We would like to acknowledge that Cañada College sits on the traditional land of the Ramaytush (Rah-my-toosh) Ohlone (Oh-LOW-nee) peoples, and to pay respects to past elders and honor the present community. Long before Cañada College existed, this area was home to the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples who still have a presence in the bay today. Let us not forget the colonization of this land. Let us honor the people who have stewarded this land for generations, and let us honor the truth.

My last official Student Senate meeting as Senate advisor after over 10 years! It's so emotional and I am so grateful to students. Being in this role for almost a third of my life has been transformational because of student leaders. I know this board is going to do incredible things. Thank you for everything!

Spoke about the Chancellor's notes regarding housing and potentially using a third-party company. Temporary suspension of minimum class size. Class size will remain 10 students. Chancellor wants to be fiscally responsible for the student representation scholarships. We received a grant from the state to make housing on campus. The project is aimed to be $475-$920 per month. 310 student beds. Plans to make three changes: more interconnectivity between the three colleges through transportation (intercollege shuttle), libraries open until 9 pm for students that have evening classes, and creating a pride center at each college.

Ignacio moves to add 10 minutes. Vijeet seconded. Motion carries unanimously by those present.
