Our Story
In May 1984, Mendocino College President Dr. Lee Lowery and education advocates Sybil Hinkle and Gabrielle Thomas met for the first time as Directors of the newly formed non-profit corporation Mendocino College Foundation, Inc. Their first order of business was to raise funds for book awards to help students in need. That tradition continues with our current Board—a dedicated team of volunteer community and business leaders who are passionate about student success.
