Support from Community Leaders

By Andrew Walzer

Candidate for Member, Board of Trustees; Santa Monica Community College District

This information is provided by the candidate
  • ** "Santa Monica College was truly blessed to have a talented and committed Board of Trustees to expertly navigate the impossible turmoil of the Great Recession these past six years. Thankfully, SMC has come out of the recession stronger than ever! Trustees Nancy Greenstein, Louise Jaffe, Andrew Walzer, and Barry Snell deserve our appreciation and gratitude. They also deserve to be re-elected this November."

    - Denny Zane, former Mayor, City of Santa Monica

  • ** "The current Board has served the College and the community wisely and well and deserves our full support. They are the envy of colleges statewide -- an intelligent, compassionate, progressive Board, who have, among other things, implemented real steps towards pay equity for contingent faculty. I've seen in it my paycheck, and I appreciate it. That's action, not just talk."

- Prof. Martin Goldstein, Communications and Media Studies
FACCC* Part-Time Teacher of the Year, FACCC Governor for Part-Time
  • Faculty Association for California Community Colleges

"...SMC has been able to not just withstand, but thrive, during the worst economic crisis in modern memory. The Great Recession did not sink the ship. On the contrary, Santa Monica College with its team of committed progressive leaders has come through the Great Recession and a public-funding storm stronger."

- Prof. Richard Tahvildaran-Jesswein, Co-Chair Santa Monicans for Renters Rights

  • **

"The residents of Santa Monica and Malibu are understandably proud of SMC because it is one of the finest colleges in the state and nation. The present SMC Board of Trustees has done much to build and maintain SMC's success. Its present makeup should be maintained to guarantee the continued creative and stimulating academic environment that has made SMC the jewel in the crown of California Community Colleges."

- Judge David Finkel (ret.), former Santa Monica College Trustee
