Message from the President
On behalf of Fresno City College, it is my honor and privilege to present the college’s 2022- 2023 Community Report, which highlights our many accomplishments and achievements during the academic year. As California’s first community college, Fresno City College has provided 113 years of qual- ity education to the Central Valley. Our expert faculty and classified professionals have a commitment to providing services and opportunities for all our students. With more than 250 majors and certificates, our courses and programs are as diverse as the nearly 23,000 students we serve each semester. Our commitment to providing workforce training and transfer degrees has enabled many of our students to begin careers in nursing, law enforcement, automotive technology and others to attend the four-year college or university of their choice. Since 2020, the college has broken ground on five construction projects totaling more than $255 million. With these new facilities, the face of the college has made historic progress in providing more access to higher education for students. The long-awaited West Fresno
Center, the much-needed Parking Structure, and the new First Responders Campus are all open and serving students. Still under construction are the new Science Building and new Child Develop- ment Center. You can find more details in this report. As the college president, I am committed to providing my support to our students, employees and the community for years to come. We are excited about what the future holds for the college and the region. Go Rams!
