Urgent Help Needed for PPE Supplies

, ,

Dear Linda,

I hope this message finds you safe and sound. I’m emailing with an important request. Would you help me forward this message to your Program Deans/Directors?  We’ve been asked to help inventory key supplies. Forgive me if you already received this.

John Cordova (SD for health) has put together this useful inventory link – please read the message below and forward to your college Deans/Directors as we work to get a solid inventory of these key materials for each of our sector programs. The goal is to collect the information by EOB Tuesday 3/24/20.

Thanks in advance for any help. Stay healthy, stay hopeful.

-Joy

PPE Inventory Link

Email Request: 3/20/2020

The California Community College Chancellor’s Office with the state Office of Emergency Services (OES) and the Operations Center coordinating the COVID-19 response has asked that the California Community Colleges conduct an inventory of masks and other PPE that may be currently available at our colleges.

The Chancellor’s Office is asking that our program assists in developing a list that generally describes what products are available and where and a point of contact at each college.

We understand that precise numbers may be difficult to ascertain, but estimates by college and by region would be beneficial. Due to a limited supply of PPE statewide, we are seeking the assistance of the CC’s to provide our front line workers with possible support of resources. PLEASE do not at the time send out the supplies, unless otherwise directed by your local district of the Chancellor’s Office.

This information will be provided to the OES Logistics Task Force per their request.

Thank you for your assistance.

State Fire Training COVID19 Letter

, , , ,

Hi Everyone,

I asked SFT to give us their stance on COVID19 and mandatory campus transitions to distance education and campus closures. Chief Henning put together very clear language on their expectations for ARTP’s. I also sat through the Public Safety Deans zoom meting this morning. The majority of the participants are keeping their academy programs open during “Tier 2” implementation. When I receive additional information I will discriminate it to you. Do not hesitate to call me at 530-718-4853 if you have questions. Please review the following document:

Hayward Award 2020 – Tracy Rickman

, , , ,

 Sent on behalf of Superintendent/President Dr. Arturo Reyes:

On behalf of the Board of the Trustees and the Academic Senate, I am pleased to announce that Tracy Rickman, former Fire Academy Coordinator, will be honored with the Hayward Award for “Excellence in Education” at the March 2020 Board of Governors meeting in Sacramento.

This award, which is sponsored by the Foundation for California Community Colleges, recognizes community college faculty who demonstrate the highest level of commitment to their students, college and profession on an annual basis. Tracy Rickman was nominated by our Academic Senate for his outstanding service to Río Hondo College for 22 years and his active participation on campus. There are only four (4) award recipients for this prestigious award each year: two full-time and two part-time faculty.

The competition is high as each local Academic Senate can submit a nomination. The nominees from the entire state are then reviewed and selected by a selection committee and ranked on their commitment to: serving and empowering students from diverse background and experiences; campus, professional, and/or student activities; education and currency in their discipline; the mission of the California community colleges and open access; and, the community, state, and/or national activities that represent their profession.

Tracy Rickman was featured in the October 2019 issue of the Focus on Río e-newsletter in October 2019.  In case you missed it, below is a screenshot of the profile where you could read all about his extensive background and contribution to Río Hondo College.  The website links to both the e-newsletter and the news article in the Greenleaf Guardian are also below.

Please join me in congratulating Tracy Rickman!
