BACKGROUND
At the January 16, 2018 City/Mission College Liaison Committee meeting, the Committee discussed the transition from regular City/Mission College Liaison Committee meetings to having Mission College updates at City Council meetings. The City/Mission College Liaison Committee agreed to have two committee liaison meetings per year and two Mission College presentations at City Council meetings in lieu of quarterly liaison committee meetings.
In an effort to keep the City Council and the community informed on the current activities at the college, Mission College President Daniel Peck and members of the Mission College Board of Trustees will provide periodic updates on the college’s projects and programs at City Council meetings.
DISCUSSION
For the first Mission College presentation, Daniel Peck, President of Mission College, and members of the College Board of Trustees will attend the May 8, 2018 City Council meeting to provide an update to the City Council. This presentation will include an overview of the transformation of the physical campus with new buildings.
The Mayor and Council will also recognize Mission College’s Marketing Office for being awarded at the 2018 Community College Public Relations Organization (CCPRO) Conference held on April 11-13, 2018. Mission College was awarded “Best in State” for its printed schedule, printed catalog, and semi-annual newsletter. Mission College was also awarded second place for its tropical ecology poster and third place for its outdoor banners. Niall Adler, Mission College’s Director of Marketing, Public Relations, and Sports Information, will attend on behalf of Mission College’s Marketing Office and give a presentation on the college’s achievements at the CCPRO Conference.
