Cypress College End-Of-The-Year Report for 2008-2009 E 6 s 6 t 9 . 1 Introduction Cypress College Minds. t Motivated.is my pleasure to present Cypress College’s 2008-2009 End-of-the-Year Report. This Idocument details the many successes of our students, faculty and other employees. This past academic year was both challenging and gratifying — challenging because of the specter of looming severe budget cuts and gratifying because the years of planning, building and an- ticipating came to fruition as our Gateway Plaza area was completed and we entered our first school year with the one-stop Student Center in operation. raduation was the capstone, the crown jewel on the year. These ceremonies are al- Gways moments of great joy and pride. But this year took on extra significance as we gathered for the centuries old tradition of commencement held in our newest environment — and one that was created with the specific needs of our students in mind. The Gateway Plaza was packed, too, as the largest number of graduates participated in their graduation. Their families and friends and college employees brought life to this new area. Dr. Michael J. Kasler, hen we designed the Gateway, we thought of it as a “celebration plaza” — we had Cypress College Whopes for experiences such as graduations. But, what we had pictured then paled President in comparison to what actually transpired. The buildings and grounds are one thing; but, the students who use them are another. At commencement we celebrated their achievements in a location and manner unlike any other on campus. elebrations, of course, are just one measure of our success. Other yardsticks include Cenrollment, and that is another area where we achieved positive results. It is clear that the demand for our courses has never been stronger. number of challenges that had been identified for the last academic year were con- A verted to successes this year as well. That is not to say we are without areas that re- quire more attention and creative solutions. The challenge of helping our students never ends. hile we exit the year with the specter of budget cuts on a scale we’ve not experi- Wenced before, I am confident in the collegial teamwork here at Cypress College. I frequently refer to teamwork with our employees because we are much more powerful work- ing together than as individuals. I believe we are stronger than the sum of our parts and that our employees are the greatest resource available to help our students achieve. We have a great team here and I know we will succeed in the coming year no matter how steep a hill we must climb. Dr. Michael J. Kasler, President, am so proud of the work we do here at Cypress College. This is an outstanding cam- Cypress College I pus, with outstanding students, faculty and staff. We also appreciate the tremendous support from the eight communities we serve. I continue to be grateful to work in such an Dr. Ned Doffoney, Chancellor, enriching environment.

Prior to that, I spent almost 5 years teaching and living in Seoul, Korea, where I became interested in working with foreign or international students. My educational background is in biology and art history, but I enjoy working with international students here at Cypress, assisting them with their pursuit of higher education in the United States, and witnessing their successes in transferring to universities or obtaining their degrees here to enrich their professional careers back home. I enjoy hiking, travelling, baking and reading. Gina Marrocco, Administrative Assistant After graduating from Cypress High School, I attended Cypress College. I completed an Associate Degree in Business Administration. While attending Cypress College, I worked part-time in the Business Computer Lab. My Computer Information Systems Professor, Donna Woo, was responsible for the lab. I kept in contact with Professor Woo and my Academic Counselor, Don Tyrell after graduating. They had such an impact on my life! I was hired at Cypress College in 2001, for an Administrative Assistant position in the Center for Intercultural Understanding.
