CALIFORNIA HISTORY CENTER
The California History Center is an active focal point for the study of California and has been recognized as an Outstanding Educational Facility by the state of
California, while receiving numerous other awards and honors. The center is housed in the rehabilitated Trianon building, located on the De Anza College campus and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The center is dedicated to promoting the study of local and regional history and encouraging the development of a vibrant civic and cultural life for the community. Students, faculty, staff and community members are welcome to utilize the center’s resources: credit courses, changing exhibits, lectures and special events, and publications including its quarterly membership magazine, Californian, and local history books.
Another history center resource is the Stocklmeir Library and Archives, a growing collection of materials on California and on almost every aspect of Santa Clara Valley’s development. A book and journal collection and archives, including student research papers, audio and video oral history, photographs, manuscripts, ephemera, newsletters, clippings and pamphlets are available for research.
The CHC also houses the Audrey Edna Butcher Civil Liberties Education Initiative, which engages students and the general public on civil liberties issues.

De Anza offers career training in 23 different subject areas, most with hands-on learning, internship opportunities and curriculum developed with input from industry experts. These programs are designed to prepare students for immediate employment or transfer to a four-year university, and to enhance career prospects for working professionals. A number of De Anza’s career training programs have earned special recognition from the chancellor’s office for California community colleges, which found they met or exceeded goals for helping students increase earnings and find employment in a job similar to their field of study.

ATHLETICS
De Anza is a member of the Coast Conference, the Northern California Football Conference, and the California Community College Athletic Association. We are the proud home of 12 consecutive Coast Conference All-Sports trophies – awarded to the top athletic program in the region. Varsity teams compete in eight sports for men: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, soccer, swimming and diving, track and field, and water polo. The eight sports for women include badminton, basketball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, track and field, volleyball and water polo.
All entering students have two years of eligibility at the community college level and must be enrolled in 12 units while competing. Nine of those units must be attempted in courses that are consistent with the student-athlete's educational plan. Most athletic programs follow a yearlong calendar of conditioning, training and competition. The Athletics Department offers dedicated full-time support staff members; special academic cohorts including REACH (Reading, English, Athletics, Counseling and Humanities) and FAST (Football Academic Success Team); and leadership development opportunities in the Student- Athlete Advisory Council. Information about each program and coach can be found on the Athletics Department website.
