Those who were able to correctly answer questions such as \u201cIn which category was Barack Obama awarded a Grammy \u201d or \u201cWhat was the first Historically Black College or University\u201d, received gift baskets that were graciously donated by the BAEC and San Bruno Chamber of Commerce. No one went home empty handed, the Office of Student Life and Leadership donated giveaways that were also an essential part of making this event so special.<\/p>\n<p>The BAEC is the off-campus business resource center for Skyline College, located at 458 San Mateo Avenue in Downtown San Bruno.\u00a0 For more information, visit us at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skylinebaec.org\">skylinebaec.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Article and Photo by Sarina O\u2019Gilvie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skyline College students, faculty and staff, community members, as well as their friends and family<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylineshines.skylinecollege.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11660"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylineshines.skylinecollege.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylineshines.skylinecollege.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylineshines.skylinecollege.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylineshines.skylinecollege.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylineshines.skylinecollege.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11660\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylineshines.skylinecollege.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylineshines.skylinecollege.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylineshines.skylinecollege.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
