Mr. Lewis came to San Antonio College (SAC) in 2006 after a private sector career of designing, implementing and managing workforce and sustainability training projects in developing nations. During that time, he and his wife founded the nonprofit corporation Tools for Development, which undertakes sustainable development projects in indigenous villages of Mexico. In late 2008, he presided over the initial strategy sessions for what is now the Alamo Colleges Green Initiative. He and his assistants now coordinate the many environmentally related events and activities that take place at Eco Centro, which serves as a demonstration center for solar energy use in

The TiPi project focuses on students whowish to transfer at the 3rd year level from 2-year schools to a sub-set of the five-year engineeringand engineering technology programs at our university, and provides scholarship support of$8,000 per student for a total of 75 students. In support of this grant, our university iscontributing $50,000 to ensure that the TiPi transfer students have continuing financial supportafter the grant expires and help them graduate on time.

In 2008, Cañada was awarded a Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP) grant by the U.S. Department of Education. The project, entitled Student On-ramp Leading to Engineering and Sciences (SOLES), aimed to increase the participation, retention, and success of underrepresented and educationally disadvantaged students interested in pursuing careers in STEM fields. Among the strategies developed for this project is the Summer Math Jam – a one-week intensive mathematics program designed to improve students’ preparation for college-level math courses. When the SOLES grant ended in 2011, the college received
