Message from President Cooks Honoring Black History Month 2024
Welcome to Spring Semester
I am thrilled to kick off 2025 with so much excitement on campus. The last couple of weeks have been bustling with activity-parking lots are full and the campus from the Gladiator Resource Hub to the Library and Learning Connection to Building 700 is alive with energy. It's clear that our campus continues to be a vibrant place of learning and connection. It's wonderful to see so many of you back on campus, and I can't wait to continue building on the great things we are doing together this semester.
 
Black History Month
As we dive into the month of February, we have some important celebrations ahead. First, Black History Month (BHM) where Chabot College's theme this year is African Americans in Labor - a powerful reflection on the contributions of Black workers throughout history. To celebrate BHM, there are a number of exciting events planned across our campus, and I want to give a big thank you to everyone who's worked to make this possible. We'll be kicking off Black History Month with our Opening Ceremony on Monday, February 3, from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Event Center (Bldg. 700S). Please join us in celebrating by going to the Opening Ceremony and the upcoming events throughout the month, see the Black History Month Calendar of Events, and by using the BHM Zoom background.

President's Welcome


Welcome to Chabot College! For over 60 years, Chabot has helped students meet their academic, social, and employment dreams, goals and aspirations. 

I am honored to start my presidency as Chabot’s 10th College President. I am humbled to lead our prestigious institution and excited about the tremendous potential in our programs and services as we aspire to be the best community college in the state. 

Chabot College will start this academic year with a number of established and exciting new programs and resources such as our outstanding HSI STEM grant that promotes a STEM Summer Bridge program, offers embedded tutoring, work-based learning, and comprehensive student services, and encourages completion/transfer to STEM majors at 4-year universities. We are also developing a basic needs student success center, referred to as THE HUB, which will house our food pantry, student direct aid, community resources, CAL Fresh Food assistance, and school supplies. Moreover, our academic offerings have expanded by increasing the number of online classes, non-credit, and dual enrollment offerings.  

We are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and social justice as we provide an encouraging, inspiring, safe, and nurturing learning environment. Chabot College is intentional in our culture of care for keeping students first.  Our Classified Professionals, Faculty, and Administrators are all here to serve you and your educational journey.  We look forward to our time together and opening up your possibilities for a fantastic college experience!
