My family has a long relationship with MJC. My father and uncle taught there. My parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, and nephew all attended. When I graduated 6th in my class at Grace Davis High School, my friends thought it was beneath me to attend Modesto Junior College. Little did they know what an excellent college MJC is. I had the best teachers – Ben Starr, Jim Johnson, Lori Bryhni, Paul Neumann, Marsha Hoagland, Darrell Topp, and more. And, I saved a lot of money by not going to a fouryear university for the first two years.

I am so grateful that MJC is open to the community. Over the nearly 30 years since I graduated with my Associate in Science degree in engineering, I have continued my relationship with the college as a member of the Off-Balance Dance Company. MJC has an excellent dance program, which would hold its own against most four-year schools. I am proud and honored to be involved in such a program.
