Greetings from the Office of Instruction,

Welcome to Cuesta College! I want to extend a warm welcome to you as you embark on your teaching career here at our college.

This is an exciting time for you, and I encourage you to take advantage of all that Cuesta College has to offer. Attend a governance meeting, a President’s Forum, engage in dialogue with faculty and staff, your dean, and familiarize yourself with the campus and various departments.

As a faculty member, you will have the opportunity to teach others and learn from them. You will be challenged to solve problems and explore new areas of pedagogy. The materials that follow have been put together to help guide you in your career at Cuesta.

On behalf of the Office of Instruction, once again, welcome to Cuesta College. I wish you every success in your career and hope to meet you personally in the near future.

Dr. Jason Curtis
Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Instruction
