President's Council Garden Party

My Fellow Co-Presidents and I all
Dressed to Impress

As president of the SBCC Honors Program I got invited to attend the annual President's Council Garden Party this weekend along with my fellow co-presidents, Melika and Chino. It was a pleasure attending such an event! Maddy and Peter Jacobson opened their beautiful home to host this party that didn't disappoint. In attendance were a few nervous students (myself included), some City College professors, the SBCC Foundation, the President of the school, Dr. Lori Gaskin, the Board of Directors, and most notably those who have made warm-hearted donations to the college. In addition to funding the various scholarships given out annually, these donors are also to thank for the wide range of programs and resources city college has to offer. That being said, you may now understand why I was a bit nervous to attend this event and meet all these people. However, after meeting the other guests my nervousness quickly turned into excitement and an afternoon well spent! In my time at CC I've had the pleasure of knowing many of the professors and staff around campus who have helped SBCC gain the title of the #1 community college in the nation, but it wasn't until this weekend that I got the chance to meet the people who have worked so hard behind the scenes to get the school to where it is. It's great to have finally met this other side of the SBCC family. Thankful to of had this experience!
