Message from the President I want to personally welcome you to the Spring 2009 semester at College of San Mateo, one of the most highly-respected community colleges in the State. You’ll find an exciting semester ahead. As a student at CSM, you will be joining a long tradi- tion of excellence. Since 1922, CSM has served many generations from San Mateo County and the wider San Francisco Bay Area, helping students build their futures. Whether a first-time college student, a continuing student, or one who is returning to college after several years, you have a place at CSM. I am proud of our distinguished and dedicated faculty, some of whom are featured in the first section of our spring Schedule of Classes. These brief bios will give you a sense of the education, accom- plishments and interests of our faculty. To put faces with our other outstanding faculty members, please visit collegeofsanmateo.edu/faculty. Thanks to the voters of San Mateo County we have been able to make a number of sig- nificant capital improvements to the college. CSM’s award-winning Science Building and Planetarium and the Regional Public Safety Center are examples of recently completed construction projects. You will also notice that construction is underway on a new Allied Health and Wellness Center, including an aquatic facility, and we will soon break ground for the construction of the new Student Center. These projects will be completed in 2010 and College of San Mateo 2011, respectively. 1700 West Hillsdale Boulevard During the construction phase, we are committed to making the student experience as San Mateo, CA 94402-3784 positive as possible. We have created a special section on our web site designed to provide (650) 574-6161 collegeofsanmateo.edu regularly updated information about construction: collegeofsanmateo.edu/construction. We have also improved signage throughout campus and added services to help students navigate the campus, especially during the first weeks of the semester.

We have created a new CSM homepage: collegeofsanmateo.edu. Also, we are in the Richard Holober, President process of launching an e-mail service for all students called my.smccd.edu. This service Karen Schwarz, Vice President-Clerk will allow students to communicate with instructors and classmates.
