Thoughts as We Transition
to Our New Location
Greetings friends, students, and alumni,
Starting out as assistant professor and coordinator of student services at the Los Angeles campus of Springfield College in August 2001, I was excited. As new to the campus as the paint on the walls of our new suite, I was eager to learn and eager to teach. My expectation was that I would be doing more teaching than learning. Was I ever wrong!
Through that first term of classes as I encountered Francisco and Cynthia’s unique insights, Victoria and Oscar’s incredible life experiences, and Barbara and Lottie’s commitment to social justice, I soon learned that I would be doing just as much learning as teaching. I could not be more proud of the accomplishments of our graduates, including people like:
Beulah Giddings, who used her undergraduate project as a catalyst for forming the One Caring Adult Foundation, a multi-cultural and charitable organization dedicated to supporting leaders of our community youth organizations.
Miguel Trujilla, who used his experience at Springfield College as a foundation to establish Funds for Students, an organization that helps students raise funds for their college or trade school education.
Carlon Manuel, who took the knowledge acquired through both the undergraduate and graduate programs, combined it with his passion for youth, and went on to work in the Gang Reduction Youth Development program at the Los Angeles mayor’s office.
