SBCCD to Continue Online Classes Through Fall, Offer COVID-19 Student Relief Grants
|
|
The San Bernardino Community College District announced on March 12, 2021 that Crafton Hills College and San Bernardino Valley College would continue operating mostly online through the fall semester.
In an email sent to the campus community, Jose F. Torres, Interim Chancellor, said protecting the community's health has to be the top priority.
"Remaining off-campus, for now, reduces the risk of widespread infection while many of our adult students wait their turn to receive the COVID-19 vaccine," Torres said. "We look forward to learning more about The White House's plan to expand vaccine access to all adults."
Currently, vaccines are reserved for people over 65 and essential workers. But vaccine supply is limited, and most college students have likely not had a chance to get it yet. That vaccine process is supervised locally by the San Bernardino County and Riverside County public health departments. Read more >>

Nearly $1 Million Raised to Provide Financial Support to SBVC Students During Pandemic
|
The SBVC Foundation and community has been hard at work for students during the pandemic this past year. Over $960,000 has been raised through various donations and grants to help SBVC students both in response to the pandemic and to support them into the Fall 2021-Spring 2022 academic year.
One of the largest donations came from the Chuck Obershaw Estate. The generous donation, about $350,000, will be added to an existing endowment for a combined endowment of about $600,000. Interest from the account will support approximately 30 students annually with scholarships of $1,000 each to pursue careers in automotive, business, and entrepreneurship. There will be no citizenship requirements to apply for these scholarships. SBVC students will be able to apply for the scholarships through Academic Works during the scholarship application period (Oct. 1-Jan. 31). |

Machinist Technology Department Installs New Equipment for 75th Anniversary
SBVC's Machinist Technology Department is the oldest machinist training facility in the Inland Empire, and is commemorating its 75th anniversary this year. In January, the program received several pieces of new equipment to replace obsolete lathes and mills. The items, including an electric servo press, vertical machining center, CNC lathe, and electric discharge machine, were purchased with Strong Workforce grant funds. In order to bring the new equipment into the Applied Technology building, dozens of machines had to be rearranged, and police blocked the street so trucks could make their deliveries. By acquiring more advanced equipment, SBVC continues to provide cutting-edge technology to students in the machinist tech program.
The Machinist Technology Department offers 50 courses, three degrees, and eight certificates in Mechanical Craft, Industrial Maintenance, Mechanical Drafting and Machinist Technology. Curriculum is regularly updated and revised, and by taking classes and participating in lab activities, students receive broad training in conventional machine tools and computer numerical control machines.

SBVC Launches First-Ever Chinese Language Program
This spring, San Bernardino Valley College has opened to students the opportunity to learn a language spoken by hundreds of millions of people around the world: Mandarin Chinese. Taught by Hsiao Hui Shih, this beginning course will help students develop competence in listening, speaking, reading, and writing as they learn basic vocabulary, sentence structures, and characters. Nori Sogomonian, co-chair of the Modern Languages Department, says this is the first time that the college is offering a Mandarin Chinese course. "The course curriculum was written and submitted through the SBVC Curriculum process three years ago, and we are just now able to offer it since the courses have been approved and we have hired an adjunct faculty to teach it online for now," she explains. By offering Mandarin, SBVC is providing students with "an alternative language and culture to study and integrate into their chosen majors, whether they decide to transfer and major in Chinese language and culture, liberal arts, or apply the language to a business degree," Sogomonian says.

SBVC Alumna Credits Online Classes for Out-of-State Transfer Success
After enrolling at San Bernardino Valley College, Marina Hand decided to change her course of study and follow her dream - and things have been falling into place ever since.
While working as a hospital administrator, Hand began taking nursing classes, thinking since her "foot was in the door, I may as well just keep moving forward" in the medical world. She didn't enjoy the courses, and in 2018, a friend encouraged Hand to transfer to Valley College, where they could take classes together and give each other moral support.
"I thought, maybe I just need someone to cheer me on and I can cheer them on," Hand said. Read more >>

Miriam Padilla
A Proud Graduate Class of 2020
Graduating in a pandemic is not typically what students sign up to do. As Spring 2020 graduate of San Bernardino Valley College, Miriam Padilla shows how with familia (family), dedication, and guidance a scholar can persist even through a pandemic. She was awarded an Associate's degree in Liberal Arts with a concentration of Humanities and Fine Arts.
In high school, Miriam was not certain if she would attend college. Her biggest motivator in deciding to attend was the encouragement she received from her uncle. He advised her that college was a way to provide a better future for herself and her family.

Miguel Cardona sworn in as U.S. Secretary of Education
The 45-year-old Cardona will be one of the youngest secretaries to occupy the position since it was established when the Dept. of Education was created in 1980.
Cardona's first major challenge will be to implement the Biden administration's pledge to open the nation's elementary schools within 100 days of taking office, even though the federal government has limited influence over what states and school districts do regarding administration of local schools. Beyond pandemic-related issues, he will be the public spokesperson and advocate for President Biden's expansive education agenda, arguably the most ambitious of any president. Read more >>

During the Pandemic, 3 in 5 Students Face Food and Housing Insecurity, a New Study Finds
It's no secret that college students are struggling with food, housing and job insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. But a new study from the Hope Center For College, Community, and Justice detailed the magnitude of the problem, surveying 38,602 students at 54 colleges and universities in 26 states. The study found that about three in five students experienced basic needs insecurity from April 20 to May 15. Two-thirds of respondents employed before the pandemic experienced job insecurity and a third lost a job because of the pandemic.
