Comment on Being part of Bakersfield College by Emmanuel (Manny) Mourtzanos

Kate,
You pose a thoughtful question that should be asked frequently at every level of the institution. In your reply, and in Tom’s reply above, I hear themes such as ‘involvement’ and ‘investment’, both of which are critical to our vibrancy as a community. To those I would add ‘ownership’. In the day-to-day routine of our work, it is easy to forget the interdependent relationship we share; we are a part of BC, and we are a part of BC…wherever we go and whatever we do. The health and welfare of any community is directly related to the ability and willingness of its members to care for each other. I appreciate how BC already does this, and I encourage more of it. In the words of our former colleague Bill Cordero, “We must leave the campground better than we found it.”

Kate, I love your letter. Sonya, I appreciate you sharing this and instigating a discussion in the wider community of the college. Our institution and our students will clearly benefit from greater and more committed involvement of our faculty. Teaching is our core function, perhaps, but it is by no means the only function we are to serve, and it is certainly not the only one for which we are compensated.

Being a part of Bakersfield College means being an involved citizen in a community that is crucial to all those who call it home.

This was a wonderful opportunity for our students. Special congratulations to Maria and Ryan who will be sharing their expertise, passion and ‘personality’ with future engineers.
