Lina Germann takes SFCC Governing Board oath of office

Lina Germann, Ph.D., was sworn in as the newest elected member of the SFCC Governing Board on January 24. Dr. Germann was sworn in by the Judge Bruce Black, who served as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico from 1995 to 2017, during an online ceremony.
“Thank you so much – it’s a very, very precious moment for me,” said Germann. “Thanks to everyone here who helped me get to this moment.”

She was elected on November 7, 2023 to serve a six-year term on the Santa Fe Community College Governing Board in Board Position # 2.

Prior to her role on the Board, Germann has been a STEM educator, chemist and advocate for education for 26 years in Santa Fe.

Here are highlights from her biography:

Lina Germann, Ph.D., MBA
Since moving to Santa Fe in 1997, Germann has been an advocate for STEM Education and education in New Mexico.

She has been an active community member, spearheading large community events, leading after-school STEM programs, as well as serving on local boards and committees.
In 2016, Germann founded STEM Santa Fe, an award-winning New Mexico 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which advocates for, develops and provides STEM programming, mentoring and resources for all youth, especially under-represented groups in STEM.

During her seven years leading STEM Santa Fe as its CEO, STEM Santa Fe earned multiple awards including Non-Profit of the Year for NM Excellence in STEM by AFRL-NM in 2018 and Piñon Visionary Award by Santa Fe Community Foundation in 2022.
In addition, in 2023, she was honored among Women in Technology by New Mexico Technology Council—she received the STEM Equity and Inclusion award by NM Out-of-School Time Network, and in 2022 she was named Mentor of the Year for New Mexico Excellence in STEM by AFRL-NM.

Germann has a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Boston College and an MBA from University of New Mexico. She is passionate about education as a path to achieve prosperity.

SFCC looks forward to working with Dr. Lina Germann. The next Governing Board meeting is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 28 in the Board Room (Room 223). The January Board Meeting was cancelled due to a lack of a quorum.

Academic Referral Reminder

Please don’t forget about our early alert/academic referral process this spring semester. The academic referral form allows both faculty and academic advisors to support students in an intentional and comprehensive way – providing wrap around services to our students.

If you have a student who is struggling in the classroom, please let the advising team know via the academic referral form. The sooner the advisor learns of your concern through the form, which requires VPN access, the better as it increases their chance of successfully intervening and supporting faculty/students at a pivotal point in time.

The electronic form is located on my.SFCC.edu
Click on SFCC Connect (Intranet)
Select Academic Referral 2023-24, under Featured Links (Left Side of Page)

Referrals are routed instantaneously to an advisor. Advisors reach out to their advisee via phone/email. They check in, explain the reason for their outreach, and determine how to best help based upon their dialogue with the student in addition to the information submitted within the referral. Depending upon the situation, advisors educate/offer options, provide holistic care, strategize with a student, make referrals to others on campus resources, etc. Once the concern is addressed, the advisor updates the referral status and enters their notes in the system, which will update the faculty member on the outcome of the referral if they log back in to check the status. Faculty access this information by clicking into the referral response via the email confirmation of their submission (click show approval history and then show approval comments).

If you have any questions and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out via phone at 505-428-1275 or by email at advisor@sfcc.edu.

Shane Tolbert solo exhibition – Memory Dilemma at McClain Gallery in Houston
Jan. 13 – Feb. 24

McClain Gallery is happy to announce Shane Tolbert’s third solo exhibition: Memory Dilemma. The exhibition expounds on the artist’s process based work, including figurative drawings for the first time, alongside his painting and collage work. Playing off of Tolbert’s layering technique, the drawings reveal a cyclical return to imagery, thought process, and the way themes are honed through thoughtful play and automatic response.  Tolbert furthers his experimental practice and mines the studio as a place of potential: somewhere memory and experience, stored in his body and muscle, can translate onto canvas or paper and tell him something he didn’t know before. As Tolbert puts it: “[Memory and experience] accumulate in my emotional state each day I enter the studio and compound in the work over time like sedimentary layers of mudslides and volcanic ash.” Studio ephemera, like painter’s tape, often makes it into the finished work, as a reminder of the originating space.

Meet Mayra A. Gutierrez, First Born® and More Model Office Director

Statewide program is based at Early Childhood Center of Excellence at SFCC

Mayra A. Gutierrez is the new director of the state model office First Born® and More, based in the Early Childhood Center of Excellence (ECCOE) at the college.

First Born® and More is a home visiting program and curriculum that supports families with children ages prenatal to five. The program’s mission is to increase the health and wellness of women who are pregnant, families parenting children (ages 0-5) and families adopting their first baby. Housed at SFCC’s Early Childhood Center of Excellence, the program provides statewide training, curriculum, technical assistance, and licensing of First Born® Programs throughout New Mexico and nationally. Based on the belief that well-supported families are the foundation of healthy communities, First Born® focuses on strong relationships and health in the early years.

Director of the Early Childhood Center of Excellence Catron Allred said, “We are thrilled to welcome Mayra Gutierrez to the Early Childhood Center of Excellence (ECCOE) at Santa Fe Community College as the director of the state model office for First Born® and More. Mayra brings extensive experience in home visiting at the state level to her role as director that will continue to elevate First Born® and More as New Mexico’s premier universal home-visiting program for all families with children newborn to age 5.

Gutierrez brings a wealth of experience in early childhood education, as well as a strong community-based perspective after a decade of work with the Partnership for Community Action, along with state government experience with the Early Childhood Education and Care Department (ECECD).

“I am delighted to join SFCC and support the growth and development of the First Born® and More model, as well as the Institute for Innovative Family Programs,” Gutierrez said. As the mother of two boys – a two-and-a-half-year-old and seven-month-old, she understands the importance of her position.

Mayra A. Gutierrez bio:

Mayra A. Gutierrez was born and raised in the state of California. She was the first member of her family to graduate from high school and attend a four-year university. She isproud of her heritage, language and roots. Her family comes from the Southwest of Mexico from the state of Jalisco and city of Ocotlan. It is through the years she spent visiting her grandparents in Mexico that she learned the power that exists in living and working in community.

She graduated in 2011 from the University of New Mexico (UNM) with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a concentration in mathematics. She continued to expand her education by taking population health and education leadership courses at UNM and New Mexico Highland University. Education has been her inspiration and the vehicle of how she has been able to mentor, open pathways for others, and serve and give back to her community.

Gutierrez has worked in early childhood education since 2012. Has ten plus years of experience working in the non-profit sector and three and half years in state government. She has dedicated her professional career to working in hard-to-reach communities. Her professional experience ranges from non-profit administration, community organizing, family engagement, grant management, program, and leadership development.

Most recently, Gutierrez led the Family Support and Early Intervention Division, one of three divisions with the Early Childhood Education and Care Department (ECECD). As Division Director she was instrumental in increasing provider rates for home visiting and early intervention service providers in New Mexico. She brought new evidence-based home visitation models to support families with diverse needs and unique experiences. She also expanded the perinatal case management state program, Families FIRST to the Northeast region of the state and strengthened the relationships with New Mexico’s managed care organizations.

In her previous role with Partnership for Community Action, Gutierrez created the first childcare provider network in the South Valley community of Albuquerque, called Educadores para los Niños del Futuro “Educators for the Children of the Future Network.” Through this initiative she worked closely with community childcare providers to get them licensed, trained, and certified in early childhood development and health & safety. This required collaboration with various state and local planning and zoning departments with financial support from various foundations. She is proud to have created a sustainable model that is recognized statewide and highlighted nationally by the Build Initiative.

Ongoing construction on Beckner Road; right turns only

Yay! The roundabout at Richards Ave. and Dinosaur Trail is now open. Please note: Some construction on Rabbit Road and other parts of Dinosaur Trail continues. Also, The Santa Fe New Mexican ran a story on Dec. 31 stating that the City is allowing right hand turns only on Beckner Road.

Here’s the official notice from Santa Fe County:

The Santa Fe County Public Works Department is excited to announce an early opening of the newly constructed roundabout at Richards Avenue and Dinosaur Trail. Effective Friday, October 20, 2023, at 3:00 pm Richards Ave will be fully operational and open to traffic. This is the second of six roundabouts slated for the Northeast and Southeast Connectors Roads Project.

While we are satisfied to reopen Richards Avenue in advance of schedule, we want to inform our residents that the west connection to Dinosaur Trail will be established at a later date. In the interim, the existing signalized intersection located south of this roundabout will remain in full operation to ensure consistent traffic flow. Moreover, the east connection to Rabbit Road is currently under construction and will be opened at a later date.   

On September 11, 2023, the contractor commenced work on this roundabout with the strict timeline to complete and reopen Richards Ave within (60) calendar days.  Due to an aggressive schedule and optimum weather, this work was completed in (40) days. 

This is a great example of the commitment made by Santa Fe County to the community, to streamline any disruptions to traffic while we complete this important road project. Santa Fe County envisions the Northeast and Southeast Connectors Roads project as the most dynamic transportation conduit of the Community College District, strengthening connectivity and safety in this growing community.

For additional information regarding the project, please visit www.sfcconnectors.com or contact Johnny Baca, Project Manager 3, at jpbaca@santafecountynm.gov.

For any future road updates please sign up for Alert Santa Fe.

Re: Beckner Road. According to a Nov. 2 story in the Santa Fe New Mexican, Beckner Road will have ongoing construction for six to eight months. Read the story, “Beckner “Road to be closed for six to eight more months, city says” A story in the Dec. 30 issue of the Santa Fe New Mexican stated, “Santa Fe says Beckner Road is all right (turns) for now”

NE SE Connector Construction Zones
Santa Fe, NM- Santa Fe County Public Works announces the postponement of pavement and weather-sensitive construction for the Northeast and Southeast Connector Roads project beginning Friday, December 15, 2023. To date, approximately 90% of the earthwork and 85% of waterline and drainage culverts have been installed, with two of the six roundabouts open to traffic.

Santa Fe County Public Works will however continue to work during the winter months installing solar lighting, waterline, and drainage culverts on the Southeast Connector and Avenida Del Sur as weather permits. Public access within the work zones is strictly prohibited. Traffic control and barricades will be in place along the following construction zones:

Northeast Connector west of Richards Ave to existing Rabbit Road.
Southeast Connector south of Rabbit Road to Ave. Del Sur.
Del Sur east of Richards Ave to the Southeast Connector.

These work zones pose significant hazards to pedestrians and motorists if breached, emphasizing the need to strictly adhere to safety precautions. Santa Fe County prioritizes constituent safety, urging all pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists to respect road closures and take precautions when navigating work zones.

Construction is expected to resume by the end of March 2024 or weather-permitting conditions.
