Interim President Dr. Linda Fontanilla engages with campus and communitymembers at a “My Campus, My Community, My Culture” forum in October.

Throughout the months of October and November, San Bernardino Valley College’s Office of the President hosted a series of events called "My Campus, My Community, My Culture," led by Interim President Dr. Linda Fontanilla. The series of open forums created a space for open dialogue and discussion about the diverse cultures and communities that contribute to the sociocultural fabric of SBVC’s employee family.

 

The sessions allowed attendees to engage in free discussion, sharing their concerns, perspectives, and insights with each other and Dr. Fontanilla. Administrators were able to hear the diverse needs of campus constituents, as well as to explore effective strategies to ensure that employee voices are heard and their unique life experiences are respected.

 

"At SBVC, we have a commitment to cultivating safe environments where diversity isn't just acknowledged but embraced," said Dr. Linda Fontanilla. "Through initiatives like this, we're fostering a workplace that thrives on the strength of our differences."
