News @ De Anza

President Holmes has announced the current search for the position of vice president of Instruction has been terminated and the forum set for Tuesday, Nov. 14, has been canceled.

De Anza has again been named one of the nation's top 150 community colleges by the prestigious Aspen Institute College Excellence Program, which has invited De Anza to enter a $1 million prize competition for colleges with outstanding performance in teaching, learning, equity and other factors.

De Anza's high transfer rates are cited in a new article that examines what community colleges can do to prepare and support students on their path to earning a university degree.

De Anza College has been notified of a recent data breach at the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), which may involve student data that the college reported to comply with financial aid regulations.

De Anza has been awarded $1.55 million in state funding over the next five years for a new cohort program to support historically underrepresented students who want to transfer in STEM majors.

With help from a three-year, $1.2 million state grant, De Anza's Child Development and Education Department is expanding an innovative apprenticeship program that offers students the opportunity to get paid while they work and take classes in their field.

The latest installment in De Anza's Video Help Series (VHS) takes a light approach to showing students how to use the new course registration interface that's now available for spring quarter.

Three members of the De Anza College community will be honored this month with Excellence Awards from the national League for Innovation in the Community College. The recipients were selected for their outstanding service to the college.

De Anza is pleased to welcome two important authors who will be speaking with campus audiences next week: Attorney and activist Steve Phillips will speak about anti-racist organizing and Pulitzer finalist Tommy Orange will discuss his novel with a Puente Learning Community class.

A new video celebrates the creation of "Stronger Together" - a mural honoring De Anza's student veterans that was painted last fall outside the Veteran Services office in the Seminar Building on the west side of campus.
