What a wonderful evening welcoming Wolverines back home! 💙💛

Last Thursday’s Alumni & Chamber Mixer brought together alumni, local business leaders, and community members for an evening of networking, reconnecting, and celebrating the SBVC community.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our Chamber partners for participating and encouraging your members to attend. It was especially exciting to discover how many of them are proud SBVC alumni! There is something truly special about seeing Wolverines return to the campus where their journeys began.

From great conversations and new connections to fun raffle prizes, the evening was filled with community, laughter, and school pride. Thank you to everyone who joined us—we can’t wait to see you back on campus again soon!

✈️ Investing in the Future of Aviation at SBVC!

A heartfelt thank you to SBD CARES, the nonprofit arm of the San Bernardino International Airport Authority, for its generous $10,000 donation to the San Bernardino Valley College Foundation.

This gift will support the newly established Pinky and Joe Brier Fund, an initiative working to build a $1 million+ endowment over the next five years to provide scholarships and support for women and disadvantaged students pursuing careers in aviation.

We were honored to welcome members of the SBVC Aeronautics faculty and Foundation, along with community leaders including San Bernardino County Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr., Michael Burrows, CEO of SBD International Airport, Councilmembers Kimberly Knaus and Theodore Sanchez, and Highland Mayor Penny Lilburn for the check presentation.

Together, we’re creating more opportunities for the next generation of aviation professionals. Thank you, SBD CARES, for your continued partnership and commitment to student success!

🌟 Alumni Spotlight: Martin Diaz 🌟

From the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Police Academy to a distinguished 20-year law enforcement career and now successful business owner, SBVC alumnus Martin Diaz is a testament to the power of perseverance, education, and giving back.

After retiring from law enforcement, Martin founded CA Junk Masters, a Riverside-based company serving the Inland Empire. Staying true to his commitment to supporting fellow Wolverines, Martin offers 10% off services for SBVC alumni and students through the SBVC Alumni Benefits Program.

“The academy’s connection to SBVC showed me the importance of continuing education,” Diaz shared. “If I can help even one person, it’s worth it.”

Thank you, Martin, for representing the Wolverine spirit and continuing to make a difference in our community!
