Campus Update: North Bay Fires




 Campus Update: North Bay Fires


Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by the North Bay fires. Cañada College will remain open with classes continuing as scheduled.  For the safety of the campus community, all outdoor activities are cancelled and we will provide an update when they resume. 

The College will continue to evaluate the situation and provide updates as needed. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to remain indoors and monitor email, the college website and social media for updates.

 College Welcomes First  

Promise Scholarship Cohort






This Fall, the Cañada College launched its Promise Scholarship and welcomed its first ever Cañada Scholars cohort. There are 47 students receiving the scholarship and come from diverse backgrounds, including Student Athletes, Student Ambassadors, students in programs such as TRIO, ESO Adelante, Puente. The students are also connected with the Disability Resource Center, STEM Center, Transfer Center and SparkPoint along with many other programs and services. 

The College welcomed Cañada Scholars to a Welcome Event where students were greeted by President Moore, met their fellow cohort members and ate lunch while interacting with staff to win Bookstore gift cards. At the event, 40 students attended and 30 students signed up for mid-semester progress check-ins with their Promise Counselor, Daryan Chan. The STEM Center, Financial Aid, SparkPoint and the Counseling Center were all present and offered great advice and support to students.
