Thank you to our Counselor/LGBTQ+ Student Success Coordinator Dr. Lisa Carulli for highlighting impactful LGBTQ+ icons in your email series in celebration of Pride Month! The latest icon to be featured is Judy Shepard, the mother of Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old student at the University of Wyoming who was murdered in October 1998 in what became one of the most high-profile cases highlighting hate crimes against LGBTQ+ people. In the wake of her son's death, Judy Shepard channeled her grief into activism, becoming a powerful voice for LGBTQ+ rights and hate crime legislation.

President's Updates
This week I am excited to welcome eleven doctoral students to SDCCE for a tour of our Educational Cultural Complex; many of them are community college professionals and leaders within our region!
The Research Corner
This week, we invite you to check the article Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) Into Adult Education: Opportunities, Challenges, and Future Directions. The article suggests that adult educators should actively seek to understand and leverage AI technologies to enhance learning outcomes. Educators are encouraged to pursue continuous professional development to stay abreast of the latest AI advancements and best practices. Additionally, incorporating AI literacy into the curriculum is recommended to prepare learners for a future where AI will play a significant role in various aspects of life and work. Please take a minute to review this resource and email jsalcedo001@sdccd.edu if you have any questions.

President's Office Hours are back! Individual zoom meetings will be 20 minutes and are available on a first come first serve basis. If you would like to schedule a virtual appointment with me, please email sdccepresident@sdccd.edu for detailed information.
