The Long Beach City College Foundation

Thank you to everyone who joined us at The Beach House for our Board of Governors End-of-Year Celebration. It was a fantastic evening of great company, meaningful conversations, and beautiful ocean views as we reflected on a successful year together.

We appreciate your leadership, support, and dedication. Here's to another great year ahead!

The LBCC Foundation proudly honors the Vocational and Registered Nursing graduates of Long Beach City College who completed their nursing degrees and were celebrated at the Spring 2026 Nursing Pinning Ceremony! To recognize their dedication, perseverance, and commitment to caring for others, every nursing graduate received a scholarship check at the ceremony. 🎉
