The document summarizes the Institute of Business, Management, and Law (IBML) charter high school located on the Humphreys College campus. It discusses that IBML has been operating successfully for 4 years and will expand to 400 students. It allows high school students to take college courses at Humphreys College and potentially complete one year of college during high school. Thirty-six students graduated from IBML in June and four received the Gregory Vaughn Memorial Scholarship to attend Humphreys College. The partnership between Stockton Unified School District, Humphreys College, and IBML provides students with opportunities to further their education and job skills.

1. Thanks to a creative partnership
with Humphreys College, stu-
dents in the Stockton Unified
School District have another
choice for high school. This
coming school year will be the
fourth year the Institute of Busi-
ness, Management, and Law
(IBML) has been successfully
operating on the college campus.
The coming school year will
include an expansion from 260
students to 400.
The school is geared toward
training students in professional
fields such as business and law.
During their last two years at
IBML, students are able to take
courses at the college which they
earn Humphreys credits. While
attending the college courses,
Humphreys College provides all
of the funding for books, tui-
tion, and fees. This enables a
student to potentially complete
one year of college during high
school.
IBML conducted their first
graduation on June 7. Thirty-six
high school seniors graduated
that evening with the Interim
Superintendent, Carl Toliver, as
the keynote speaker. Humphreys
College presented a scholarship,
the Gregory Vaughn Memorial
Scholarship, to four deserving
students who plan to attend the
college in the fields that they had
studied during their junior and
senior years. The scholarship
was established in memory of
Greg, a well loved member of
the college staff who was instru-
mental in the beginnings of
IBML. Those students are
Nancy Galvan, Damone Oler,
and Phongsavath Bounmivilay.
Those same students plus Haley
Navarro received a Humphreys
College Trustee Scholarship that
provided full tuition for four
years. They were able to receive
college credits for the courses
that they took at Humphreys.
Stockton Unified School District
and Humphreys College have
provided the students of the
district with an excellent oppor-
tunity to further their education
and specific skills in their fields
of interest. These students will
be better prepared for the work-
force as a result of more focus at
an earlier age. IBML (the Insti-
tute for Business, Management,
and Lay), a public, charter high
school is open for students from
all regional high schools. Cur-
rently there is enrollment from
Lodi, Manteca, and Tracy school
districts. Students from the re-
gion are encouraged to take
advantage of this opportunity.
IBML is proud to serve the
interests of students, families,
business and community in our
area.
Robert Humphreys, President,
and Wilma Okamoto-Vaughn,
Dean of Administration, hand
graduates their scholarship
awards.

2. One of the subprograms of the
BEA is the Speaker’s Bureau.
The Speaker’s Bureau is a great
way to bring careers to the class-
room or to just raise awareness
of certain topics. Since school is
back in session it’s time to vol-
unteer some time and speak to
students in the classroom.
The speaker’s bureau is also a
great way for your business to
become more visible. Of course,
you introduce yourself to the
class and tell them where you
work and what you do. Some of
the speakers hand out giveaways
so the students have something
tangible to be a reminder of
your company. It’s almost like
killing two birds with one stone:
helping the community and your
business.
The BEA has a couple of speak-
ing engagements available for
sign ups. If you are interested in
becoming involved with the
speaker’s bureau or if you’d just
like to try it out and give one
presentation, contact BEA coor-
dinator, Heather Asker. It’s a
fun break in the day when you
get out of the office and engage
young minds.
California Math Partnership–
SUSD
The California Math Partnership
(CaMP) is looking for speakers
with careers involving mathe-
matics to speak to math teach-
ers. The teachers appreciate the
presentations because it helps
them to, “Think about their own
teaching and how they can bet-
ter prepare their own students
for the workforce” Nanci Holtz,
CaMP Coordinator. Dates and
times for these speaking engage-
ments have been set. Please call
for details.
Tech Prep and Environ-
mental Technology Presenta-
tions– SJ Delta College

notice we have, the better.
The Green Team San Joaquin is
also working with local waste
collection agencies as well as
recycling facilities to open their
doors for tours and to facilitate
presentations as well.
It starts with the youth, and they
will help spread the word about
keeping our planet green. Often-
Green Team San Joaquin is un-
derway and since the new school
year is upon us, it’s time to book
presentations for your students.
The presentation covers recy-
cling and “Closing the Loop”,
reducing air pollution, conserv-
ing energy and water conserva-
tion. We are available almost any
time to accommodate a presen-
tation, but of course the more
times, the children will point
things out and remind us of
what we should be doing. These
presentations are to help them
understand the importance of
taking care of our planet.

dinator to schedule a presenta-
