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抯 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抯 history ended, and the present.
