On the issues

Let’s be honest, 2020 and 2021 were challenging years for most of us. Education was especially hit hard when classrooms closed for face-to-face instruction. Nevertheless, our Gavilan College faculty quickly pivoted to ensure students continued classes online. 

I want to prioritize student needs, ensuring they can afford to take classes, buy textbooks, and transportation. I will continue to advocate for three programs, among others to help minimize the financial burdens Gavilan College students face.

I care about our students and for many food insecurity is a issue. The Fresh Success program is a voluntary employment and training program serving students living in Santa Clara and San Benito County who are receiving or eligible to receive CalFresh (SNAP) benefits.

MOBILE FOOD PANTRY

Just In Time Mobile Food Pantry is a food distribution program for students, staff, and members of the surrounding Gavilan college community who are experiencing food insecurity. The program offers a wide selection of foods including fresh produce, dairy items and more.
