Quick Notes for the Week of Feb. 21
Spotlight
New Course Registration Interface
De Anza and Foothill colleges have upgraded their course registration system with a new interface that should make it easier to sign up for classes. You can still use the old "classic" system to register for spring quarter,
but you have the option to try the new system.
You can find a complete user guide for the new system at deanza.edu/reg-guide or get in-person assistance by visiting RSS 146. (Check the user guide for dates and times.) Watch for a helpful video, coming soon!
Students Chosen for Health Pathways Program
Six students from De Anza have been selected to participate in a new Pathways in Health Technology program, designed to introduce students from diverse backgrounds to career opportunities
in the health tech field through mentoring and hands-on group projects.
The six students are Jacqueline Fernandez Ortega, Donnel Gray, Emma Sawaya, Silmi Sultaan Ali Khowaja Pulido, Arlyne Torres and Sophia Weissinger.
The eight-week program was created by the nonprofit Diversity by Doing (DxD) HealthTech in partnership with the Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign, Fogarty Innovation and five local medical device companies. Students who complete the program will receive a $1,000 grant funded by the Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) in collaboration with MedTech Color.
