HONORS: Loretta Carrillo: Loretta Carrillo was named Gavilan College’s Employee of the Month for August. She is a part-time instructional program specialist for the ESL Program and has been with Gavilan College since 1980.
Carrillo is a specialist in ESL and also an instructor, so she wears many hats: program assistant, department chair support, advisor, mentor, tutor, Counseling Department mediator, conversation group facilitator and more. She goes out of her way to help ESL students get assessed, oriented and assisted in every way. When she can’t help a student, she finds out who can and directs him/her to that person or resource.
When ESL faculty is discussing new or old issues, Carrillo provides essential background, constantly reminding instructors to think about the needs of the students first. Carrillo’s many talents, her love for what she does, and her loyalty to the ESL Program and its students have made the program stronger.
