In Part 1, we meet Rudy Corpuz, a born-and-raised San Franciscan who grew up in the South of Market. Rudy's parents came to the US from the Philippines before he was born.   His dad was in the army, which was his ticket to this country. And he brought his wife and some of Rudy's older siblings with him. They went first to Boston, then to Seattle, folllowed by San Pedro, California, and finally, to San Francisco.   The family's first landing spot in The City was Hunters-Point. The family then moved a little north to the South of Market. Rudy is the youngest of nine siblings.   His early days in SOMA took place in the 1970s and ‘80s. He recalls many other ethnicities and lots and lots of families living in SOMA back in those days, and says that he learned a lot from his neighborhood. He ran with a crew of kids that spent a lot of time on Market Street going to shops, arcades, and theaters.   He fondly recalls a South of Market community center called Canon Kip, where he'd go as a kid to play basketball, attend study halls, engage in other forms of recreation, and go on field trips. Rudy cites his time at Canon Kip as playing a role in his current work with United Playaz.   At this point in the recording, I asked Rudy to rattle off San Francisco schools he's attended. The list includes: Buena Vista and Patrick Henry elementary schools, Potrero Middle School, and Mission High School.   In addition to his native SOMA neighborhood, Rudy spent a lot of time in Potrero Hill, getting around mostly on Muni busses. This was the mid-'80s/early '90s, i.e., the crack era. Rudy shares that he both sold and used the drug. His usage got bad, to the point that he crashed. He points to the death of his dad in 1987 as a major contributor to his behavior. He didn't know what to do with the pain of losing his dad, and so he turned to drugs.   Rudy got busted in 1988 and was sent to adult jail. For the next several years, he was In and out of trouble (and jail). It took him a while, but eventually, he figured out that he was broken. Around this time, an adult at the Canon Kip community center offered to get Rudy into City College. He was still in a low period, but when he got to CCSF, he was blown away by the abundance of "pretty women" he saw there. He and I had a hearty laugh about that.   He got a part-time job convincing other teenagers to go to CCSF, and discovered that he liked helping people. In 1994, while waiting for a job assignment, he spotted a posting on a job board. "Gang Prevention Counselor (Filipino)." A light bulb when off. He got the job, which was based in Bernal Heights.   In his new gig, Rudy was tasked with finding Filipino gangs in Bernal/District 11. This brought him to Balboa High School, where h saw plenty of fights and sideshows. The school's principal told him that she needed his help.   After a big riot between Filipinos and Blacks on Oct. 8, 1994, Rudy got the kids who had been involved to sit down together at a table. And they were the ones who came up with their own solutions.   They called it United Playaz.   Check back next week for Part 2 and the history of the non-profit.   Photography by Jeff Hunt   We recorded this episode at the United Playaz Clubhouse in the South of Market in November 2023.

City College of San Francisco is one of the only remaining public colleges in the US where the tuition is free for locals. CCSF professor and AFT 2121 member Adele Failes-Carpenter talks about why City College presents a threat to the forces that want to completely privatize higher education, and ongoing battles over one of the remaining free spaces where people can still come together, in-person, across difference.

Rev. Fred Harrell kicks off a short series on stewardship called "Our Money Story". We all have a money story, whether we recognize it or not. Perhaps we are living from a story of fear or shame. Or a story that the church is dying and no longer relevant. Or a story that our actions won't have an impact. Or a story that we don't have enough. Where might God be speaking a new narrative into the limited ones we have told ourselves? This theme invites us to discover and tell our money stories in light of God's money story of liberation and justice. This series encourages us to transform our stewardship practices into more full expressions of who we are and what we believe.

Citing a list of financial concerns, the City College of San Francisco's Board of Trustees finalized 38 faculty layoffs during a virtual meeting this past Friday. Additionally, a dozen full-time faculty members that were expected to retire this school year will now not be replaced. The announcement of this massive wave of layoffs comes after years of financial turmoil and a string of budget crises at CCSF — including nearly losing its accreditation“ in 2015 over financial mismanagement. The school was  back on the state's list for “enhanced monitoring” as of a year and a half ago, and a report released in April  confirmed the college still faces a $33 million budget shortfall for the upcoming academic year. As a result, CCSF's board announced that it would cut 163 full-time faculty and at least 34 administrative positions this year. During a Friday afternoon board meeting, school employees learned that 38 faculty positions would be immediately cut — with some of those employees having worked for the City College for years, if not decades. Also, at least 150 part-time staff are expected not to be hired back to the college because of a California higher-education rule that requires part-timers not to take the place of laid-off full-time faculty.

City College’s Board of Trustees recently voted on a plan to reduce teacher pay instead of laying teachers off, a plan that members of the teachers union had also voted on and approved. But this is only a short-term fix to one of the college’s financial problems. Alan Wong, a member of the Board of Trustees and a legislative aide to Supervisor Gordon Mar, shares his take on the bigger picture.

In late February, the City College Board of Trustees voted to approve sending notices of potential layoffs that, if implemented, would be a 30% cut to salaried expenditures. CCSF says the existence of the college is at stake, and it’s facing a projected budget shortfall of $33 million. Eira Kien, a student, Vick Van Chung, the student trustee, and Mary Bravewoman, a faculty member, have been trying to prevent these cuts and talk about the impact they expect they would have on students and the broader community.

As the start of school inches ever closer we take a look at the adverse effects of the current crisis and online distance learning with two Child Development professionals from CCSF, Tracy Burt and Stephen Santos Rico. Their expertise supports mounting evidence that this new social tech experiment will have long term consequences on children's social-emotional and physical development.

One out of every two students who attend Community College drop out. Only 1 in 5 will get their degree in four years. Why? I’m Nikolas Harter, and in this three part series produced out of the KCSF studios at the City College of San Francisco, I interview students and administrators, and break down statistics to come to some surprising conclusions about our flawed system of higher education. If you don’t know what career you want to pursue, is going straight to college after high school really the best option? How is acquiring an education connected to success, happiness, and becoming an adult? These days, is our system of higher education even capable of raising the financial well-being of its students, or does it perpetuate society’s inequities? In Part 1, I approach this question of why 47% of students drop out of school by breaking down the data. Did you know “work responsibilities” is the number one reason students report for dropping out of school? It’s ironic, because “financial struggle” is the number one reason students go to college in the first place! We’ll meet a couple CCSF community members, and put some faces to the data. Music by Sam Vanderlist and Cory Foss

On this episode of KCSF News, S.M.A.C. (Students Making A Change) speaks with CCSF’s branch of the B.S.U. (Black Student Union) to talk about what community organizing means to them. They’ll share personal stories of how they became student activists and organizers, and drop some lines for those of you who’d like to get involved.

On this episode of KCSF News we sit down with Claudia Drdul, a reporter from the city college's newspaper, The Guardsman. Claudia just finished up a story about staff cuts that are happening ahead of the vote to continue free city this November. It’s a big story which touches on a lot of topics, including a recap of the accreditation crises, and an insight into the tug of war happening right now between CCSF administration and the teacher’s union over “the privatization of public education.” You can check out the original article @ theguardsman.com/

His organization provides foundational soft-skills training for a small fee (supported by corporation donations) and plans to launch soft-skill Masterclasses in 2019.They helped organize an event called Day of Shecurity, for women of diverse backgrounds to have one day of learning: tech/ hard skills, soft skills. They had opportunities for mentorship and guidance. Day of Shecurity was FREE to attendees! Links: Article: Stories, not resumes: Breaking educational and other barriers in cybersecurity Google Image Search for "cybersecurity" Associate of (ISC)² Adrian Kaylor's talk "Sales Engineering and getting into infosec" https://www.joesecurity.org/ Flaws2 City College of SF Cybersecurity Program CCSF Information Security (Cybersecurity) Analyst Apprenticeship Sam Bowne's Classes Article in IBM Watson's Expressive SSML used on the show Intro/Outro Music: Cascadia by Trash80 Full Text of Article: When you search for images under the key word “cybersecurity,” a familiar shot always turns up: a guy wearing a hoodie, operating in a dark room, fingers on a keyboard. I’d like to replace that image with…anything. To be a cybersecurity professional, you can be anything. And anyone. We’ve heard the statistics. There is currently a human capital crisis, with 1.5 million cybersecurity jobs available and no takers. The number is projected to balloon to 3.2 million by 2021. But who exactly are these cybersecurity professionals we are looking for? For so long, we have had our own definition of who can fit that talent. A good cybersecurity professional has to have a computer science degree. They must have solid professional background. They have to be male. This pattern of defining success has led us to the shortage we are experiencing today. It’s kind of like insanity, really: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. What really makes up a good professional? Every human being brings a different experience. You need critical thinking and creative thinking, both. A variety of educational, ethnic, geographical, backgrounds. For example, cybersecurity is not the obvious career path for someone with a biology degree; however, a biology major might help throw a new perspective on cybersecurity given that advancements of technology will eventually interface with the human body organically creating a scary threat landscape. Often too we talk about cybersecurity in the context of oil and gas, or transport, or finance. Cybersecurity today and going forward, is a horizontal across every industry, as opposed to just being by itself. Every industry needs cybersecurity professionals. People from other disciplines could provide their own perspectives and add value to how the job is done. For example, some of the best cybersecurity communicators otherwise known as “Social Engineers”, I know are drama majors, communication majors and liberal arts majors. Why are soft skills critical? The risks here are complex. If these risks are not articulated in a business language, such that executives are not able to grasp their importance, then what you will have as a result are cyber policies, created from the ivory tower, which everyone must follow, and which would inhibit the business instead of enabling it. If cybersecurity becomes more inclusive instead of exclusive, then we will be all the more superior to the attackers. As it is, it’s the enemy who are inclusive. They don’t have any requirement that hackers should have this or that degree or should have attended an Ivy League school. Most hackers are self-taught, and when something sparks their interest, they go online. They read. Nobody tells them they could not do it because they are not a good fit. Initial strides Foremost, before anything can be done, there must be an acknowledgment of the current situation and the need to be more welcoming. Business leaders and decision-makers must recognize the unconscious bias that they have. They have to understand that creating positive disruption and changing patterns are a business differentiator. My organization is active in our advocacy for inclusion in cybersecurity, specifically for women. We have been speaking to organizations on positive disruption. A good way to create action is through regional events and grassroots involvement. We bring the community together, and it is these communities that conduct classes and organize meet-ups and training courses. We did this in reaction to the more established cybersecurity conferences that present numerous barriers to entry, and which are more for senior professionals. Women may not have the luxury of being able to spring for the travel, or leave their homes for days at a time, and perhaps find childcare for the time they are away. ISC2 also now has an associate certification, where an individual can take the certification examination without the work experience; providing an opportunity for employers to recognize & support candidates entering or transitioning to the cybersecurity industry. Personal reasons My passion for diversity in cybersecurity is driven by several things. First, given my degree in sociology, I must have had a hundred interviews before landing on a job in technology, even though I knew a lot about it – it had been a hobby for years — and it was clear I was keenly interested and willing to learn. They said I was not the right fit because I did not have a technology degree; specifically, a computer science degree. Didn’t matter that I could code in Assembler, BASIC, C, Cobol, Comal, Forth, Fortran, Logo, Pascal, PL/1 or Algol. And I thought, if this could happen to me, a white male, think of all the others who could not break the barriers! I ended up leading the engineering department of the first company that hired me. And then I met my wife, who herself had to break barriers in IT because she was a woman. For example, during meetings, she was seen as more of an assistant rather than a peer, even though she was very technical. My male colleagues initially said I was just on the bandwagon with my advocacy for women in cybersecurity. I said no. Men have to recognize that we have to be part of the solution, since many of the positions of senior leadership are occupied by men. ‘This is not my coffee’ I have a good analogy for all this. Suppose you went to a Starbucks, and when your coffee is given to you, you see that it was not what you asked for. For a moment you might think you might as well take it, because the barista probably knows what is good for you, more than you do. But no – you renegotiate. The barista does not know any better. You then look for the manager to explain the mistake and to get the drink you want. Empathy is what can truly enable us to understand that we need to change the status quo. Yes, I am male, I am white, but I know that my background is a lot different from that of my peers. Because of this, I am very empathetic in that I know there are institutionalized barriers. I should know – I have spent the past 25 years in security. What should really matter is that there are many talented individuals capable of both critical and creative thinking. They may not come in the shape and size we have traditionally expected them to be, but they are interested. They are intelligent. In the end, only three questions should matter to organizations when they decide on investing in somebody for a cybersecurity role: Do you have the brain? Are you passionate? Can you learn? Kyle F.

The existence of community-based, community-run institutions are critical now more than ever, as gentrification and displacement plague cities across the country. Tonight we celebrate two institutions who have decades of serving Bay Area communities – City College of San Francisco and Suigetsukan Dojo in Oakland: The struggle to save CCSF has been ongoing over the past couple of years. Currently, CCSF is gaining traction in its struggle to maintain accreditation and promote high quality, low cost, accessible education.  Salima Hamirani speaks with students Matthew Martinez and Kerri Ann Navarro-Borja, and professor Vike Palaita of the Save City College of San Francisco Coalition to get the latest updates on the campaign, and to hear why they're encouraging as many as people as possible to enroll in City College classes this semester. Suigetsukan is a non-profit collective martial arts dojo in Oakland that teaches and trains in the traditional Japanese martial arts of Jujutsu, Aikido, and Japanese Sword.  With so many martial arts training halls and dojos in the Bay Area – what makes Suigetsukan such a special place?  Ellen Choy hears from Mike Esmailzadeh, Rebecca Wong, and Aiko Yoshitani about why this 23-year-old community institution has created a place many of their students call home.

In this podcast, we’d like to introduce Dr Sam Bowne – Professor of Computer Networking and Information Technology from City College of San Francisco. Gordon and I have known or known of Sam since 2004. Sam is a tremendous classroom instructor bringing his extensive expertise in and passion for networking and network security to his students and his colleagues. Sam is also generous with his knowledge, making his lectures and classroom materials available to anyone who wants to learn. In what we hope will be a recurring role, Sam joins us today to share his thoughts on security and provide us with a snapshot of the latest and greatest developments in the field of network security. Here's some of the questions Sam answers: 1. Sam you have a BS and a PhD in Physics – how did you end up in networking and security? 2. You’ve been at CCSF since 2000 – what classes do you teach? 3. Ethical hacking? Sounds like an oxymoron – what do you mean by ethical hacking? 4. I know you’ve taken some of your students to DEFCON in Las Vegas. This conference of hackers is probably unlike anything our listeners have ever attended. Could you tell us a little about it? 5. Are most of the attendees self-taught or do they attend formal classes? 6. In terms of recent developments (threats, security solutions, and research), what’s been on your radar screen lately? 7. Sam how do you keep up with all of this information? 8. What about your own skills and knowledge? How do you keep these up-to-date? 9. If a student is interested in learning more about networking – in particular securing a network, how would you advise them to get started? What sort of characteristics – in a student – would make them a good candidate for this type of work? 10. Now for something from a chat session with a student: my twitter account was hacked :( -- maybe i should hop on that security course just for some personal safety do you, yourself actually keep different passwords for everything? i'm freaked out and want to differentiate all my passwords but, that's crazy! What advice can you give my studemt? Sam's class content, email and lots of other info can be found at http://samsclass.info/ Check him out!!  

The Mid-Pacific Information and Communications Technologies (MPICT) Center is a recently funded National Science Foundation (NSF) – Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Regional Center hosted by City College of San Francisco (CCSF). MPICT's mission is to coordinate, promote and improve the quality and availability of ICT education in a region consisting of Northern California, Northern Nevada, Southern Oregon, Hawaii and the Pacific Territories. Current Regional Partners include: Ohlone College , Santa Rosa Junior College , Cabrillo College and Foothill College. We've had a great relationship with Pierre, James and CCSF and were fortunate to get them on camera to talk about MPICT at the 2008 SAME-TEC Conference. MPICT is off to a great start under the leadership and direction of Pierre and James. Contact them for more information at www.mpict.org

In 2001, San Francisco voters approved $195 million in general obligation bonds to support facility expansion and infrastructure improvements at City College of San Francisco (CCSF), which provided more than 4,700 courses per semester to more than 106,000 students last year. In 2005, an additional $246.3 million in bonds were approved for further CCSF expansion and improvements.With funding in hand, CCSF Chancellor Philip R. Day Jr. then outlined a strategic vision for the college: Prioritize improvements in the collegeâ��s communications technology infrastructure as strategic assets in order to advance the institutionâ��s abilities to efficiently deliver educational value to the community. At the time, however, the college was experiencing reductions in educational funding, resulting in pressure to reduce operating costs. In this podcast we interview CCSF Network Manager and Institute for Convergence of Optical and Network Systems (ICONS) NSF CoPI  Tim Ryan and Pierre Thiry, CCSF faculty and ICONS PI. Tim and Pierre discuss how CCSF has upgraded infrastructure and provided new learning opportunity for their students.  The interview follows the February 2007 Communications News cover story titled Strategic Assets: Communications infrastructure advances the City College of San Franciscoâ��s ability to efficiently deliver educational value to the community.Links:ICONS Home page: http://www.ccsf.edu/Resources/ICONS/Communications News Cover Story: http://www.comnews.com/stories/articles/0207/0207coverstory.htm
