Integrating language development with career education is a key to building Hayward's workforce, and Hayward Rotarians will learn how that is being accomplished here when it hears from Chabot College's dean of language arts, Paul Pinza, at its luncheon meeting Monday, Dec. 1 at 1074 B St.
 
Pinza joined the college in 2023 after serving on various high school and statewide committees focused on English language development. At Chabot, the former high school principal oversees the library as well as academic programs in learning skills and six different language programs. 
 
For Hayward Rotarians, he will discuss Chabot's efforts in developing the workforce of the future, including skills related to using generative artificial intelligence in the workplace. 
 
 
 

The Hayward Rotary Club will next meet Monday, Nov. 17, for lunch at the Sorensdale Recreation Center, 275 Goodwin St., to celebrate opening of the sensory garden it has funded with $50,000 through its community grants program.  The center is a facility and program of the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District. The primary purpose of the program is to provide opportunities for people with an intellectual disability (i.e., developmental disabilities) to achieve greater independence. Hayward Rotary has funded more than $1 million in projects for community nonprofit organizations since 2000.

Aditi Desai of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine will be the featured presenter at the Nov. 3 noon meeting of the Hayward Rotary Club, that will gather at 1074 B St. She is the organization's outreach manager and will discuss stem cell research, gene therapy, and regenerative medicine.

 

The institute is a state agency working to accelerate stem cell, regenerative medicine, and gene therapy research. It has funded more than 100 cell and gene therapy clinical trials.

The institute was established in 2004 when 59 percent of California voters passed Proposition 71, also known as the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative. This vote created CIRM and allocated $3 billion to fund the research and development of stem cell treatments.
