Dear Andrea,

Please no more April showers! We're definitely ready for May flowers! And speaking of May, we are in the home stretch for awarding scholarships for fall 2024 totaling over $900,000! Our staff and Board of Directors are anxious to honor many of the recipients at the Annual Scholarship Dinner on May 16th, where students will meet the generous donors who provide the funds for books, supplies, technology, transportation and more. We are most grateful to these friends of El Camino and can't wait to celebrate with them! We are also getting ready for Commencement which marks a milestone for so many of our students.

Spring has sprung and we are ready!

Warmly,

Andrea Sala

Executive Director

This year’s National Women’s History Month theme was “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion." Last month, El Camino was proud to recognize six women who exemplified this mantra of inclusion in our common quest for freedom and opportunity.

The Women’s History Month Committee sought women from the El Camino College campus and community who have contributed to the college and/or to the surrounding community to honor at the Distinguished Women's Reception.

On March 27th, El Camino College recognized these Distinguished Women who were nominated by their peers and selected by members of the Women's History Month Committee. This year's honorees included: Mele Makalo, Rachel Pittock, Argelia Andrade, Jackie LaBouff (in memoriam), Candy Paula, and Colonel Mia L. Walsh.



Congratulations to all honorees! We enjoyed learning all about you and celebrating your amazing accomplishments while promoting inclusion efforts in and around the South Bay community.

Congratulations to all! We are very proud of all your accomplishments at El Camino College and beyond!

Thanks to the continued generosity of the Redondo Beach Rotary, nine El Camino students will receive scholarships this year, and food insecure students will benefit from their club's food collection for the Warrior Pantry.

We truly appreciate keeping El Camino College in your giving objectives!
