --> 00:56:29.120
Williams, Sigrid: it coming

369
00:56:30.050 --> 00:56:30.730
Goldware, Rebeccah: Awesome.

370
00:56:31.110 --> 00:56:32.030
Goldware, Rebeccah: Thank you.

371
00:56:33.400 --> 00:56:36.480
Goldware, Rebeccah: There's a lot of activity that's going to keep happening in state. Tracy, go ahead.

372
00:56:38.673 --> 00:56:41.636
Fisher, Tracy: So just some just sharing.

373
00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:48.199

374
00:56:48.440 --> 00:56:56.959
Fisher, Tracy: concert series where we're featuring the music students from Rcc. Who are absolutely fantastic.

375
00:56:57.060 --> 00:57:17.481
Fisher, Tracy: It's during college hour. So tomorrow's our last day. We've done it for it's been 4 weeks. This is our last week on Tuesdays and Thursdays one to 1 40. I know it's a tight time, but if you're in the district or at Rcc, maybe just pop on over. We do have little lunchboxes, sandwiches.

376
00:57:17.840 --> 00:57:31.690
Fisher, Tracy: and so it's just so great to be able to do that to feature. The students, we currently our 1st floor rotating exhibition space has an exhibition, the body of freedom that

377
00:57:31.730 --> 00:57:36.589
Fisher, Tracy: that opened about a month ago. We have one month left for that.

378
00:57:36.680 --> 00:57:37.560
Fisher, Tracy: So

379
00:57:38.650 --> 00:57:43.110
Fisher, Tracy: If you have some time, we're open tomorrow until 9. It's our late night.

380
00:57:43.240 --> 00:58:00.029
Fisher, Tracy: but we're open from 12 to 9, so you can stop by the evening to see the body of Freedom works, and all of the pieces in the exhibition are made from workshops, free workshops that were held in the community, either at the Center Division, 9 Gallery, Ramona High School.

381
00:58:00.030 --> 00:58:14.419
Fisher, Tracy: We've also partnered with the city of Riverside on this one as well. So we've got artwork that's hanging from students, from Alvord, from Rusd, from Norco, Moreno Valley, Rcc.

382
00:58:15.084 --> 00:58:27.945
Fisher, Tracy: And and then the other. The other works. Lots of just other works that are just all from community, and our Ccd community as well. And then finally, tomorrow

00:58:28.710 --> 00:58:54.470
Fisher, Tracy: for our 1st Thursday is the beginning is the 1st day of the Spring Social Justice Book Club that is facilitated and run by the students. And so the Kala and college core students are leading this one. But it's for all I mean, it's it's not just for students, but they are leading it.

384
00:58:55.114 --> 00:59:12.529
Fisher, Tracy: And so, you know we're just encouraging people. There'll be another. They haven't chosen the books yet for for May and for June, but still encouraging folks and encouraging the community students, anyone really to to join it. So

386
00:59:20.106 --> 00:59:22.739
Goldware, Rebeccah: If there are any last minute comments

387
00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:27.195
Goldware, Rebeccah: again. I can't see hands, so you should just jump in
