Tenure trek is over

Tuesday, April 22, Peralta Community College District hosted a reception for those of us who made it through the tenure process. it was a fun event, that ended with the start of the Board Meeting where trustees and newly honored faculty received a certificate and congratulations from Chancellor Elihu Harris and other board members. it was so cool to be welcomed again by Mr. Harris who was mayor when he made me Library Advisory Commissioner. I have admired him from his days in the California Assembly. It was a fun evening which continued at Yoshi's at the Mo'Rockin' Project CD release party where Glen Pearson, my colleague from COA also was celebrating the end or the arduous four year process. It really did feel like graduation. No money but, then some things are priceless, like an education.
