CARE at Ohlone College
(Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education)
Greeting from the CARE Coordinator
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the CARE Program at Ohlone College. I believe in the saying that, “People don’t CARE how much you know until they know how much you CARE.” You will find that our program values honesty, integrity, laughter, and relationships. I hope to get to know each one of you on a personal level and provide you with the individual attention and assistance you need to be successful.
I realize that there are many other institutions of higher learning in the Bay Area that you could have chosen to attend, but I am exceedingly glad that you have selected Ohlone College as your education connection. I also understand that you have entrusted me with your goals and dreams, so I want you to know that I am committed and dedicated to student achievement and success.
Ohlone College is a wonderful place to learn. The staff members of EOPS, CARE, and CalWORKs programs are phenomenal individuals, who are ready and willing to help you in any way possible. Along with our staff, I take great pride in serving every student with dignity and respect.
Dream BIG because dreams really do come true!
Sincerely,
Sandy Bennett
EOPS/CARE Coordinator
