Thank you to all who attended our December Distinguished Leaders Lunch Session Fireside Chat with Michael Matthews, Public Policy Director with META (formerly known as Facebook).

The Foundation is proud to announce that this past November 2021, members of the Kapor Center’s Kapor Good Neighbor Committee established the “Kapor Scholarship” aimed to provide financial assistance to unhoused and/or undocumented students currently enrolled at one of the Peralta Colleges.

On Monday, December 6, 2021, the Peralta Colleges Foundation revived its annual golf tournament and this year titled the tournament after Peralta’s long serving retired board trustee Dr. William “Bill” Riley.

Two College of Alameda Automotive Technology (Atech) students, Yumeus (Missy) Taylor and Jorge Sandoval, were awarded Ozzie Day Scholarships this spring. 

One student from each college will be awarded the President’s Medallion, receive a $1000 scholarship and entry to the Chancellor’s Trophy Award. Candidates maintained a record of active participation and leadership in extra-curricular activities during their college attendance. Employment during this period is given proper consideration.

The Book Club of California believes the best way to champion book and to celebrate it as a cultural treasure is to share all that they do. As they expand the bibliophilic community by preserving and promoting the history of the book and the book arts, they want to bring new and diverse voices into the conversations we have about design, printing, collecting, history, and more.
