Rio Hondo College earned the highest honor for its alternative fuels program in alignment with this year’s award theme of “Environmental Responsibility.”
Riverside City College, Santa Barbara City College and Sierra College received honorable mentions.
“These colleges are successfully training students to combat climate change and sustainably address food insecurity on campus,” said California Community Colleges Board of Governors President Tom Epstein. “The collaborations among faculty and students to achieve these important goals serve as models for other community colleges throughout the state.”
Rio Hondo College received the Exemplary Program Award for its alternative fuels program, which includes hybrid, fuel cell, compressed natural gas, liquid natural gas, liquid petroleum gas and electric vehicle technologies.
Rio Hondo College's alternative fuels program involved extensive work with community colleges and universities across the nation on safety standards to improve technician safety.
The program prepares students and incumbent workers to become alternative fuels specialists at transit agencies, government maintenance facilities, heavy equipment dealerships or independent repair facilities.
Honorable mentions are:
Riverside City College for its urban farm. The farm brought together members of the college, the community, K-12 feeder schools and partner universities, particularly the University of California, Riverside, to help develop the Farm and highlight the potential of its approach to community agriculture. The farm is also a place of refuge for many students and a source of food for a number who are food insecure.
Santa Barbara City College for its permaculture garden, which has changed the college’s public face by transforming manicured lawns into large portions of grounds covered with sustainable plants that help solve the food insecurity among students. The food produced in the garden goes directly to the college food pantry.
Sierra College for its environmental studies and sustainability program. The program provides students with the opportunity to meet the requirements to transfer to four-year colleges in the environmental fields including environmental studies and environmental science.
The annual Exemplary Program Awards, sponsored by the Foundation for California Community Colleges, launched in 1991 to recognize outstanding California community college campus programs. Award nominees demonstrate overall program success; faculty engagement; demonstrate a response to the needs of students, faculty and the college; collaboration among other programs on campus or within the community; support the community college mission; and serve as models for other community colleges.
The California Community Colleges is the largest system of higher education in the nation, composed of 73 districts and 115 colleges serving 2.1 million students per year.

“Weber brings a wealth of experience, talent and expertise in workforce development and undoubtedly will be influential in our continued pursuit of achieving the goals outlined in the Vision for Success,” said Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley. “I am happy to welcome her to our Chancellor’s Office team.”
Weber will oversee the Chancellor’s Office Strong Workforce initiative, a career technical education program designed to boost social mobility and provide regional economies with skilled workers. Weber will guide the initiative started by Executive Vice Chancellor Van Ton-Quinlivan, who is resigning effective Feb. 1.
"We are pleased that Weber will become the new vice chancellor for Workforce and Economic Development,” said Jim Mayer, president and CEO of California Forward. “We've worked with Weber through the California Economic Summit and find her to be a bright, forward looking leader who will help refine and expand programs designed to better prepare workers for the demands of our fast changing California economy."
“Weber is supremely visionary and a thoughtful team-player who has repeatedly elevated conversations about workforce and economic development across the country,” said Jen Worth, senior vice president of Workforce and Economic Development with the American Association of Community Colleges. “From rural entrepreneurship to industry-driven solutions in multi-stakeholder groups, she has demonstrated that she continuously strives for streamlined and relevant solutions.”
During Weber’s tenure with the Long Beach Community College District, she was responsible for the district’s economic and workforce development programs, strategy, operations and building public-private partnerships.
She launched the Innovation Fund SoCal in partnership with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the college's first Entrepreneur-in-Residence program and the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program funded by the Goldman Sachs Foundation, among others.
Prior to Long Beach Community College District, Weber worked at California State University, Long Beach where she developed a unique training consortium of aerospace companies, known as Software Engineering Forum for Training, which provided tailored training for process improvement and management practices for software engineers.
Weber earned a master’s degree in telecommunication and film from San Diego State University and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Pacific Union College.
