________________________________
The Las Positas College Basic Skills Committee is committed to providing students with the foundation they need to succeed in higher education and the 21st Century. For many of our students, this means strengthening those basic skills in reading, writing, mathematics, learning skills, study skills, and English as a Second Language. The Basic Skills Committee believes that students continually strengthen their skills throughout their college experience and in the different disciplines. Improving basic skills requires the college to work together across departments, disciplines and services.
