Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓

During his keynote address, Bryan Terrell Clark reminded graduates that “the future is not waiting for you to become someone else. It is asking for you to become more fully yourself.”

As you leave West Valley College and step into what’s next, we hope you carry that with you. Build boldly. Lead with compassion. Create the kind of future only you can.

Vikings, we are so proud of you, and we can’t wait to see how you ignite the next chapter of your lives.

30,000 meals packed. One incredible day of service.

Throughout Saturday, hundreds of volunteers filled the West Valley College gymnasium with energetic teamwork and compassion as we partnered with the Rotary International Club of Saratoga and Rise Against Hunger to help fight global hunger.

From students and employees to community members and many of our Viking athletics teams, the collective effort behind this year’s Epic Day of Service was genuinely inspiring.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, packed meals, cheered each other on, and helped make a real impact far beyond our campus.
