Purpose
In 1989, the SBVC Alumni Association established the exclusive Alumni Hall of Fame
to honor former students whose lives display exceptional professional accomplishments
and contributions to the the well-being of others. The San Bernardino Valley College
Foundation Alumni Hall of Fame aims to recognize our honorees for their unique and
inspiring professional journeys and to present exemplary, positive role models to
current and future students.
Nomination Criteria
- The candidate should have attended San Bernardino Valley College for at least two
semesters and earned at least twenty-four units.
- The candidate need not be a graduate, but it should be evident that the San Bernardino
Valley College experience was significant in relation to the nominee’s achievements.
Alumni whose association with San Bernardino Valley College was minimal or casual
should not be considered.
- The type of achievement judged should be all-inclusive, not restrictive; global, not
parochial; recognizable, not necessarily well known or popular.
- Primary consideration will be given to the candidate near career’s end, if not actually
retired. Mid-career achievers, first bloom achievers, or potential achievers will
be given secondary consideration. Posthumous recognition will also be considered.

of education excellence and ideals of human concerns. Selection of honorees should
be removed from cronyism, political ambition, financial settlement, and ethnic or
gender considerations.

time, resources, monetary contributions.
- Candidates may nominate themselves.
