On October 19, the Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) Foundation hosted a lovely Fall Reception for its President’s Circle and Legacy Circle members on the picturesque patio of the college’s Garvin Theatre. These donors recognize the importance of private funding to enable members of our community to attend our widely acclaimed community college where they can obtain a high-quality education.
About 80 guests enjoyed mingling, with SBCC Music Department faculty members Ralph Lowi and Andrew Martinez providing background music and SBCC Culinary Arts students serving their appetizer creations.
SBCC Interim Superintendent/President Kindred Murillo thanked donors, who have enabled SBCC to do many amazing things. She shared her excitement for SBCC’s focus on creating an environment where students feel like they belong and where they can succeed, which led to the creation of the new Dream Center for undocumented students as well as other initiatives.
