San Mateo, CA – The San Mateo County Community College District (SMCCCD) will hold its board meeting on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, at 6 p.m. in the Jefferson Unified School District Boardroom in Daly City, CA. Following the successful model of the October 23, 2024, meeting held in East Palo Alto, the meeting location was chosen to further enhance engagement with residents of North San Mateo County. Community members can attend either in person or virtually to learn about SMCCCD’s enhanced educational pathways and opportunities available for local residents.
Mike Guingona, SMCCCD Board President, stated: “Holding our board meeting here in Daly City will further our campus relationship with the local communities and bring college-going opportunities closer to the Daly City communities and beyond.”
At the meeting, Skyline College Acting President Dr. Newin Orante will present on the college’s community partnerships, focusing on the educational opportunities offered through various innovative programs such as Dual Enrollment and the Promise Scholars Program. “We are honored to showcase our leadership in these initiatives which not only reflect our history of impact but also illuminate our vision for a brighter future in education for all students.”
Additionally, Daly City Mayor Dr. Rod Daus-Magbual will provide a brief State of the City address to inform the Board of Trustees about the needs of the community. “Skyline College has provided generations of young people in Daly City and throughout North San Mateo County with the opportunity to discover their purpose, transform themselves, and realize their potential,” Mayor Daus-Magbual said. “It is because of this impact that Daly City is proud to partner with and support Skyline College.”
SMCCCD invites all interested community members, families, community groups, and prospective students to attend this important meeting to learn more about the District’s initiatives and partnerships.
