"This was the second Community Day held during the academic year, and I extend my deep appreciation to the Foundation for making it happen," said the college superintendent/president. "There are so many great initiatives and activities taking place at Citrus College; opportunities like this allow us to share college successes with members of the communities we serve. Their support will enable Citrus College to meet its goal to increase student success and completion."
