Next Stop: “Monsters University” -- which turns out to be each four-year college that accepted Roadrunner graduates of the Yucaipa-based community college’s Class of 2024.
Organizers of this year’s Transfer Celebration dinner on May 15 sprinkled a bit of Disney/Pixar magic throughout the Crafton Center with décor drawn from Monsters University, the 2013 family comedy starring the voices of John Goodman and Billy Crystal. The film follows the exploits of James P. Sullivan and Mike Wazowski during their college days at MU, from the hustle and bustle of learning a new environment to finding their circle of close friends.
Crafton’s University Transfer Center Coordinator Mariana Macamay welcomed the families of the transferring graduates noting the importance of honoring these soon-to-be graduates for their hard work and achievements. Macamay said, “It is truly an honor to put this event together for you, and I love to see all the families here celebrating.”
For CHC President Kevin Horan, this year’s celebratory dinner was the largest he’s been a part of since becoming the College’s president in 2019. “We are so incredibly excited for you and the next step of your journey,” he said. “You are now Crafton alumni, and you should be extremely proud of that.”
Additional celebration highlights included congratulatory remarks by Meridyth McLaren,CHC’s Academic Senate president, and two honorary student speakers, Josiah Lopez and Rebecca Abeyta; group photos; and the awarding of stoles to be worn at commencement.
Crafton Hills College is the Inland Empire’s top community college for transfers to the University of California.
