Hello!

Summer is officially here! A time to look forward to summer vacations, long beach days, barbeques, but most importantly, special friends and family time.

Please know that although it's summer time, the Foundation office is open for business, working to fulfill the mission of providing student success opportunities at El Camino College.

Happy Summer!

Executive Director
