Our Gang Discovers Our Inner Otters!
Celebrate Cabrillo’s achievements and prepare for future challenges with a thorough exploration the Elkhorn Slough
National Estuarine Research Reserve. Our Gang will visit the interpretive center and have a docent educate us, but much
of the activity will require us to walk, kayak, and get our hands muddy in the wetlands of the Monterey Bay. Participants
will be able to select some options (kayak or not) from a menu of activities; we will reconvene as a group after the various
events are done. We will question how changes in the natural environment reflect the evolution of Cabrillo College. When
faculty, staff and administrators have to navigate the wetlands of our beloved, but sometimes unpredictable landscape, we
will experience some of the same problem-solving processes our students face at Cabrillo. This flex activity requires
walking and paddling, so wear comfortable clothes and rubber-soled shoes; bring some back up clothes in case you get
wet. We will most likely eat a meal in Moss Landing after our time at the Elkhorn Slough. We will meet in parking lot E
in front of the 400 building at 8:40am to carpool. Please reserve a space with Michael Pebworth or Paul Harvell. Entrance
fees and schedule to be announced later!

Mental Health First Aid (2-day training, both sessions required)
Although many of us know CPR and First Aid, we are much more likely to encounter someone with mental health
symptoms than someone having a heart attack. An estimated 1 in 4 Americans have a diagnosable mental illness. Mental
Health First Aid (MHFA) is a training course designed to teach individuals methods for assisting someone who may be in
the early stages of developing a mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. As a member of the Cabrillo
community, you have an exciting opportunity to be trained in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA). The course provides
useful information on how to assist individuals who have a history of mental disorders, longer–term mental health
problems, or help identify those developing serious mental health difficulties. Participants who complete the 12–hour
training program will learn a five–step action plan to: assess a situation, select and implement appropriate interventions,
and secure appropriate care for an individual experiencing a mental health problem.

used for and how the fitness industry has missed the boat when it comes to proper use of your midsection. Discover how
proper control of your core can alleviate muscle tension reduce spinal pain and improve movement quality and control.

General Guidelines (see Flex website for details)
1. Required
flex time:
Faculty may fulfill their flex requirement by attending workshops on flex days, or performing individual projects
on designated flex days. Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by your Dean.
Full-time faculty have a minimum time commitment of 24 flexible hours per year PLUS two fall semester
mandatory days (Division/ Department Day and All College Day) and one spring semester mandatory day
(Division/Department Day).
Partial contract faculty are required to participate in a specific number of hours, which are prorated on a
percentage basis of an individual’s contract. Adjunct faculty are required to participate in at least one hour of flex
activity per teaching unit each semester.
2. Special
exception:
You may perform flex activities on days other than the scheduled flex days, as long as they are not during
teaching or working hours, including instructional time and office hours. You must obtain approval from your
Dean.
3. Deadlines:
The deadline for submitting your online flex agreement is the end of flex week. This contract needs to be
approved by your Dean. The deadline for submitting your individual activity is the end of flex week. This contract
needs to be approved by your Dean.
4. Non-participation:
Should you decide to refuse to participate in flex week, you will have your pay reduced by the number of days of
non-participation (maximum of five days fall semester and four days spring semester). All flex activities must be
completed within the academic calendar.
