We went from this (the College’s Calabasas Campus) …
… to this open field.
Here’s the Ground Breaking at the new campus.
Thanks in Great Part to our founders: Founding President Dr. Ronald P. McArthur …
Mr. Marcus A. Berquist …
Dr. John W. Neumayr …
... and Mr. Peter L. DeLuca.
Our second President, Dr. Thomas E. Dillon
Our current president, Dr. Michael F. McLean (pictured with his wife, Lynda)
We have come a long way from this …
when we lived in temporary trailers connected by dirt (sometimes mud) walkways …
… and ate out of a food truck …
… and prayed in our small chapel.
We slowly built the campus, starting with St. Joseph Commons.
Throughout it all our tutors stuck with us, like Laurence L. Shields …
… Molly Gustin …
… and Richard Ferrier.
Even our Librarian, Viltis Jatulis
Of course, we could not have a College without our first students, like Tom and Paula Kaiser (both ’75) …
… Glen (’81) and Maureen (’79) Coughlin …
… Greg Becher (’80) …
… Paul O’Reilly (’84), and many, many others.
Through fire (looking outside a temporary-dorm room window) …
… and Flood (the Santa Paula Creek, just outside the College’s front gate)
Our campus looks like this today, and with the largest student body ever!
Our past …
… just like our present …
… and Our Future: The 2012 High School Summer Program, our largest ever!
Thanks be to God!
