What an unforgettable moment at West Valley College! 🎶💙

After years of making music together from a distance, country artist Nick Tayler and lyricist Henry Evans finally met in person on our campus, and KTVU FOX 2 was there to capture the magic!

Hosted in partnership with the College of Adaptive Arts (CAA), this special event celebrated the power of music, creativity, and inclusion.

We’re especially proud of the incredible work our Disability and Educational Support Program (DESP) does every day to empower students, remove barriers, and create a campus where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

A beautiful reminder that music connects us, and inclusion makes extraordinary things possible.
