By Marcos Estrada
The Eagle soars above the palm trees
Down the long walkway
Its perch is in the center
Where many Eagles come to hang
From the trees and rest their wings
The Eagles busy day takes him
Along the path of greatness
He shoots above the stars
When he achieves his goals
The only place this happens is WCC
The place where Eagles fly free
Free to spread its wings
The buildings a perfect home
For the Eagles to roam
To complete their tasks
With every subject from Accounting to
Math
The Eagles home is a perfect path
Another time the Eagle flies free
Is when it has graduated to infinity
The poetry club meets at noon on
Tuesdays in room 843
On Thursday, February 16th, Woodland Community College partnered with the California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation (CRLAF) to
host a Know Your Rights Forum for students and their families. The forum was attended by approximately 70 students, faculty and
administration and focused on important immigration rightswhat may change and what will not change. As President Trump has
promised to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), understanding our rights is the utmost importance . To help inform the
student body and ensure this information reaches all students and faculty, I would like to share with you how you can find out more
information or contact the CRLAF for legal assistance.
Our campus is also a Safe Zone with a pledge to keep our campus a safe and open environment for everyone. You may have spotted a
letter from our President, Dr. White and members of the Board of Trustees around the campus that answers a few frequent questions.
If you would like to view the pledge or the letter online,
please visithttps://wcc.yccd.edu/about/safe-zone/.

(continued from page 1)According to Prof. Lanier, what makes this project so exciting are all
of the ways it can positively impact our campus and larger community. The main goal for me
is just to bring the math and science students together and give them a common problem to
work on and try to solve. But, the ultimate goal would be to try to save farmers money and to
try to deal with drought in California. To do what we can to help in any way possible.
Time has been, and continues to be, a challenge for Prof. Lanier and his students. They
announced the grant the first week of December and it was due a month later. So, we had
less than a month [to get the proposal together] including Christmas. So, we put the grant
together and we had to talk to the President of the college and the Vice President to make
sure they were on board and were in support of the project. Then, we submitted it. We found
out we got it [earlier this semester], and so now we have to find a field, plants, and find the
parts we need to build the drone. So, the struggle right now is just kind of getting it all
planned out. We haven't really started full steam on the project yet so I don't know what the
struggles will be during the project. Right now its the space, job assignments for everybody,
and getting the pieces and parts put together.
Putting together a project like this has been a goal of Prof Laniers since he first came to WCC.
I have really wanted to do is to have students feel connected. I want students to feel like
they belong and they are part of something bigger than themselves. So I am always willing to
do whatever the students want to try if it increases their excitement about learning and gets
them involved. So when they came to me and asked me, I thought it would be a great
opportunity to get a group of students not in a class, not for grades, just having fun and
learning something new together, so I completely supported that.

GET TO KNOW THE FACULTY By Gurtaj Grewal
At WCC, we are lucky to have faculty who really want us to be successful during our time on campus
but in our futures as well! That is why we sort out one of these dedicated individuals to chat with
them about their role here and a few pieces of advice for students! We are pleased to bring you a
interview with our very own, Jose Vallejo, a WCC Professor and counselor!
As a counselor and a teacher at WCC, what is your favorite part of your job? My absolute favorite
part is working with students. I really enjoy that. I enjoy the diversity of the student population we
have at Woodland Community College. Everything from ethnicity to age and the various majors. So I
really appreciate the opportunity to work with students and sit down and help them in guiding them
towards their academic objective. So, thats really the highpoint of my work at Woodland
Community College. The opportunity I have of reaching out to students and working with them and
being part of their journey. I am just one part of it because we have some wonderful staff here that
students can access as they travel their journey towards their ultimate goal and on to their
professional lives.
What advice do you have for those who want to be a counselor one day? My advice to one who
wants to be a counselor one day, is to make sure that they are certain about this goal. I always tell
students to find where your passion lies. If it is working with individuals and one day you want to
become a counselor, and you feel passionate about working with people and helping people then
pursue it. My advice would be, to prepare yourself academically and also through internships and
talking to other individuals that are in the profession. Go beyond a bachelor degree because I think
when you go beyond a bachelor degree, into a masters degree, It really broadens your options and
your opportunities and helps solidify what you want to do in the future. So, I would say keep
moving forward and follow that passion. If its counseling, do it but find what you like.
I know you like to eat food since you talked about it a lot in the Counseling-10 class, so what is
your favorite food? That's true. When it comes to favorite food, I would have to say, that's an area
where I don't have a favorite because I enjoy eating. I enjoy eating good food that is healthy and
trying different types of food. So it's very broad I guess you can say. Broad and I am consuming
different ones and a always open to trying new types and kinds of food.
Were there any moments in college in which you struggled or thought it was tough, but preserved
through it? Yes, there were. More than once I felt that it became challenging economically and at
times felt like you know, do I really want to do this? I think what carried me through those
challenging times was my passion for what I wanted to do. And knowing that my parents set the
foundation so that I could have better opportunities. It was important for me to take that example
of what they provided me. They were farm workers, so seeing them work so hard physically, it
reminded me that I can do this work when it's not physical, just more mental. What helped me
persevere is understanding that there's been individuals who set the path for me to help propel me.
I accepted the challenge; I said, You know what, I will do this, and thats when I realized that I was
going to successfully complete my goals. Theres always people on that journey who are going to
help you to continue moving forward. And so, I had that from instructors, counselors, and family
members that helped me persevere and continue reaching toward my goal.
In your opinion, would you recommend students to go to graduate school to get a masters or
PHD? Depending on what they want to do professionally. If you want to teach in higher education
then obviously you need to go beyond a bachelor's degree. I tell students that if you really want to
broaden your opportunities economically, the more education, the more income you're going to
earn. Those higher levels of education help develop you as an individual as you transition into the
profession. So, I usually do, but then again it depends on what the student wants to pursue.
Any advice to new students at WCC? Oh yes, I tell students to be ready to accept the challenge and
be prepared to take on this level of education. You are going to have to change some habits and
have some more grit. Not give up on your path. There's always gonna be challenges, but there's
always a way to address those challenges, and know that you are not alone here. We have a lot of
resources and a lot of help. So, don't ever go without asking for help. Don't suffer in silence. Theres
a lot of people on this campus who really care and that would help you, and want you to be
successful. So don't be afraid of reaching out and saying, I don't understand this. Everything from
financial aid, counseling, an instructor, anybody on this campus can be helpful. Don't be afraid to ask
for help because that's why we are here for. We are here to help you to succeed and to fulfill your
goal. We want you to be successful so don't give up. Reach out and get help. Like I said earlier, you
should never travel this journey alone. There's always people throughout the journey that are more
than willing to help you.

WHAT IS SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION?

The Student Success Center (SSC) has been working hard to provide more innovative ways to support student learning. In addition to tutoring services, we have launched a new student
service program Supplemental Instruction (SI). SI is a peer-facilitated academic assistance program that incorporates collaborative and hands-on learning activities for students enrolled in
targeted courses. In regularly scheduled group study sessions, students discuss assignments, review course concepts, and prepare for exams in fun and engaging ways. SI sessions are
facilitated by SI Leaders, students who have recently successfully completed the course, enjoy helping other students, and are training in teaching methodology.

The SI Purpose: WCC now offers SI for various courses including math, English, and Biology. All
1. To increase retention within targeted historically difficult courses. students enrolled in SI-supported courses are encouraged to attend. The Fall
2. To improve student grades in targeted historically difficult courses. Course Catalog will indicate if a course will be SI-supported. For more
3. To increase the graduation rate of students. information, please visit our website: wcc.yccd.edu/student/successcenter.

SI leaders gain a better perspective of the subject,

achieve better grades because SI leaders bring both

Check the facts!

SI was developed in 1973 at University of Missouri, Kansas City and
has been implemented in higher education institutions internationally.
SI has a proven track record of success when implemented under
the UMKC guidelines. Students who attend SI regularly tend to earn
higher grades than those who dont participate in SI.
SI helps students develop not only a better understanding of course
material but also transferable study skills.
SI leaders are trained, attend all class lectures, and work closely with
faculty and SSC Staff.
In addition to helping students enrolled in the class, SI provides an
opportunity for SI leaders to develop communication, leadership, and
professional skills.
SI is free, voluntary, and open to all students enrolled in a targeted
course.

ACCREDITATION INTERVIEW WITH DENA MARTIN BY GURTAJ GREWAL
Librarian and Faculty Member Dena Martin has served on five
accreditation teams at colleges all across California. She has also
contributed writing and evidence to WCCs last 2 accreditation ISERs.
This interview is part of a regular series of articles and interviews
planned to provide WCC students with information about the
accreditation process. If you would like more information about
accreditation or would like to get involved, please contact the ASWCC
at aswccreps@gmail.com or speak to Vice President Al Konuwa at
akonuwa@yccd.edu.
What is Accreditation?
Accreditation is a peer review process that ensures the quality and effectiveness of an educational institution by
setting minimum standards based on educational best practices that institutions are required to meet in order to
be accredited. The peers who review our college are from other colleges in the Western United States. The peers
include faculty (professors, librarians, counselors, etc.) and administration (college presidents, district chancellors,
etc.). They have a website, if you would like more information about the ACCJC, that you can find it at accjc.org.
Why is accreditation important to WCC?
It is important because this process gives colleges the opportunity to reflect on and evaluate what they do and
make improvements that ensures students are learning and are supported in their success. For that reason, being
accredited adds value to your education. Additionally, in some cases, employers look for candidates that have
graduated from an accredited institution knowing they received a quality educational experience.
How does it work?
Colleges, like WCC, conduct their own self-evaluation and write up an Institutional Self-Evaluation Report (ISER).
The ISER includes input from all levels of the district and college: employees, from classified staff, such as the
friendly faces in the Financial Aid Office, to faculty (college professors, counselors, librarians, etc.), as well college
administration and students. Then, it is approved by the Yuba Community College District (YCCD) Board of
Trustees, a group made up of faculty, staff, and students from the different campuses in the district. Once
approved, the ISER is published and sent to a peer review team. This peer review team, made up of faculty and
administration from other colleges outside our district, reads the report and reviews the provided evidence. After
the review, the peer review team will visit the campus and conduct interviews with individuals or small groups of
people to determine if the campus is meeting the standards agreed upon by the Accrediting Commission for
California Junior Colleges (ACCJC). The ACCJC grants accreditation to colleges throughout the Western region of the
United States. The peer review team will then write up their own report on the college for the ACCJC, which will
use that report, in addition to other information they may have to determine if a college is going to keep their
accreditation. This explanation is oversimplified, but generally this is the process.
Will students see things happening around campus related to accreditation?
Most students will probably not notice anything different. However, there will be more talk on campus and
increased activity about accreditation. When the peer review team comes to campus, students may see people
conducting interviews or even see a visiting team member observe their classroom. If a student is involved in
ASWCC or any campus committees, the student could be asked to be interviewed by the team.
Should students be involved? If so, how might a student get involved?
Yes! Students should have a say in the quality of their education. Since we are working at a public institution, it's
especially important, so WCC wants to have student input and feedback.
If a student is interested in getting involved, the best way to do so would be able to contact the Associated
Students of Woodland Community College (ASWCC). The ASWCC assigns students to campus committees to serve
as the student representative. If you're a member of a committee, you might end up being asked if you're available
to be interviewed by a peer review visiting team. Contact ASWCC at aswccreps@gmail.com for more information
about how to get involved.
Additionally, during the accreditation visit, there will be two open forums where anyone may speak to the peer
review visiting team members about the college. Students are welcome to attend and speak at the open forums.
The peer review visiting team will visit WCC in October 2018.
