Letter from the President Welcome to Laney College! On behalf of the faculty, staff, and administrators, I would like to share with you some of the reasons why Laney will work for you, as it has worked for over 10,000 students each year since 1953. With student success as the focal point guiding all of our work, the Laney College student is well supported by an absolutely dynamic and committed group of subject matter experts who work passionately to foster student learning, as well as a student services support team who go over and beyond daily to help our students navigate the ins and outs of higher education. The versatility of the programmatic offerings at Laney provide options for all types of students… Laney is home to the students who are looking to complete a degree or certificate, the students who plan to transfer to four-year universities to continue their education, the students who are looking to brush-up on technical skills for work or prepare themselves fo r a profession/trade, and even the students who are looking to improve their college readiness skills for a smoother transition to college-level course-work. At Laney, we are keenly aware that when a student enrolls in classes, they are investing in themselves, and may need some help with wrap-around support services in order to be able to reach their full potential. Some of the resources afforded to Laney students include a weekly food pantry give-away, tutoring services, financial aid, programs such as CalWORKS, CARE & EOPS, and learning communities that help nurture and enrich particular groups of students in culturally appropriate ways that are proven to fa cilitate higher success rates. A dditionally, the cost of the community college route to achieving your higher education goals can’t be beat. If you are looking for a m ore cost-effective way of securing a bachelors or graduate degree, attending a community college, and then transferring on to obtain y our bachelor’s degree is the way to go. Laney alums have gone on to become successful entrepreneurs, business and community leaders, congressmen, and overall positive contributors to society. Finally, I challenge you to find a more exciting student life than the one you will find at Laney College. The liveliness of our campus p rovides our students with a culturally enriched experience that celebrates the unique and rich history of diversity, art and social a ctivism that the Bay Area is known for. A nd for these reasons and more, Laney is the place to be……..to Dream. Flourish. Succeed! I look forward to seeing you on campus, and am personally grateful that you have made the decision to join the Laney College Eagle family! In community, Tammeil Y. Gilkerson, Ed.D.
