The 2026 Distinguished Alumni celebrations with Meg Godlewski & Scottie Lee Meyers were fantastic! JMC hosted a lovely mixer in Bret Harte House where current students had the opportunity to mingle with our fabulous alumni. Then we had the honor of attending the Forever Humboldt Distinguished Alumni Awards Banquet with family and friends. What a treat!
