San Bernardino Valley College Foundation welcomed retired faculty and staff back to campus for a special Thanksgiving Luncheon in the SBVC Sunroom on Nov. 19th, celebrating their lasting impact on the Wolverine community.

The annual event featured a warm meal catered and served by SBVC Culinary Arts students, campus updates from Foundation leaders and SBVC President Dr. Gilbert J. Contreras, and opportunities for retirees to reconnect with both current and former colleagues.

The luncheon highlighted SBVC’s gratitude for the decades of service and dedication that helped shape the college’s legacy of excellence. Smiles, stories, and laughter filled the room as the Foundation expressed appreciation to those who continue to embody the spirit of SBVC’s mission — even in retirement.
