The 2024 recipient was clinical social worker Ricardo Escobedo.

Executive Director Rachel Evey says the foundation is the fundraising arm of the college with the mission of equitable access to education.

"For us that means, depending on what a student needs are and what their experience is, we want to make sure they are successful because ultimately,  we want to make sure they finish their program and come and work for local industries"

For the 2022-23 academic year, the foundation provided over $1,115,000 in funding to support WVC.  Learn more about the WVC Foundation
