Did You Know...
Vote-by-Mail Ballot Dropbox at Chabot
|
|
In collaboration with the Alameda County Registrar of Voters, we are thrilled to share Chabot College has a Vote-by-Mail Ballot Dropbox.
This dropbox is available for all members of the community to drop-off a mail-in ballot postage-free. The Registrar of Voters' staff will pick-up ballots and ensure your vote is counted.
The dropbox is located at the entrance to Chabot, near the bus stop, and is installed next to the USPS mailbox.
|
|
|
Alameda and all California counties will begin mailing ballots to each of its registered voters no later than October 5. Mailed ballots must be postmarked by November 3, or in Alameda County may be returned to the Registrar of Voters' office, any 24-hour dropbox, or any polling place before 8:00 p.m. on November 3.

Emergency Aid Update:
Over $93,000 Distributed in September!
|
|
|
|
Since March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Friends of Chabot College has distributed over $340,000 in aid to students in the form of direct cash grants, Chromebooks, and wi-fi hotspots. This includes over $93,000 in direct aid distributed just in the month of September.
|
|
Funds have come from a number of public and private donors including the Stupski Foundation, United Way Bay Area, Fremont Bank, the U.S. Department of Education CARES Act and Hayward Promise Neighborhood funds, the Foundation for CA Community Colleges and individual donors including Chabot College employees. By leveraging private donations, we were able to provide aid for over 100 undocumented and international students who may not qualify for some forms of federal aid. |

Two Truths and a Lie
Book Proceeds Benefit Chabot Students

|
|
Two Truths and a Lie: As We See It is a newly published anthology by a group of Bay Area writers featuring writing from former Chabot College Dean, Connie Clark.
All proceeds from the sale of Two Truths and a Lie will be donated to the Connie Clark Memorial Scholarship to support reentry students at Chabot College. Two of these scholarships were already awarded in Spring 2020.

The Dr. Lois Jones-Rasberry Foster Youth Scholarship |
|
This scholarship was established in memory of Chabot College employee, Dr. Lois Jones-Rasberry, who passed suddenly in late August. She served as the Project Director of the Foster and Kinship Care Education Program with over 18 years of experience teaching, supporting, and serving foster youth and their fostering and adoptive families. In this work, she manifested daily loving kindness and commitment to the community. For those who knew her professionally or personally, she radiated accomplishment and caring.
Scholarship funds will benefit foster youth students. To contribute to the Dr. Lois Jones-Rasberry Foster Youth Scholarship, click the donate button below. Thank you to everyone who has already contributed!
