Nate's Monthly Minutes: October 1, 2025
Earlier in September, I recorded Nate’s Monthly Minutes. Nate’s Monthly Minutes are designed to offer my observations about what's happening on campus. This month, I have reflected on my first 90 days as Skyline College’s president. The message is delivered in 5 short videos. You can pick and choose the videos that are most important to you, or watch them sequentially. Each video links to the next.
I look forward to seeing you on campus or during my office hours. Thank you for your support and pursuit of access, elevation, and getting our students prepared for high-priority jobs.
