Chabot College: The First Twenty Years

In 1981, Chabot College published Dr. Ted Staniford's book, Chabot College: The First Twenty Years, which chronicled the college’s beginnings and its development over our first two decades.  With permission from the College, CARE is pleased to make this work available:

The Next Thirty Years

As a follow-on to Staniford's book, CARE is leading an open-ended project to write an informal history of the last 30 years at Chabot, Las Positas and the District.  Our new effort takes a different and collaborative approach. We invite all CARE members members to write a piece of any length and any style about any memory they have of the years between 1981, when Staniford’s history ended, and the present.
