Regional Collaboration with Educators
Agriculture, Water, and Environmental Technology Initiative
Our initiative is involved in regional collaboration with a host of post-secondary faculty to engage business and industry in developing targeted curriculum for the Agriculture, Water, and Environmental Technology sector.
The California Post-Secondary Agriculture Articulation Collaborative (CPAAC) is comprised of instructors and administrators from community college and CSU campuses across the state. The inclusion of University faculty in the collaborative ensures articulation for the discipline and seamless transition into the CSU system. Successes to date include the development and implementation of three Agriculture Associate Degrees for transfer through the State Academic Senate system.
Interested in working with the CPAAC on statewide curriculum? Contact Nancy Gutierrez to find a suitable committee group.
