SFCC Pilates, No. 1 in Best of Santa Fe

The Santa Fe Reporter cited SFCC as having the #1 Best Pilates Studio in the 2021 Best of Santa Fe issue on July 28.

From the issue:
Best Pilates Studio
1. Santa Fe Community College: Leslie Jackson

Pilates itself was created in the early 1900s, and practitioner/instructor types like the Santa Fe Community College’s Leslie Jackson keep the dream alive. It’s a popular form of exercise, and one that comes with myriad (and noticeable) benefits within a few short weeks. Jackson teaches everyone from beginners to the advanced, and it’s all but certain there’s a tier that’s just right for you.

Congratulations!

Dean Wysong added, “Our community partners were big part of this too, for which we are grateful and appreciative: Hutton Broadcasting and Richard Eeds, Estevan Gonzales at KSWV Suave Radio, The Santa Fe Film Office, IATSE Local 480, The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Santa Fe, IAIA, and the Stage Coach Foundation.”

Danika Padilla of SFCC Foundation featured as 2021 Woman of Influence

Danika Padilla for Meow Wolf

Albuquerque Business First featured Danika Padilla of Meow Wolf and SFCC Foundation as a Woman of Influence in it’s July 28 issue.

Here is the story:
By Megan Martin – Data Reporter, Albuquerque Business First

As the senior director of social impact for Meow Wolf, Danika Padilla works to inspire creativity in all. She leads the interactive art company’s efforts around social and environmental responsibility at their locations in New Mexico, Nevada and Colorado.
Padilla is responsible for creating Meow Wolf’s first corporate social responsibility program, and puts her words into action both inside and outside of the office. She currently serves on the board of directors for the Santa Fe Community College Foundation and Emerge New Mexico.
Why do you believe you are a Woman of Influence? To be a woman of influence, we must constantly show up to engage and inspire others. I do this everyday through my work with Meow Wolf, my involvement with the local community and by using my voice to constantly speak up for historically marginalized people.
What needs to happen for more American women to reach the top levels of leadership in business? Women in America need systems to support them. Business in the U.S. was made for men, and to fully embrace women in top levels of leadership we need to address a number of issues. First, women must have pay equity and be paid appropriately for their contributions and work. … We must also implement family friendly business practices that better support the work-life balance. This includes paid family leave, available and affordable childcare, reproductive health care and numerous policies that create an environment where women can succeed. I am also a huge proponent of women uplifting other women. For too long the stereotype has been that there isn’t room at the top, now we must do the work to make the table bigger for all of our voices. We must mentor women throughout their careers to inspire and support them.
In what ways, beyond your job description, do you give back to the community? Working with and for our community is in my DNA. From a young age, I’ve been a community organizer working to register people to vote, canvassing for environmental protections and volunteering with numerous nonprofit organizations.

Yash Morimoto column: Help those you love go to college

Yash Moriomoto’s My View column: “Help those you love go to college,” originally ran in the Santa Fe New Mexican on July 18. It was written by Yash Morimoto, Associate Vice President for Planning and Institutional Effectiveness

My grandmother offered me this advice almost 25 years ago when I was about to graduate from high school: “The only thing you can procrastinate is smoking cigarettes.” Her dream was that I go to college. At the time, my family was on food stamps and relied on what little income I brought in from part-time jobs. My younger siblings were in elementary and high school, and I felt strong pressure to work to provide for our family.

My mother on the other hand would say, “Why go to college? You’re going to drop out anyway.” Part of me believed this. English wasn’t my first language. Working and going to school was burdensome. I wasn’t always the best student. Going to college felt not only scary but irresponsible, if not downright impossible. My grandma, however, was insistent I attend college. Her encouragement changed my life’s trajectory. In the spring, I completed my doctorate in higher education leadership.

My story isn’t unique. I frequently witness the incredible resilience and dedication of the students of Santa Fe Community College, where I work.

During my doctoral research, I interviewed 15 community college presidents around the country to find out how they ascended to their position. I learned it was most often their siblings, parents, grandparents, an uncle or an aunt who encouraged them to pursue the further education that set them up for later success. One of the presidents even told me he was tricked into going to college.

One thing I know now that I wish I knew back then: Going to a college like SFCC is the best path to a good-paying job.

Over a lifetime, attending a community college is a smarter investment than finding a low-paying job out of high school. It can also offer considerable savings over enrolling at an expensive college or university, moving away from home and drowning in debt.

Many of the instructors teaching at community colleges also moonlight at universities. The only difference is the tuition you pay. Community colleges often offer small class sizes and provide supportive staff members to help you with more than academic challenges. Many students face food insecurity, poverty and other obstacles that make obtaining a college degree a challenge without support. I am eternally grateful that my grandmother persuaded me to go to college.

I am deeply excited for two new developments expected to benefit SFCC students. First, the SFCC Governing Board recently changed the tuition structure to enable students to take six classes for the price of four. Research shows students who take more classes complete their education at substantially higher rates.

Second, there is additional money available for students. The New Mexico Lottery will pay 100 percent of tuition to recent high school graduates. New Mexico’s Opportunity Scholarship will help adult learners return to college. Also, various state, private and federal scholarship funds could cover books and living expenses.

After earning my bachelor’s degree, I returned to school part time to further my education while working. It took me 20 years because I was working and life circumstances derailed me at times. I wish I could have gone full time. This year, students in the region have the chance to get the funds to attend college full time and get a better-paying job sooner. My grandma did not get to see me complete my education, but her message to me will resonate for a lifetime: Don’t procrastinate. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are not “college material.” College is waiting for you.

Yash Morimoto is the associate vice president for planning and institutional effectiveness at Santa Fe Community College.

Santa Fe Literary Review now available at libraries

Complimentary copies of the SANTA FE LITERARY REVIEW are available at the Santa Fe Public Library branches, El Dorado library, the Santa Fe Higher Education Center, 1950 Siringo Road, and at the SFCC Library.

“This issue of the SFLR, themed ‘Tapestry: Diversity, Culture, and Common Ground,’ was a shot of hope for everyone who participated. As we scoured the news, watched our family members and loved ones fall ill, and struggled to maintain our own physical and mental health, we found deep solace in the tapestries of words and images delivered to us. Amidst grief, fear, and inertia, we used the editorial process to ground ourselves. Poring through submissions as they streamed in from around the world, we were reminded over and over that the human spirit is a tough and resilient thing, capable of creating and inventing even in times of darkness

In this year’s issue, we share stories, poems, essays, and images depicting the poles of loss and light that have so characterized these extraordinary pandemic times. A testament to the raw sense of wonder that exists within every creative soul, this issue lies rooted in the common ground upon which we all reside.” – SFLR Editors

This year’s issue features work by contributors from SFCC, Santa Fe, and around the country. The magazine also includes an exclusive interview with award-winning writer Kirstin Valdez Quade, author of The Five Wounds, her debut novel about a New Mexican family’s extraordinary year of love and sacrifice.

This year’s issue is available for viewing or download at https://www.sfcc.edu/santa-fe-literary-review/literary-review-issues/, and selected writings are available at https://www.sfcc.edu/literary-review-issue/2021/.

The SFCC Creative Writing Department, in tandem with the SFCC Library, will host a reading for contributors and the public at 5 p.m. October 21. Details of the event will be determined based on the current public health orders and with concern for the safety of participants. Whether it is on campus or online, the event is free for all.

For more information about the publication or the event, contact Kate McCahill, SFLR Faculty Advisor and Editor-in-Chief by email at sflr@sfcc.edu, or call 505-428-1903.
