Friends of MiraCosta College: Unlike any other period in the history of this community, the last 18 months have been nothing less than surreal, uncertain, unprecedented, and beyond stressful. The global health crisis and economic challenges caused by the pandemic have affected us all. The lives lost, the livelihoods distressed, and the futures altered are almost unthinkable. Meanwhile, the issues of racial violence and oppression, which have persisted far too long, continue. This moment in time necessitated innovation. From virtual and drive-through commencements, celebrations, and art performances to shipping lab kits to students; faculty and staff were inspired, and learning never ceased. While our methods and modes of service evolved, our integrity and firm adherence to our values and goals remained aligned with our actions. Our commitment is to create a racially just campus where individuals and their diverse cultures and identities are welcomed, nurtured, and validated. As a collective of faculty, classified professionals, administrators, board members, students, donors, and regional leaders, we supported one another as our vision to transform lives and communities through learning remained clear. Through MiraCosta College’s dedication, passion, and service, we rose up to meet this moment. We now come together to focus on the future we seek to create. As the only community college in the nation broadly working with the Institute For The Future (IFTF), we are boldly leading our community in creating just, equitable, and sustainable futures. Sunita V. Cooke, Ph.D. Superintendent/President MiraCosta College

EQUITABLE ACCESS Expanding Workforce Opportunities in North County San Diego The recent pandemic and subsequent recession have been a wake-up call for California, creating a critical need for employers, economic development organizations, education, and city governments to work closely together to foster workforce development in a more coordinated and effective way. MiraCosta College responded to the call. Cooperative Education Reskilling & Training Pilot Program Thanks to the support of California Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath, MiraCosta College’s Technology Career Institute (TCI) received $3.5 million in state funding for a Cooperative Education Reskilling and Training Pilot Program. The pilot program will offer several not- for-credit programs that can be completed in three to six months, including engineering technician, machinist technology, unmanned systems, welding, biomedical equipment technician, and craft brewing technician. Each program offers disadvantaged and unemployed adults the opportunity to reskill while gaining on-the-job experience through paid internships. “The pilot program provides rapid retraining of workers and will allow students to earn while they learn, which enhances their skill development and job placement opportunities while providing income. These types of intensive, hands-on training programs are particularly important for individuals who may face barriers to accessing training and employment opportunities, including veterans, high school and alternative high school graduates, non- traditional learners, and unemployed/underemployed workers,” explains MiraCosta College Superintendent/ President Dr. Sunita “Sunny” Cooke. 8 The Faces of Resilience

EQUITABLE ACCESS Pathways to Computing for Women of Color Women and people of color are profoundly underrepresented in STEM-related careers. In an effort to address this gap, through a new partnership with the University of California, Irvine (UCI), MiraCosta College has developed the Pathways to Computing for Women of Color initiative to open more doors to careers in the computer science industry. The goal of this partnership is to increase the number of women of color pursuing bachelor’s degrees in computing by providing access to professional mentors, industry tours, academic success workshops, conference NERY CHAPETON-LAMAS funding, and a small stipend. Both schools will also explore transfer agreements that meet the needs of women of color in computing. “It opens doors to more of our students to get accepted into the UC, Irvine program, and to also become mentors for MiraCosta College students,” says Nery Chapeton-Lamas, a MiraCosta College computer science professor who chairs the Computer Science Department. The need is profound. According to the National Science Foundation, women account for less than 18 percent of those earning bachelor’s degrees in computing; and the Integrated Education Data System reports that just 8.4 percent of all bachelor’s degrees in computing went to Latinx students. Initiatives at MiraCosta College are helping to reverse that trend because more than 60 percent of our computer science students are from communities of color and 24.6 percent are female.

EQUITABLE ACCESS Taking Action for the Future MiraCosta College is steadfast in its commitment to become an anti-racist campus community that is grounded in our values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. In our journey, MiraCosta College has made progress to ensure our disproportionately impacted and historically marginalized students have all the opportunities to succeed. Individually and collectively, faculty, staff, and administrators have taken action toward a more just and equitable future. “It is a joy to support students by Success of PUENTE connecting them to academic faculty, administrators, staff, PUENTE Project is an award-winning initiative and community mentors.” that has bolstered the college-going rate for tens of thousands of California students from —Sinar Lomeli, underrepresented communities for more than three PUENTE Project counselor decades.

PUENTE Project students are guided through the college experience in cohorts. They attend conferences on transferring to a four-year college or university and take consecutive writing classes to build confidence in their skills by exploring literature through the Mexican American experience. Dr. Violeta Sanchez, PUENTE Project English professor explains, “PUENTE Project focuses on helping students transfer to four-year colleges and universities. We work closely with our students to provide the support they need and help them navigate the transfer process. PUENTE has a remarkably high success rate.” Annual Report 2020-21

COMMUNITY COLLABORATION Photos courtesy of Feeding San Diego Students Give & Receive at Campus Farmers Markets MiraCosta College Farmers Market Distributes 166,000 pounds of food to more than 15,000 students. MiraCosta College students are driven by a desire to give back to the community. Though our students may be suffering from food insecurity themselves, they volunteer at the monthly food distribution events and on- campus food pantry offered free to all MiraCosta College students. Throughout the past year, more than 15,000 students were served by the distribution of 166,000 pounds of healthy meals at the monthly farmers markets. Additionally, more than $5 million in federal and local funds were administered by the college to assist with food, shelter, technology, childcare, and other emergency needs. “We grew up pretty poor and we’ve benefited from services like this in the past, so it makes sense to turn around and help out in turn,” says MiraCosta College student Edgar Herrera. “There are a lot of people in need.” MiraCosta College provides many opportunities to volunteer. Through a campus-wide collaboration with the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank and Feeding San Diego, MiraCosta College offers a free, monthly food distribution program known as Farmer’s Market for You. In addition, a pantry overseen by the Campus Assessment, Resources & Education (CARE) Program offers case management and referrals for students experiencing food insecurity and other basic needs. Nicole Walls, a returning student who earned an associate degree in general studies in 2004, is now enrolled in the MiraCosta College Social Work and Human Services program. She learned about the farmers market through her work as a peer educator and began volunteering almost immediately. Walls has also relied on the farmers market to help feed herself and her family of five. With the training she is receiving in her degree studies, she will continue helping others while making a positive impact on her community. “The farmers market has really helped me,” says Walls. “It is a huge benefit. You can pick up fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, dry goods and canned goods. I can’t stress enough the importance of this resource. As for the volunteer work, I really enjoy being able to give back. It’s heartwarming to see the smiles on people’s faces when they get the groceries they need.” 12 The Faces of Resilience

Annual Report 2020-21 Oscar Silva Oscar Silva thought he wanted to go into the film industry and, after high school, moved to Hollywood. Disappointed, Silva dropped out of school. “I was confused because that had been my dream for so long,” he says. Silva took time off from school and two years later enrolled at MiraCosta College. “I started out focusing on entrepreneurial studies. I realized that I was interested in business and venture capital, but I didn’t think I could get into that field. You picture a venture capitalist as a sort of ‘prestigious’ position, something guys from Harvard do. I don’t see myself that way, so I tried to talk myself out of it.” Thank goodness his professor, Christina Sharp, stepped in. Once she identified Silva’s real interests, she connected him with mentor Aaron Byzak, a MiraCosta alumni who works as chief external affairs officer for Tri-City Medical Center. Silva no longer thinks the field is only for ‘prestigious’ guys from Ivy League schools. He’s focused on transferring to the University of California, Santa Barbara next fall and potentially pursuing a master’s degree. For students who are working toward their dreams, he recommends finding a great mentor and building your network. Silva adds, “You have to know what you really want. Sometimes, when you’re working so hard in school, having that vision is like a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s what gets you through. That’s what keeps me working so hard.” 19

COMMUNITY COLLABORATION A Community College with a Bachelor’s Degree California Assembly Bill AB 927 was signed into law, making MiraCosta College’s biomanufacturing baccalaureate degree program permanent. MiraCosta College was selected as one of 15 community colleges in California to participate in a pilot program that offers bachelor’s degrees to help students get jobs in high- demand fields important in the regional economy. The program prepares students to work in biological production— the unique segment of biotechnology where science thrives in partnership with quality and compliance. While existing biotechnology degree programs in California focus on research and the initial stages of product development, MiraCosta College’s unique biomanufacturing degree focuses on the process involved in the latter stages of biotech development and production. 20 The Faces of Resilience

COMMUNITY COLLABORATION Annual Report 2020-21 Yesenia Leon Yesenia Leon’s family immigrated to the United States after their lives were physically threatened in Mexico. While her father wanted the best for her, going to college was not considered a possibility for Yesenia or her siblings. One day she and a friend were talking about going back to school, and they looked up MiraCosta College online. “That’s when I saw their new Biotechnology Program, and I got so excited. I started looking into it.” Since then, Leon has graduated from MiraCosta College and procured a job at Genentech, a global, ground-breaking pharmaceutical company. “It’s a dream come true,” she says. “I love my job!” Leon plans to keep learning and growing at Genentech, where she is a biotech process technician. “Now that I’m here, I want to learn everything,” she explained. She has big plans, too—she hopes to earn her Ph.D. in the future. 21

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Commencement This past year, MiraCosta College has done new things that physical space may have restricted us from doing previously— from hosting large events online to delivering the arts into homes for many to enjoy. MiraCosta College awarded the largest number of degrees and certificates in our history with a virtual commencement ceremony and events like the Drive of Champions in honor of the spring 2021 graduates. 22 The Faces of Resilience

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Resilience Graduate Emanuel Prince delivered the 2021 commencement address. Prince started at MiraCosta College in the Summer Bridge Program and has been a strong advocate for students who have been historically underserved. He has been involved in the Black Student Union, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, Umoja, and was the first Associated Student Government Vice President of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. Prince received an Associate of Science degree in Administration of Justice, and transferred to California State University, Dominguez Hills. His grade point average earned him a spot on the Dean’s and President’s lists. The virtual commencement ceremony also included the words of a student poet. Nani (Helen LeNani) Highland-Coslow worked 27 jobs in her 46 years. After she left her last job during the 2018 government shutdown, she enrolled at MiraCosta College. She joined Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, was vice president of the MANA Club (a program that builds community among Pacific Islander students), performed in MiraCosta dance recitals, and was published twice in the MiraCosta College literary journal Tidepools. On the Dean’s and President’s lists, Highland-Coslow received an Associate of Arts degree in English and plans to earn a Ph.D. in English/Literature to become a professor, published author-poet-novelist, and Kumu Hula—a master teacher of Hula.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE ALUMNI SIGHTINGS Excelling beyond normal limits into the realm of the extraordinary, MiraCosta College alumni embody resilience in the face of adversity. Christine Duffy MiraCosta College alumna Christine Duffy was first exposed to dance through her parents. Both skilled break dancers in their own right, they would take Christine to dance battles when she was a child. Since then, dance has always played a major role in Duffy’s life. In 2016, Duffy was rehearsing for a dance competition when her knee gave out and she collapsed to the floor. “It was a sad and scary moment for me,” recalled Duffy. “I thought I wouldn’t be able to get back on the dance floor and do what I love ever again.” In the months that followed, Duffy spent her time in physical therapy. The success of her recovery is now a major driver behind her current career path. Today, she is on her way to obtaining her Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology (movement science) from California State University, San Marcos. Duffy explains that even though she has graduated, MiraCosta will always feel like home. Last year during the pandemic, she created performances and shared them via Zoom with classmates and faculty. She hopes to return and perform for her MiraCosta family in person. “MiraCosta invested in me inside and outside the classroom,” Duffy says. 28 The Faces of Resilience

MIRACOSTA COLLEGE FOUNDATION Letter from the Dear Friends: Foundation President Thank you for the tremendous support. Our donors, foundation, community, and staff rose to the challenge to meet this demanding moment for MiraCosta College students. Through resilience, flexibility, innovation, and determination, the MiraCosta College Foundation has remained focused on our vision to be an institution of higher education fully accessible to all students. Working collaboratively, our donors helped us raise money for direct student aid through emergency grants, scholarships, and essential innovation grants for virtual student and college programs. The generous donations will continue to transform lives for many students— today and into the future. In addition, the endowment program continued to provide the essential scholarships that keep students in school. This year we raised $1,146,485 and distributed more than $618,882 towards college programs, student aid, and scholarships. As my last year as president of the foundation, it has been a privilege to serve and has genuinely taught me the lesson that in giving, we receive. Thank you.
