1910 - Newhall (Auto) Tunnel opens, bypassing Beale's Cut [ story]
|
 With classes at College of the Canyons now in full swing and both campuses alive with students, I am reminiscent of my youth and the fear and uncertainty that accompanied the question, “What do I want to BE?” This can seem like a daunting question to some and if you’re like me, the “what” I wanted to BE changed many times through the years.
Right now at COC, all who visit will see banners placed throughout campus that serve as reminders that you can BEgin, BElieve and BEcome anything you desire!
BE Creative BE Amazing BE Successful
BE Extraordinary BE Skilled
The beauty of BEcoming your best doesn’t apply to just students. At COC, there are countless ways for you to BE engaged!
If there is anything I can do to assist you, please let me know.
As your Alumni Network continues to grow, remember that you make us stronger. Please continue to Connect ~ Belong ~ Support!
You are the best
BE a part of the best –
Cindy Biehahn
