Message from the Chair

Dear SRJC supporters, alumni and friends,

On behalf of the Santa Rosa Junior College Foundation Board, I would like to thank you for your support of SRJC students and to highlight once more the difference your contribution can make to a student in need. For nearly a century, Santa Rosa Junior College has changed the lives of generations who build their futures on the solid foundation of education. The commitment SRJC’s faculty, staff and administration make to student success is always increased by the support we receive from our local community.

Students of all ages attend SRJC to find their way to professional achievement, prepare to transfer to four- year universities, or train for vocational positions. Too often, they are overwhelmed by financial needs, working several jobs, studying full-time, and trying to make ends meet. In 2013-2014, 37% of students received financial aid, Board of Governors fee waivers or scholarships. The Scholarship Office receives moving essays from students talking about many years of struggle between the desire to go to school and the necessity of meeting a budget. Hardship can be seen at every age: the College has young students who are homeless and do homework while living in a shelter, students in their 40s and 50s who need to make a career change, as well as first generation students who never thought possible a higher education because their parents and grandparents did not have one.

Charlie Briones is one example of a struggling student. His touching story centers around a work accident that left him disabled in the prime of his life and how SRJC helped him retrain and build a new career. Charlie worried constantly about financial issues but applied for awards and worked hard to maintain a high GPA. The College awarded his performance with scholarships that made his dream possible. He gives back to others, tutoring and mentoring many of his peers, and praises SRJC with saving his life and giving him new goals and dreams. After three years of studying at SRJC, Charlie is graduating this year with three Associate degrees. And he’s pursuing the Charlie Briones dream of becoming a math teacher.

There are so many stories like Charlie’s I could share. But you understand the need. Please join me in committing to an even brighter future for all students who attend SRJC, as our support helps them create better lives through education.
