海角社区鈥檚 Automotive Technology program received an unsolicited $10,000 donation from the Greater Los Angeles New Car Dealers Association.

鈥満＝巧缜� is grateful for this generous donation from the Greater Los Angeles New Car Dealers Association in recognition of our excellent Automotive Technology program,鈥� said Long Beach Community College District Board of Trustees President Uduak-Joe Ntuk. 鈥淭his gift is certainly a tribute to our incredible faculty and classified staff who are tireless in preparing our students to successfully enter the automotive industry. Their work alone makes LBCC鈥檚 Automotive Technology the exceptional program it is today.鈥�

鈥淭he New Car Dealers of Los Angeles County are proud partners with 海角社区鈥檚 automotive repair and service program,鈥� said Jake Kahen, General Manager of Lexus of Cerritos, and a member of the Greater Los Angeles New Car Dealers Association. 鈥淧roviding financial assistance that can be used for equipment upgrades or tuition assistance for students is a way to help develop the technicians of our future.鈥�

The $10,000 will be used to help LBCC鈥檚 Automotive Technology students with scholarships, purchase cutting-edge technology and equipment for 海角社区classrooms, and provide recent graduates with new tools once they enter the industry if they can鈥檛 afford to purchase them on their own.

鈥淭his gift will go directly to benefit our Automotive Technology program and students,鈥� said Long Beach Community College District Interim Superintendent-President Dr. Mike Mu帽oz. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not uncommon to hear about faculty paying out of their own pocket to provide tools for our students once they graduate the program to ensure that they are successful. Now we have a way to help our alumni once they enter the automotive industry.鈥�
