With the intention of supporting students during the pandemic, the Las Positas College Foundation is aiming to raise nearly $21,000 for its COVID-19 Giving Initiative, for the purpose of purchasing new technology while online learning continues.
After shifting to 100% remote learning earlier this year, officials said in a statement that “several areas of need were identified impacting LPC students ability to remain enrolled, engaged, and working toward their academic and career goals.”
“While the college continues to manage the critical dollars received from the state of California, there are additional areas of need not covered by state resources impacting the students,” officials said.
Donations received will be used to support the areas with the greatest needs for students, including $11,000 to create a mobile video studio for distance education and supply it with software, cameras and computer equipment; $5,000 for website development and other costs associated with making the student publication “Naked Magazine” fully accessible online; $4,500 for headphones and microphones; and $2,000 for sewing machines for the Theater Department.
