Yakima Valley College

A new direction — and a future full of opportunity.

Angel Mendoza, a Yakima native and first-generation college student at Yakima Valley College, is building a career in information technology after serving in the military and working in corrections.

“What I find most interesting about IT is the constant growth and innovation,” he said. “It keeps me motivated and excited about my future.”

For Angel, earning his degree represents more than career advancement — it honors his parents’ sacrifices and sets an example for the next generation.
