Warm wishes for a restful winter break

December 19, 2025

Dear Campus Community,

As 2025 draws to a close, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to all of you. The ÐÔÊÓ½ç community truly is a gift, and I am honored to work with every one of you. You help drive our mission of improving lives by providing high-quality support, mentorship, coaching and instruction to students all year round. I am also grateful to work alongside such a dedicated, passionate Governing Board and Executive Team, who provide strategic leadership in our daily operations and long-term vision.

The last 12 months have been very busy, but also rewarding thanks to you and our students.

I am proud that 2025 saw the largest fall student headcount in ÐÔÊÓ½ç history. Everyone deserves credit for this incredible achievement because it reflects the hard work of employees across all departments and campuses. I am excited for the growth of our campuses, with several Measure P projects recently completed – including our new Chino Instructional Building – as well as projects nearing completion such the new Library Learning Commons, which will officially open in January.

We have much to look forward to in the new year and I know that 2026 will be even better thanks to all of you and your dedication to students.

In observance of the winter recess, all ÐÔÊÓ½ç campuses will be closed from December 24 to January 1. Regular schedules will resume on Friday January 2, 2026.

I wish you a very warm and relaxing winter break. See you next year!

Sincerely,

Henry D. Shannon, Ph.D.
