VENTURA — The Ventura College Foundation (VC Foundation) is hosting tours of the Ventura College campus on the last Monday of the month through April. The “A Pirate’s Life for Me” one-hour walking tour is for community members, service club representatives, community partners, business owners, alumni and donors who are interested in learning about current foundation and college programs.
The tour highlights how the VC Foundation and college support students as they prepare for careers or continue with their education at a four-year university.
Guests hear from a VC Foundation board member and a current Ventura College student as they visit three campus locations. Stops on the tour vary month to month, but possible stops include the Student Connect Center, Health Sciences Center (Nursing, EMT) the Library and Learning Resource Center, the Welding, Auto and Manufacturing Program and the Applied Science Center (where students can train for and receive certifications in specific career paths).
Tours are held from noon to 1:00 p.m. on February 25, March 25 and April 29. Contact Jaimee Hanna, (jhanna@vccd.edu, 805-289-6161), with any questions or to reserve a spot in an upcoming tour.
Established in 1983, the Ventura College Foundation provides financial support to the students and the programs of Ventura College to facilitate student success and grow the impact and legacy of Ventura College as a vital community asset. The Foundation also hosts the Ventura College Foundation Marketplace; an outdoor shopping experience held every weekend on the Ventura College campus east parking lot.
