March 2016 - Bellwether Awards - Ana Camacho, STEM
Cañada College’s Math Jam was selected as a finalist by the Community College Futures
Assembly for the prestigious Bellwether Awards. This award recognizes outstanding
and innovative programs and practices that are successfully leading community colleges.
The college was recently recognized during the Assembly’s 22nd annual conference in
Orlando, FL .
This past December, the Community College Futures Assembly announced ten outstanding community college programs (for three categories) as the Finalists to compete for the 2016 Bellwether Awards – among them Math Jam. The Assembly issued a call for Bellwether Award nominations in the fall of 2015, and 30 finalist colleges in three categories were competitively chosen from the applicants. The field of Bellwether nominations was very competitive this year with nearly 300 Bellwether applications. Prior to the application process, over 1,000 community college programs were nominated from a wide range of agencies including peer institutions, conferences, and the media. Cañada College, a federally designated Hispanic-serving institution, created the Math Jam program in 2009 to address the low level of math preparation of underrepresented students studying STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Initially it was designed as an intensive math placement preparation program and has since evolved into a campus-wide math success program, serving students in pre-algebra through advanced calculus. Today, the College has offers day and evening Math Jam sessions three times a year – January, June & August – serving more than 450 students.
February 2016 - Cañada's Classified Employee of the Year - Maria Huning
Maria Huning, Program Services Coordinator for Upward Bound, has been selected as
Cañada’s nominee for the Community College Classified Employee of the Year Award.
Maria is a valuable member of Cañada College and the San Mateo County Community College
District. She has demonstrated her commitment to the principles of the California
Community College mission and the mission of Cañada College for the past 12 years
through her professionalism and service to the college. Her advocacy for students
and families has naturally evolved to become what it is today-- an excellent example
of the powerful role that classified staff have in fulfilling the college mission.
Maria understands the importance of becoming involved in the life of the college and
has demonstrated her commitment to serving the college in a variety of ways. She has
served three terms as the Vice President of the Classified Senate. She has taken a
leadership role in professional development, including working closely with the Classified
Senates at Skyline College and College of San Mateo on key issues and topics, including
developing a unified voice and assisting them in exercising their ability to advocate.
She also has played a key role in developing the Classified Professional Development
work group to establish a clear and transparent process for allocating professional
development funds to classified staff at the college. Additionally, she collaborates
with the Associated Students of Cañada College in planning college events for students.
Finally, she is a member of a number of key participatory governance committees and
is involved in a
variety of college activities that support the college mission.
Maria was recognized at the February 17 Board of Trustees meeting and congratulated
by Vice President Gregory Anderson. Thank you, Maria - your collective commitment
and dedication to our students help to make Cañada great!
