Oxnard college faculty professional development project

The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education awarded a 3-year, $628,600 Project Grant under the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (CFDA 84.116) to the Ventura County Community College District's Oxnard College division. This grant, titled the "Oxnard College Faculty Professional Development Project", will support professional development initiatives for Oxnard College faculty. The funding will enable Oxnard College to provide training, resources, and opportunities to enhance faculty instruction and student learning outcomes, with a focus on improving access and success for Hispanic and low-income students. This grant builds upon Oxnard College's prior federal grant awards from the Department of Education, which have supported initiatives such as TRIO Student Support Services, STEM programs, childcare access, and emergency relief during the COVID-19 pandemic.
