What's Happening at Cañada Header

 

Accreditation Virtual Open Forum: March 11 from 2-3 p.m.

As part of Cañada’s current comprehensive institutional accreditation review, the 5-member peer review team has requested time to meet in an open, virtual setting with members of the Cañada campus community. You are invited to participate in a Virtual Open Forum with the ACCJC peer review team on:

Wednesday, March 11 from 2-3 p.m.

Virtual Session: Join the Open Forum via Zoom

Meeting ID: 845 0756 2677

This is a great opportunity for faculty, staff and students to share their experiences at the College with the peer review team in an open and welcoming setting. Your voice and perspective truly matter and play an important role in the accreditation process. We encourage you to join and be part of this meaningful conversation. Please note that SMCCCD Board Members, the College President and the senior leadership team will not be present, allowing community members to speak openly and candidly with the peer review team. Thank you for being engaged and for helping strengthen our College community.
