It has been an exciting month of July. Just last week, I participated in the CEO Leadership Academy and the Rialto Unified School District Unity Summit. Yesterday, we hosted an extremely engaging Coffee with the Cabinet and a recognition BBQ for our football team. We will be recognizing all of our athletics teams this year as they represent us across the state this centennial year.

It was a real highlight last week to spend time with our Valley Bound Summer Bridge students. We had a chance to hear them practice “Go Valley-Valley Up!” I want to thank the entire team working with our Valley Bound Program.

Summer 2025 has been busy.  My cabinet is hard at work preparing for a robust Fall agenda.  I provided a brief update at Coffee with the Cabinet last Monday on the progress we are making as we plan for a collegewide reorganization, a restructuring of our committees, the development of a participatory governance handbook, the creation of the Valley Up! Initiative 2025-30, and celebrating 100 years with 100 events!
