“I know where I’m headed,

but I don’t know exactly

where I’m going in life.

But, wherever I go, I know

I will be successful.”

Pupils find event helpful, staff presents tips, aid

Annual science fair displays knowledge

“An event like (the science fair) supports science edu-cation and through which

we can support local schools and have people

come to the campus.”

“Before the convoca-tion, I didn’t know

about any of the ser-vices that the school offers. After listening

to speakers, I feel more comfortable with staff and feel that they are really here to help me

and put me on the right path to succeed.”

Expert encourages aspiring professionals

“We all work together really well, and I am looking for-ward to working with our

newly hired vice chancellor.”

Vacant district position filled by al-Amin

“With so many engineering stu-dents (at Contra Costa College), I thought a site visit from some-

one at PG&E to talk to them

would be a great idea. Dan Thomas jumped at the chance to

do it.”
