Bringing Creative Concepts to Life

As a follow-up to the District-wide "Convocation on Innovation" held in January 2015 and Chancellor Benjamin's announcement of an innovation fund for multi-college projects, Los Medanos College has launched its own INNOVATION initiative. Members of the College community are invited to submit proposals for innovative projects never before implemented at LMC. Proposals should demonstrate the potential for expanding LMC's institutional capacity by: improving student success; addressing the achievement gap; or increasing enrollment, retention, equitable practices, efficiencies, and/or cost-savings. Up to $100,000 is being set aside for an "innovation account" that will serve as the funding source for LMC Innovation Proposals, which may request resources for a period of 1-3 years.

 

Please see below for additional details outlined in the College-wide "call for proposals" and the proposal form. COMPLETED PROPOSALS MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY TO THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE BY 5:00 P.M. ON TUESDAY, MAY 12, 2015; please email all materials to jadams@losmedanos.edu.

 

For more information about the INNOVATION initiative, please contact Ruth Goodin at rgoodin@losmedanos.edu or extension 37314.

veterans task force

In December 2012, President Kratochvil established a task force to examine the needs of student veterans at Los Medanos College. This task force was asked to explore and make specific recommendations on developing more comprehensive services aimed at easing the transition of military personnel to college life. The group’s charge included: identifying and mitigating obstacles; assisting LMC's soldiers-turned-students with various forms of support; and engaging student veterans to improve their chances of success in the classroom, on campus, and beyond. The task force focused its efforts through four sub-committees, which addressed the areas of counseling services, employment services, textbook support, and staffed resource center. Below are the reports produced by each of the subcommittees:
