Dear Gavilan Community,
Please join us in congratulating the newly tenured faculty members who were announced at the Board of Trustees meeting last night:

Tenure is a meaningful milestone in a faculty member’s academic career. It reflects years of dedication, professional growth, service to the college, and a deep commitment to students and teaching.
We are grateful for the care, expertise, and heart Veronica, Nick, Frank, and Rachel bring to Gavilan College. Each of them contributes meaningful ways to our students’ learning experiences, our programs, and our campus community.
