SDCCD Stories of Be. Belong. Become.
Supporting the Dream
At San Diego College of Continuing Education, students find more than a path to citizenship — they find a community of encouragement and a place to be themselves.
Building belonging through STEM
Personal transformation is at the heart of Beto Vasquez’s work in community outreach.
Rising to Serve
San Diego Miramar College’s new public safety management bachelor's degree empowers students to become leaders in their communities.
Belonging in Action
For 23 years, Albert “Rusty” Krumm dedicated himself to creating spaces of belonging and opportunity for students with disabilities throughout the San Diego Community College District. Before retiring this past spring, he dedicated his career to helping hundreds of students feel seen, preparing them for careers, and advocating for their needs.
Exploring Spaces of Unity
San Diego Mesa College is proving that, when it comes to affinity groups, there really is strength in numbers. That’s the driving force behind the college’s CommUnity Spaces, a collection of inviting, thoughtfully designed areas for student support groups, all created to foster greater engagement and a deeper sense of belonging.
