presentations and the students who made them are:

Cornelia Spearing, ―Wiley Coyote Meets the Leprechaun

Ashley Good, ―Disease Detectives: Giardiasis Outbreak‖

Luis Bill, Max Kalinin and Leo Szeto, ―The

Wally-Hugger Robot: Creating a

Donna Bestock, and to Phyllis Taylor for her work with the

students in refining their presentations. Pictured in the

Leo Szeto with ―Hally,‖ the wall-hugging robot. By the

way, these three Skyline engineering students recently

secured prestigious summer internships as a result of their

hard work, support from Skyline professors and ―Hally.‖ Luis is a mechanical engineering student who

will intern at the NASA Robotics Academy in Alabama this summer. Leo is an electrical engineering

student who will intern at the Logistic Department at the University of Dortmund in Germany. Max is a

mechanical engineer who will intern with MIT in Alameda Co. They are not sure yet with whom Hally

will live this summer. All three plan to transfer to four-year universities in fall 2009.

Puente students visit UC Santa Cruz

The Puente class took a tour of UC Santa Cruz at the end of

April to familiarize themselves with the beautiful campus,

the many programs and the vast array of student clubs and

services available to them. The Puente students got a feel for

the energized, yet laid back campus life at UCSC,

which even provided them with a vast buffet lunch in

College Eight's dining commons, where they ate amongst

the UCSC students. They also had the opportunity to meet

with a former Skyline Puentista, Daniel Tostado, who talked

to students about his experiences and was even kind enough

to show us what their accommodations looked like by

giving the group a mini-tour of his apartment on campus.

FACILITIES

Improvements to parking lot lighting begin

Richard Inokuchi, Skyline Facilities Manager, notified staff of a great improvement on campus—

Student Lot 2 recently underwent a lighting fixture retrofit. The new lamp heads that were installed are

light emitting diodes (LEDs), which are expected to provide a better quality of light, consume less

energy and last longer than Skyline’s current lighting fixture lamps. Parking Lot 2 was selected as a

‘beta test’ for the new lighting as it is dark on that side of campus and so it was the best candidate for an

increased lighting initiative and improvement. The manufacturer is in the process of making fixtures

that can be used in all the remaining parking lots, along the entire Loop Road and both entranceways to

campus.

RESEARCH AND PLANNING

Skyline research posted on PRIE website

The Office of Planning, Research and Institutional Effectiveness has posted new research results on its

website. As part of Ray Hernandez’ Master’s Thesis research project entitled ―Skyline College:

Reducing Campus Environmental Smoke Exposure,‖ a survey was administered to both students and

employees and these results have been posted. Also, there is a study that Cathy Hasson did at Lori

Slicton’s request concerning the Women in Transition program. Both are at this address:
