CalWORKs Team Forges Community Partnerships to Assist Students
|
 Students in the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program at SBVC have received additional support during the pandemic.
Thanks to the partnerships facilitated over the years between SBVC and its local community partners, CalWORKs students were recently gifted 70 new laptops by the Great Harvest Community Center. "This type of donation is a tremendous weight off of their shoulders, knowing that they're going to have their own technology," said Shalita Tillman, CalWORKs & Workforce Development Manager. "I think the feeling of the ownership that they get from receiving these laptops is something that is going to elevate their education, and it was just phenomenal. You could just see the appreciation in the students' faces. This donation represents empowerment to our students." Additionally, the CalWORKs students received Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including face masks, gloves and hand sanitizer from the San Bernardino branch of the Census Bureau. Furthermore, students were gifted gas cards from the CalWORKs program to assist with various transportation costs.

Students Want Online Learning Options Post-Pandemic
When colleges switched to emergency remote instruction last year, some online learning advocates feared the hasty transition would leave students with a negative impression of online learning.
Despite the challenges and shortcomings of this emergency transition to remote instruction, a majority of students want the option to keep studying online, according to new survey results. The survey includes responses from 772 teaching faculty, 514 academic administrators and 1,413 students who were registered at a U.S. higher education institution for both the fall 2020 and spring 2021 semesters.
