Campus officials meet for 'Coffee with the PEC' Series

Throughout the summer, President Contreras hosted a series of Coffee with the President's Executive Cabinet conversations, bringing together faculty, staff, and managers for informal discussions over coffee and light refreshments. These gatherings provided an open forum for colleagues to share concerns, offer feedback, and hear updates on key college initiatives.

Topics included fostering a deeper sense of community and belonging, enhancing campus safety protocols, and addressing recent concerns around ICE activity in the region. Attendees also discussed ideas for improving internal communication, strengthening student support systems, and celebrating the college’s upcoming centennial. The summer series concluded with a sense of shared purpose and renewed momentum as the campus prepares for a historic 2025–2026 academic year.
