Distinguished Alumni Event

On December 8, LACC Foundation hosted a special reception honoring some of our many talented and distinguished alumni who participated in LACC’s light pole banner marketing project.  The evening began with campus tours for alumni and their families to view their light pole banners.  Following the tours, guests made their way back to the Student Union for hors d’oeuvres and drinks.  A live jazz band made up of students from the music department played throughout the night.

The event was well-attended with over 100 guests and alumni including former Los Angeles City Councilmember Tom LaBonge, actor Mykelti Williamson, and reporter Tony Valdez.  LACC Foundation Director Robert Schwartz and LACC President Martinez thanked the distinguished alumni for their dedication to their alma mater and awarded all alumni in attendance with miniature versions of their banners.  In Addition, alumna Merryl Alpert spoke warmly of her time at LACC, the honor it is to be an alumna of LACC, and how vital it is to support LACC’s students and programs through the LACC Foundation.
