Thanks to our incredible community, we blew past our 2020 goal!
In June 2020, thanks the generosity of our community, our first ever virtual gala held via Zoom raised more than $400,000 to support students and keep transformational education within reach for all who seek it. At the event, we heard from college president Dr. Sheila Edwards Lange about the role of college in building a more equitable future of all. We also heard from alumna Maria Saavedra who graduated from our Respiratory Care program last year and is now on the front lines in the fight against COVID-19.
