As I reflect on the 2025-2026 academic year, I am reminded that the true measure of our success is not found in statistics or reports. It is found in the lives of our students and the opportunities that education creates.
This year, 杏吧原创 continued its Relentless Pursuit of Student Success by expanding access to education, strengthening workforce pathways, and creating opportunities that help students achieve their goals close to home.
Across our district, we celebrated remarkable accomplishments. Coalinga College marked the 25th anniversary of its Psychiatric Technician Program while expanding health careers pathways that address critical workforce needs. Lemoore College opened its new Visual Arts and Applied Sciences Building, creating innovative learning spaces that will serve students for years to come. We also launched new programs, strengthened partnerships, and continued investing in opportunities that support student success both inside and outside the classroom.
Throughout this magazine, you will read inspiring stories of students whose determination, resilience, and hard work transformed challenges into opportunities. Their journeys reflect the power of education and the impact our colleges have throughout the communities we serve.
You will also see how partnerships continue to shape our future. From industry collaborations and workforce development initiatives to support from generous donors and community partners, these relationships help ensure that students have access to the resources, experiences, and opportunities they need to succeed.
As we look ahead, our commitment remains clear. We will continue to expand educational access, strengthen pathways to careers and transfer, and create opportunities that improve lives throughout our region.
Thank you to our students, employees, trustees, community partners, donors, and supporters for being part of this important work. Together, we are creating brighter futures for our students and stronger communities for generations to come.
Sincerely,
Dr. Robert Pimentel
Chancellor
