For City College student Michael Cash, International Relations major, the “smart” classrooms built under Propositions S & N have opened a digital window on the world. “In the older buildings and classrooms, you had to study language exclusively by book and the only accent you heard was your instructor’s,” says Cash.  “With our smart classrooms, we can connect with people from around the global, watch videos, stream lectures – all while actually hearing different accents and learning about different languages and cultures as if we were right there.  It’s the kind of technology edge that provides a competitive education.”

For Mesa College student Cherie Deogracias, a Political Science major, the transformation of District facilities is also transforming the teaching and learning experience.

“We are literally building a path for success for future generations of SDCCD students by giving them and the faculty and staff who serve our students’ needs state-of-the-art facilities that provide for an enhanced curriculum and better training to prepare us for joining the workforce.”

Deogracias credits San Diego voters for making the campus renovations a reality.  “This was all made possible by the voters! These new facilities are unrivaled and will help students receive a much more enriched education.”
