Academic Senate
Welcome to the Academic Senate of SBVC
The Academic Senate is the voice of SBVC faculty in academic and professional matters. We make recommendations to the District and our college administration on curriculum, academic standards, and other key areas under the Senate's "10+1" purview.
Through shared governance, we work to enhance teaching excellence and student success. We invite all faculty members to participate—your expertise helps shape SBVC's academic future.
Everyone's Welcome!
