California State University San Bernardino’s Transfer Student Success Center asked their students to nominate a faculty member who inspired them when they attended community college. Dr. Diane Pfahler, Professor of Psychology and Advisor for the Psychology and Research Clubs was nominated by a former CHC student and featured recently in that university’s virtual celebration.
“I love teaching at the community college level,” Pfahler declares.“It is usually their first exposure to college, and for many they are first in their families to attend college. Helping them learn that they belong here and can do well is such a joy,” said Pfahler.
Pfahler offered the following words of advice to her students about how to be successful at a community college. “Find a mentor and check in frequently! Use campus resources! Believe in yourself! Know that one test or one grade does not define you! Be the change you want to see in the world. And at the end of every class: Go forth and free the world. It’s a big job. Get started early!”
