De Anza will host the Silicon Valley Reads kickoff on Wednesday, Jan. 31, at 7 p.m. Silicon Valley Reads is an annual community reading campaign that hosts a variety of events centered around a specific theme. This year’s theme – "A Greener Tomorrow Starts Today" – focuses on books and activities that highlight environmental sustainability.
The kickoff will take place in the VPAC and will feature four writers and activists whose work aligns with this year’s theme. Please register to attend in person or to watch the livestream through the Commonwealth Club of Silicon Valley. While the event begins at 7 p.m., a related art exhibit, “Sacred Terrain,” will be open for viewing in the Euphrat Museum from 6-7 p.m. and after the program until 9 p.m. Admission is free for both the kickoff and the museum.
Phase Two of Stevens Creek Corridor Vision Study
Want to have your say on the future of Stevens Creek Boulevard? The phase two survey of the Stevens Creek Corridor Vision Study is available now. The study is a multi-jurisdictional effort to create a vision for the future of this health, education, tech, shopping and housing corridor that extends through several cities of Silicon Valley.
As part of this effort, De Anza students and employees are invited to take the second online survey that will provide input on challenges and improvements for the corridor, including recommendations on how to direct transportation investment from San José, Santa Clara, Cupertino, the county and VTA. The survey is available in English, Spanish and traditional Chinese.
