between the Athletic Department and the Public Information
Office to promote Athletic Programs. The Sports Information
intern will serve as an internal agent to create publicity
as well as develop a website, Booster Club, sports programs,
and brochures to assist coaches in their function to matriculate

Permanent Collection of Skyline Student Artwork
Start-up financial support to create a collection of student
artwork for installation of the works in sites around campus.
The artwork would be pre-selected through the jurying/curatorial
process that occurs during the annual student exhibitions
in the Gallery Theatre.
Learning Communities: Learning communities
are powerful ways to deliver instruction that have been shown
to significantly raise student success by helping students
integrate their knowledge, making success in one cluster of
classes more likely to lead to success in others.
Offer one learning community cluster each semester of academic
year 2002/03 that pairs a history and an English class.
Instructors will learn new pedagogical techniques and collaboratively
produce new class materials to support each learning community.
Combining History 101 Honors and English 100 Honors into
teaching a Learning Community entitled “Struggle and
Affirmation.” “The Legacy Project”
will be brought to Skyline College and features the work of
portrait photographer Evvy Eisen, who has photographed Holocaust
survivors and collected narratives of their personal struggles.
Provide seed funding to develop funding sources for the new
design of the ASTEP Learning Community. This learning
community is designed as a five-semester program with the
unifying theme of the African American Experience in the 21st
Century, so that students and faculty may build connections
between subject matter, disciplines, and ideas.
The Puente Project is a partnership between the University
of California and the California Community Colleges that focuses
on preparing Latino students who are educationally underserved
for transfer. This successful learning community at
Skyline suffers from the lack of adequate funding.
Seed funding to offer a unique set of experiences to students
as they study marine mammals, the topic of the Fall 2002 biology
colloquium. The activities of the biology colloquium
will also be attended by MESA (Math, Engineering, Science
Achievement) students.
