But it’s very much a collaborative effort between the various departments—such as Student Empowerment and Success, Workforce Strategies, BEDI Services, Facilities Management and others. That continuous collaboration is necessary to ensure the right decisions are being made to respond appropriately to those needs, not just for the moment, but for many years to come.”
Jon expressed his excitement for his part in the continued success of Delta College and its vision of being the national leader in innovation for community college education and its mission of empowering our diverse community in achieving their goals.
