Lisa DeFraga

Lisa DeFraga is happy to be teaching U.S. History at Santa Barbara City College.

She obtained her Bachelor's Degree in History at Pomona College, and then, after taking several years off from school, decided to pursue a Master's Degree in History as well. Once she received her M.A. from San Francisco State University, she began to explore teaching options at the community college level.

After moving to Santa Barbara in the Summer of 2000, Lisa was fortunate enough to secure adjunct positions at Moorpart College and Santa Barbara City College. Now in her third semester teaching at SBCC, Lisa thoroughly enjoys her job, her students, and the beautiful setting of the college.

Rick Wolfe

Rick is a first-time Adjunct Instructor at Santa Barbara City College. Teaching here has special meaning to him as this is where he got his collegiate start on two different occasions.

After graduation from Santa Barbara High in 1972, he attended SBCC, completing the requirements for an AA degree. In 1975 he transferred to UCSB as a zoology major. After two quarters, the demands of a growing family led to his decision to take a break from school and work full time. The "break from school" lasted about 23 years!

In 1997, he returned to SBCC, this time as a history major, finished the lower division requirements for a history degree and transferred once more to UCSB where he earned his BA in 2000. For the past two years he has been a graduate student at UCSB and earned his MA earlier this year. He plans to continue in the doctoral program with an emphasis on late nineteenth and early twentieth century race relations.

During his "break from school" he worked in the local grocery business, most of the time as a produce manager for Vons. He has three grown children, is expecting his first grandchild in December and he and his fiancee are planning to be married next July.

He is very much enjoying teaching at SBCC this semester. It is challenging but very rewarding and he appreciates the opportunity to hone his teaching skills. The quality education he received here made for a smooth transition to the University level. He hopes, as an Instructor, he can help others meet their goals as he has been helped in reaching his.
