South Orange County Community College District

"Many leaders are engaging in frank and difficult conversations with attention to community engagement; curriculum and pedagogy; data and data collection; student services; and campus policies and procedures to ensure that every student, faculty and staff member is welcomed as a full and equal member of the campus community." #diversity #equity #inclusion #communitycollege

We've all had to adjust and transform the way we interact, educate, and learn, as a response to this pandemic. "Crises like what we experienced in 2020 have the potential to bring out the best in us in 2021, but only if we open our eyes and minds to see and explore new possibilities rather than hope for a return to 2019." #communitycollege #2021 #transformationthursday

While the news to opt out of Spring I Sport competition is not news anyone in athletics wants to hear, it does represent an honest understanding of the current and projected status of the COVID pandemic, Athletic Director Randy Totorp said in a release. We balance a fine line of student opportunity with the highest concern, but the safety of our students, staff, and families is at the forefront of this decision. #OCsports #communitycollege #IVC #Saddlebackcollege #athletics

Just more reasons for us to love our city! https://bit.ly/2Wy9Yw7

SOCCCD implements new process for tracking and reporting COVID-19 exposure. "The passing of AB-685 left districts across the state seeking solutions. After conducting a thorough competitive process, we determined that only trase.app offered the necessary software and hardware combination to ensure full AB-685 compliance," said Nick Newkirk, Purchasing & Contracts Manager at SOCCCD. #COVID19 #reporting #safety
