Gavilan Joint Community College District Board of Trustees member Walter R. “Walt” Glines is running unopposed representing the Gilroy area for the November 2014 election.
Two Gavilan College students in the Computer Graphics and Design program—and their instructor—walked away from the California State Fair in Sacramento with top honors, extending the program’s winning streak for a fifth straight year.

Gavilan College trustees voted in closed session last month to change the way trustees are voted into office, confirmed Trustee Tony Ruiz, who represents the Hollister area on the board.
