Matt Wetstein is the Superintendent/President of Cabrillo College and during his tenure has increased awareness of several issues community colleges and their students face. In 2018-19 he served on a statewide community college CEO task force addressing homelessness and food insecurity issues, resulting in policy recommendations to the Legislature and Governor. Under his leadership, Cabrillo strengthened its partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank to double the number of Fresh Market food distributions at the college. This spring, Cabrillo had a record number of graduates and new programs have been established like the Cabrillo College Promise Program. The program ensures equal access to education by providing free tuition to full-time students for two years to any graduating senior from the Cabrillo College District service area. The Cabrillo College Promise eliminates financial barriers to higher education, making a college degree a reality. Dr. Wetstein’s research on the effects of the economic recession on California community college students has won national and state awards.

7Roots Creative directed, filmed, produced, and edited this video for the Aptos Chamber of Commerce Awards Dinner which highlighted Matt and his work in the Aptos Community.
