All of us in Region VI are excited that our own Lynn Fauth of Oxnard College won the Nina Theiss Award this year. His numerous contributions to the council -- as a regional representative, treasurer, president, and past-president -- were highlighted at the reception by Sterling Warner, who presented the award. Lynn graciously took the stage to offer a modest acceptance speech, and he was visibly moved by the crowd's obvious appreciation of his work.

Instructors from Region VI participated actively in the recent conference; we served as moderators, panelists, and presenters. While many of us left the conference refreshed and eager to share new ideas with colleagues at our respective colleges, our colleges, it appears, are still not terribly eager to help ECCTYC. Sadly, many of the colleges in our district have failed to pay their ECCTYC dues, and we are taking steps to rectify this oversight.

It's great to learn that Bakersfield College and California State University at Bakersfield are engaged in an ongoing dialogue to make transitions smoother for transfer students. In Region VI, Moorpark College and Oxnard College are trying to make transitions smoother for incoming high school students. Moorpark College has established the High School at Moorpark College, a program that encourages motivated high school students to pursue a college education while still in high school. And English instructors from Oxnard College recently met with local high school English teachers to discuss how to improve student performance at the college level.
