PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES

BEYOND OUR GATES INITIATIVESSince becoming president on July 1, 2009, Pamela A. Eibeck has made community engagement one of her top priorities. She set out on a listening campaign to find the best ways Pacific can help address some of the most critical issues facing the Stockton community. She met with residents, business owners, local organizations, local government leaders and regional and national experts through “Beyond Our Gates… Into the Community.” This series of six interactive community forums held from January to May 2010 dealt with healthcare, education, the economy, diversity, energy and the environment, and arts and culture. After the forums, steering committees made recommendations for new ways Pacific can partner with community organizations to address each area. Over the summer, the recommendations were reviewed and consolidated.

On November 12 at 11 am in the DeRosa University Center, Eibeck will hold a presentation called “Celebrate Our Shared Future” to announce new initiatives that were inspired by the community feedback. It is free and open to the public. Stockton Mayor Ann Johnston will attend, as well as other local community leaders. A light lunch will be served afterwards.

The announcement will feature several new or enhanced programs the University will pursue together with community leadership. Eibeck will also unveil a new University impact report by the Business Forecasting Center at Eberhardt School of Business, detailing economic and other impacts of the University in Stockton, Sacramento and San Francisco. Finally, Eibeck will highlight some of the existing programs that serve the community and the faculty members and students who run those programs, such as health clinics, reading mentor programs, arts events, business services, environmental studies, and college access programs for underprivileged students.
