²έΑρΙηΗψ Unveils βBlueprint for the Futureβ at State of the College
November 8, 2019
²έΑρΙηΗψ (²έΑρΙηΗψ) shared news about student successes, initiatives and programs, as well as new building projects at its State of the College on Friday at its Menifee Valley Campus.
βIt's an exciting and transitional time at ²έΑρΙηΗψ, with many important milestones on the horizon,β Dr. Roger Schultz, Superintendent/President of ²έΑρΙηΗψ, told about 100 community leaders and residents. βBecause of our partners, you and ²έΑρΙηΗψ's hardworking faculty, classified staff, and administrators, we truly do Transform Learners, Transform Communities, Transform Lives.β
Schultz and other college administrators unveiled plans for the new Temecula Valley Campus, which opens in Fall 2020; two STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) buildings at the San Jacinto and Menifee Valley campuses; a Student Center at the Menifee Valley Campus; and a new 5,000-seat stadium in Menifee that would host games and community events beginning in 2023.
Schultz also discussed the college's free tuition program.
βBecause we know the cost of tuition can prevent students from attending college, we created the ²έΑρΙηΗψ Promise earlier this year that allows first-time, full-time students to attend ²έΑρΙηΗψ tuition free,β he said. More information can be found at msjc.edu/free.
He also shared information about the ²έΑρΙηΗψ Foundation's Pledge for Success, a basic-needs initiative that helps students with emergency food; books and supplies; professional clothing; basic, essential hygienic items; and emergency funding.
βThe Pledge for Success has already made a difference in students' lives and it's growing thanks to dozens of generous donors, including many of my colleagues here at ²έΑρΙηΗψ,β Schultz said. βIf you're interested in donating to this very worthy cause, please visit msjc.edu/foundation. Thank you for anything you can do to help us remove further barriers to our students' success.β
²έΑρΙηΗψ serves about 27,000 students in a district covering 1,700

In May 2019, ²έΑρΙηΗψ awarded a record-breaking 3,314 degrees and certificates
