Join PBS KVIE for an online preview screening of a new episode of Inside California Education: Community Colleges, followed by a panel discussion. This special episode airing July 15 at 7:30PM on PBS KVIE explores what our state’s community colleges are doing to help their communities and keep students learning during the ongoing pandemic.
Meet nursing students in Stockton who managed to finish their education while lending a hand at local hospitals, and see how two Bay Area community colleges used their maker spaces to create thousands of pieces of personal protective equipment for hospitals and first responders. Meet Sacramento students who turned to their community colleges for emergency cash and laptops as classes went online and many employers laid off workers. Discover how an acclaimed Los Angeles culinary arts program kept its students learning – and cooking – with online classes and drive-through food distribution. Plus, hear from top community college leaders about what’s ahead and why they’re expecting a surge in enrollment this fall.
Broadcasting from California’s capital since 1959, PBS KVIE inspires viewers to explore the world and connect with their community through engaging experiences in current events, drama, history, nature, science, and more. For the 17th consecutive year, PBS is the most trusted institution in America (based on a nationwide survey). As a PBS member station, KVIE airs national shows like NOVA, PBS NewsHour, and MASTERPIECE and creates many local programs like Rob on the Road, Studio Sacramento, Inside California Education, Sunday Stories, and ViewFinder.
