So how do you celebrate 15 years? I made my Mom’s stuffed peppers, a dish I’ve never made before and haven’t had since before I moved here from the East Coast. I know that the work I’m doing matters all the time, but when times are tough, it’s crucial. For example, the CCE continues to support the racial reckoning and BLM actions, etc. Unlike many of my counterparts, I have been consistently encouraged to engage our students with work that is not only charitable in nature but also focused on social and racial justice. I found myself more committed than ever during the Tubbs fire and then recommitted again when the pandemic caused such loss of life, trauma, and disruption. As we learn more and as change is constant, being flexible, creative, and resilient is crucial. Perhaps what I most value is that I have been given space to try things, make mistakes, and grow. Grand Opening of the CCE on October 31st, 2007įifteen years is a long time, and of course, there have been challenges. I remain grateful and humbled that the search committee members took a chance on me to do a community engagement job in communities I knew nothing at all about. Departments and programs across the university have always been supportive and open to partnering. The dedicated CCE volunteers, interns, student assistants, VISTAs, staff, and Faculty Fellows make our work of “building beloved community” a joy. I have been fortunate to work with collaborative folks, not only in the community but on campus as well.

The work of community engagement is all about relationships. He did not know that it was my 15-year anniversary, and that made his thoughtfulness even more appreciated. Just today, a faculty member who started soon after me dropped by the office to reunite after 2 years of pandemic. I count many faculty and community folks as friends. Faculty here have always treated me as a respected colleague and have risen to the challenges we face again and again. Without their guidance, I certainly would have gotten lost long ago. Our community partners have contributed to the learning of our students and led me on the right path. I am exceptionally privileged to work with such fantastic community partners and faculty. Yes, the hills are beautiful, the weather amazing, and the burritos are perfect, but, of course, it’s the people that keep me here. But I fell in love with SSU and our community and time and time again, I watched positions open up and didn’t apply. I thought I’d be here for two or three years and then move to a campus in San Francisco or the East Bay. Fifteen years ago, I moved cross country and began working at Sonoma State.
