Quick Notes for the Week of Jan. 23
Highlights
Silicon Valley Reads Kickoff Is This Thursday
De Anza will host the Jan. 26 kickoff for the 2023 Silicon Valley Reads campaign, with an on-campus event featuring three authors whose work aligns with the theme of “Journey to New Beginnings.”
The 7 p.m. event will be held at the Visual and Performing Arts Center (VPAC). It will also be livestreamed for those who can't attend in person. Admission is free and advance registration is required for both.
Those attending in person can also view a related exhibition in the Euphrat Museum of Art, which will be open from 6-7 p.m. and after the program until 9 p.m. The exhibit features art and poetry by five local artists who have been instrumental in creating "spaces of belonging" and inspiring new beginnings.
Event Center Survey: Please Provide Input
The Foothill-De Anza Community College District has engaged a consultant to conduct a market analysis for the new Event Center planned on the site of the former Flint Center. Your input will help in planning the most useful event space possible.
Please take a few moments to complete the short survey prepared by the consultant, AMS Planning and Research. You’ll find the survey and more information, including a separate survey for event organizers and producers, on the project webpage at deanza.edu/measure-g/event-center.
Job Search Workshop This Wednesday
If you’re hoping to enter the workforce, change jobs or switch to a new career field, you can get valuable tips and insights by attending a webinar this Wednesday, Jan. 25, from 2-3:30 p.m., hosted by Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian.
Speakers will include Randy Bryant, dean of Career Technical Education and Workforce Education at De Anza; Lisa Gonzales, career adviser at NOVAworks; and Carolyn Wells, talent acquisition specialist at Sciton. Please register in advance to attend.
