To put it simply, the Valencia
Alumni Association helps Valencia’s alumni
stay in touch with one another, students and
with the college. Getting involved is the perfect
way to know what’s going on with Valencia,
other alumni and the community. The Association’s
new Vitae magazine for Association members is
an innovative way to stay connected to news,
events, networking opportunities and everything
Valencia.
2008-2009 Board of Directors

and supporters.
