Superintendent/President David Wain Coon, Ed.D. addressed faculty, staff, and administrators on Wednesday, August 17, 2016, at Convocation. These remarks were delivered after the audience viewed a seven-and-a-half minute video chronicling the tragic events that occurred over the summer. Remarks included a call to action requesting that the dialog continue both in and out of the classroom on how we as a College can better understand each other and our students.

As of today, August 22, the Online Writing Center (OWC) is open 24/7 to help students with writing assignments for all college subjects. Students can get free help with grammar, idea development, and organization, as well as with research and essays. There are self-help materials and instructional specialists (tutors) who respond to student posts within 24 hours. The OWC also assists students with transfer, scholarship, and job applications, including resumes and cover letters.

Earlier this summer College of Marin lost long-time professor and UPM union leader Paul Christensen.  Paul retired in December 2012 after 40 years of teaching Sociology and Behavioral Sciences.  Paul was highly regarded by his students and colleagues.  I encourage you to read the July 2016 UPM Newsletter which is a memorial issue in honor and memory of Paul’s life work.

Instead, the new College of Marin home page will feature From the President’s Desk, a blog that feeds all the articles that would have been included in the President’s Weekly Briefing once they are submitted and edited for publication.
