Dear SDCCE Community,
The synergy in the room was incredible during the first day of our 2022 Fall Convocation and deeply felt across SDCCE. Where we have been as one of California's largest noncredit institutions is astonishing, and there is no limit to where we are going — to transform the lives of San Diego's adult students. Thank you to our powerful spoken word performers, musicians, and baile folklorico dancer who are all from southeastern San Diego. A very special congratulations to SDCCE's first student trustee, Julia Kogan, and our entire student panel for sharing their journey on stage with us. Yesterday was very memorable personally as it was my first-time leading convocation together with you all. The future is certainly bright! Take a look back through photos. View photo gallery 1 and photo gallery 2 to download and share.
The excitement continues today and tomorrow during SDCCE's Fall Convocation Flex Days. Please join our dynamic speakers in person and virtually via Zoom to facilitate workshops around diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-racism, and accessibility.
