During the board of trustees meeting Monday, President Thomas Fallo announced that the Puente Project will be back next fall.

“The most important thing is that it’s coming back,” Puente Project co-coordinator Margaret Quinones-Perez, said. “It’s good for the program to have a new team every three years because it gives them a chance to step out and learn new things.”

Griselda Castro, former Puente student, will be the new counselor for the program and will work with English instructors to recruit new staff in spring and be ready for the next three years.

In addition, Director of the Institutional Research and Planning Irene Graff gave a presentation about the new proposed college’s mission and strategic plan. The next meeting will be Dec. 15 in the Board Room in the Administration Building at 4 p.m.
