Meet Our Board of Directors
Our SCC Foundation board volunteers are vitally important to Santiago Canyon College. They connect the college with community partners and help raise funds for programs and scholarships. With their support, our students gain access to a wider range of campus and community programs and resources that will broaden their college experience and help them become the leaders and innovators of tomorrow.
Our Mission
Aligned with Santiago Canyon College’s mission, the Santiago Canyon College Foundation champions student success and educational equity by funding campus programs and faculty initiatives.
