Founder's week couldn't have had a more student-centered, dynamic and festive celebration than the trolley release last Wednesday. It meant so much to all of us in design to see the work of San Diego City College graphic design student Lindsay Jonkers roll down the tracks! Her design Agents of Change was unanimously selected to represent the diversity and spirit of San Diego City College. It featured portraits of students, faculty and staff artfully shot by professional photographer Stephen Simpson. Thanks to MTS for supporting this project!


The work of SDCC Graphic Design/Drama Professor Andrea Singer was simply amazing! Her flair made history come alive as she decked out students, faculty and staff in vintage costumes representing the 100 years of City College history. The Cosmetology department delivered makeup and hair that was inspiring. Thanks to Department Chair Extraordinaire June Richards for her unending support and vision. What incredible work with the organization and planning by our Communications team Heidi Bunkowske and Jamie Netherland. Thrilling to celebrate with our wonderful new President Anthony Beebe, Chancellor Carroll, interim President Lynn Neault and Trustees. Hundreds of cheering students lined the tracks to greet the trolley as it arrived from Imperial Station to the San Diego City College trolley stop.
