LAVC welcomes Jeanne Owens as the college's new professional development coordinator, and Dr. Sally Raskoff is the new faculty professional development coordinator. The pair has been working together to focus on enhancing professional development opportunities for both faculty and classified staff on campus.

LAVC kicked off new academic year with Opening Day activities for faculty and one for staff before the start of the semester. Looking ahead, faculty and staff should RSVP online for the Implicit Bias Workshop on September 14, and there will be a visit from the PRT on September 28 to help us identify our professional development needs.

Is your contact information correct in the LAVC Directory for faculty, staff, departments and services? Let students, faculty, and staff find the best way to reach you at work by updating your contact information in our phone/email directory! If you find that your work contact information is inaccurate or missing, contact Theresa Ramirez in Staff Services.
