Each academic year tells a story.
It is a story of growth, discovery, and transformation. It is found in the students who take a chance on themselves, the faculty and staff who guide them, and the communities that support them along the way.
This year, Lemoore College embraced a simple but powerful theme: Belong. Believe. Become.
These three words reflect what we hope every student experiences during their time with us. We want students to find a place where they belong, discover reasons to believe in themselves, and become the people they aspire to be.
As you read this magazine, you will encounter stories that bring that vision to life. You will meet students who overcame obstacles, returned to college after years away, pursued new opportunities, and discovered possibilities they never imagined. Their journeys remind us that education is about more than earning a degree or certificate. It is about opening doors, expanding horizons, and creating pathways to a brighter future.
This year also brought important milestones for our college. From the opening of the Visual Arts and Applied Sciences Building to the growth of Umoja Village and expanded partnerships throughout our region, Lemoore College continued to invest in opportunities that strengthen students and communities alike.
Thank you to our students, employees, community partners, and supporters for being part of the Lemoore College story. Together, we are creating a place where students can belong, believe, and become.
Sincerely,
James Preston
