ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2016-2017 INTRODUCTION 2016-17 was an eventful year for Santa Monica College. This list of accomplishments is notable, but is not comprehensive—the college’s employees have achieved so much more in the year that has gone by. I hope you will take the time to read the annual report: it represents the indefatigable SMC spirit and the dedication of SMC’s faculty, classified employees, managers and administrators to student success. Here are 2016-17’s key highlights: . Santa Monica College submitted its self-evaluation report to the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) in August 2016, and the accreditation site visit took place in October 2016. The Superintendent/President in February 2017 was informed that the ACCJC had reaffirmed Santa Monica College’s accreditation for 18 months; a follow-up report is due in August 2018. It was heartening to note the long list of commendations—including praise for SMC’s online education plans; student transportation; campus safety; and more—in the visiting team’s final report. The college has already begun addressing the recommendations made for improvement. Santa Monica and Malibu voters passed Measure V, a $345 million bond for Santa Monica College—with 64 percent approval—in the November 2016 election. Measure V will make it possible to update aging facilities including the Math and ESL trailers, and two classroom buildings constructed in the 1950s, among others. It will also enable

Valley College, acting as a representative for our student athletes and supporting their success. Intercollegiate athletics remains a critical element of the historical CC success in California. The California Community College system and Athletic Programs have long been recognized as leaders in creating new opportunities for their citizens through athletic programs expressly designed by area community colleges. The majority of student athletes, participating at community colleges, transfer to a four– year college or university to continue their academic and athletic ambitions. As one of 104 community colleges we are committed to the constitution and bylaws of the CCCAA. We are proud of our students as they dedicate and commit to their academic and athletic endeavors. We encourage participation in athletics because sports are educational in the best sense of the word. They teach the participant and the observer new truths about testing oneself and others, including the enduring values of challenge and response, about team work, about discipline and perseverance.
