A Tradition of Opportunity & Innovation The History of College of the Canyons

The first classes at College of the Canyons met in 1969, but our history began two years earlier. That’s when the citizens of the Santa Clarita Valley decided it was time to have a college to call their own. On Nov. 21, 1967, local voters transformed the idea into reality by overwhelmingly supporting the proposal to create a two-year public college. They also elected a five-member board of trustees to oversee it. William G. Bonelli, Edward Muhl, Peter F. Huntsinger, Bruce Fortine, and Sheila Dyer were chosen from a field of 41 candidates.

Taking the helm of California’s newest community college was Dr. Robert Rockwell, who previously served as president of Santa Barbara City College. It took two years for Rockwell to build a team and create a college from the ground up. Ambitious ideas were forged into a workable plan, faculty and staff were hired, curriculum was developed, and preparations were made to open the college before it even had a campus to call its own.

The College Debuts

College of the Canyons debuted with the help of Hart High School, which contributed a modest, nondescript bungalow at its Newhall campus for the first year. That’s where the college held its first classes starting Sept. 29, 1969, for the 735 students who enrolled in the inaugural academic year of 1969/70. The class schedule was limited, hampered by the fact classes could not meet until late afternoon, when high school students had left for the day. As that first academic year ended, the college held its first and only commencement ceremony at Hart High to honor its first graduates – all 16 of them.

Rockwell’s plan accelerated with the purchase of 153 acres of prime property in the then-new master-planned community of Valencia. Here, in the first summer of the new decade, architects envisioned the future, earthmovers began reshaping the terrain, and an assortment of temporary modular buildings was assembled. The first classes at the Valencia campus began on Oct. 5, 1970.

Fast-Forward to Today

After 55 years, the contrast between then and now is striking. College of the Canyons now serves approximately 34,000 students per year on two campuses – in Valencia and Canyon Country – and is regarded as one of the most innovative community colleges in the nation. The college provides cutting-edge educational and training programs. It is widely recognized as a model community college for enhancing student access, success, and equity. Recent recognition includes:

• A 2024 Carnegie Community Engagement Classification for the college’s commitment to community engagement. College of the Canyons was the only community college in California to receive this distinction.

• A 2023 Champion Award for excelling in equitable course placement in English enrollment, Latinx English enrollment, and Black English enrollment.

2 College of the Canyons Commencement • May 31, 2024

• Recognition as one of the top two-year colleges in the nation for enrolling the largest number of Hispanic students in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.

• A 2022 Equity Champion Award for being one of California’s leading community colleges that support Latinx students on the associate degree for transfer pathway.

• One of America’s Best Colleges for Student Voting in 2020, 2021, and 2022 for inspiring students to vote and participate in community decisions.

• Champion of Higher Education awards for significantly increasing the number of students earning associate degrees for transfer in 2018, 2019, and 2021.

• The prestigious 2021 Bellwether Award for an innovative approach to assessment and course sequence redesign in English and mathematics, which paved the way for groundbreaking legislation benefitting community college students statewide.

• Completion rates that rank among the highest in California, and one of the top transfer institutions in Los Angeles County.

The college has also established a reputation for bolstering economic development and offering innovative career technical education programs that put students on the path to success.

College of the Canyons owes its success to an equally dynamic and historically supportive community, as well as the vision of college leadership to build the finest and most-innovative community college anywhere.

Exceeding Demands

As the college embarks on its new master plan, much of the focus turns to the Canyon Country campus, where a dramatic transformation has begun. The 55,000-square-foot Student Services & Learning Resources Center officially opened in 2023. It joins the similarly sized and designed Takeda Science Center, which opened in 2021 and was named for retired, longtime biology instructor Don Takeda. Located in the center of campus, the new buildings are separated by an expansive outdoor amphitheater.

Passage of the $230 million Measure E bond in 2016 is helping the college meet future needs, as well as leverage state resources for facilities at both campuses. The most recent project to be completed at the Valencia campus is a three-level parking structure. The structure opened in 2019 with 1,659 parking spaces, 53 of them with electric vehicle charging stations.

These and future facilities not only address the urgent needs of today, but they also signify a longstanding commitment by college leadership and the Board of Trustees to create the infrastructure necessary to provide relevant, cutting-edge educational and training programs well into the future.

Leadership Matters

Most of the college’s growth has occurred under the leadership of Chancellor Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook, who was hired in 1988. She has transformed the Valencia campus – and created an entirely new one in Canyon Country – to not only meet the community’s demands, but to anticipate the educational and training programs that will emerge in the future.

The college was composed of just eight buildings on a single campus when Dr. Van Hook took the helm. She immediately embarked on a major update of the educational and facilities master plan, a “roadmap” that guided a seemingly non-stop series of construction projects that dramatically altered the college landscape to meet the needs of soaring enrollment and new educational programs.

Today, the Valencia campus has been radically reshaped with 18 additional or expanded facilities that encompass approximately 1 million square feet. It was her vision that created an entirely new campus in Canyon Country to serve the educational and training needs of those living and working in the eastern Santa Clarita Valley.

Her leadership, imagination, tenacity, and commitment are responsible for the college adding facilities such as the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center, the Library and its subsequent expansion, Mentry Hall and its expansion, the Family Studies & Early Childhood Education Center, Pico Canyon Hall, Aliso Hall, Aliso Labs, Hasley Hall, the University Center, East Physical Education Building and adjacent tennis courts, TLC (The Learning Center), Canyons Hall, College

of the Canyons Institute for Culinary Education, and the parking structure at the Valencia campus; and the Takeda Science Center, Student Services & Learning Resources Center, and Applied Technology Education Center at the Canyon Country campus. The college also opened the interim Advanced Technology Center in late 2023 to provide hands-on technology training and help local companies stay at the forefront of their industries. Plans are under way to build a permanent facility with roughly twice the square footage. These state-of-the-art facilities have allowed the college to vastly expand the breadth and depth of its educational and training programs, as well as numerous services that augment them. Dr. Van Hook was instrumental as well in creating the University Center, home to a collection of public and private universities that offer advanced degree programs at the Valencia campus – eliminating the need for residents to commute long distances to obtain bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees, specialized certificates, and credentials. The facility also houses the William S. Hart Union High School District’s award-winning Academy of the Canyons and the college’s Workforce & Economic Advancement Division, among others. Because of her vision, passion and resolve in bringing the center to fruition, the Board of Trustees deemed it appropriate to name the building the Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook University Center.

Educational Expansion

The college’s academic and occupational offerings have grown significantly over the years. The college now offers 286 degree and certificate programs – 101 associate degree programs and 185 programs that lead to workforce training certificates. Academic programs are numerous and varied, ranging from animation to welding. Expanding transfer options are 32 associate degree programs that provide guaranteed transfer to the California State University system. Regardless of their chosen major, College of the Canyons students consistently obtain the knowledge and skills they need to launch high-paying careers or graduate prepared to continue their studies at four-year universities.

Access to Opportunities

Increasing opportunities even further is Canyons Promise, which pays college fees for new full-time students for two full years. The program allows students to achieve their educational goals by paying their enrollment and student service fees, and providing free computer lab printing, textbooks, and instructional supplies. Since launching in 2017, the program has served more than 5,300 students and saved them more than $4.4 million.

The college also has been a pioneer in adopting Open Educational Resources (OER) and Zero Textbook Costs (ZTC), terms that refer to textbooks and learning resources in the public domain. Students consistently point to the high cost of textbooks as a significant barrier to their educational goals. Most OER and ZTC textbooks are free, saving students an estimated $5 million annually.

Athletic Excellence

With an institutional philosophy to educate both the mind and body, the college provides outstanding opportunities with 17 intercollegiate athletic programs that compete in the Western State Conference and Southern California Football Association. The newest athletic program, women’s tennis, launched in 2018 and secured its first conference championship in 2022.

Intercollegiate achievements include three consecutive Western State Conference Supremacy Awards, which recognized the collective performance of College of the Canyons athletic programs from 2013 to 2016. The college is also home to golf coach Gary Peterson, the winningest coach in California Community College Athletic Association history, having led the men’s program to a record 11 state championships – the most recent coming earlier this month – and the women’s program to five state championships, the most recent being last year.

Innovative Partnerships

The college has designed and established numerous partnerships in both the public and private sectors that have redefined the traditional role of a community college.

Academy of the Canyons was established at the Valencia campus in partnership with the William S. Hart Union High School District in 2000. Based on a middle college high school model, it allows promising high school students to attend high school and college concurrently. The academy has been recognized with a National Blue-Ribbon Award that ranks it in the top 1 percent of high schools nationally.

More than 4,000 students have graduated from programs at the Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook University Center. Partner institutions include the University of La Verne, National University, California State University Dominguez Hills, and Arizona State University. Combined, they offer 24 bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, and credential programs.

Partnerships have helped private industry become more productive, efficient, and competitive while helping fuel the local economy. The Workforce & Economic Advancement Division, which includes the Small Business Development Center, Center for Applied Competitive Technologies, and Employee Training Institute, has helped numerous local businesses and employees. The division assisted 2,325 companies, secured $2.5 million in external revenue, served 5,131 individual employees, and counseled 1,031 entrepreneurs in 2022/23. It also helped corporate clients create 3,314 local jobs and grow sales by $4.5 million.

The college participates in dozens of partnerships to ensure that vital services such as health care, law enforcement, fire protection, and emergency medical response remain at the highest levels possible. Home to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s north training academy, the college also trains firefighters and emergency medical technicians.

A robust nursing program is augmented further by partnerships with regional hospitals that provide real-world training for students. The nursing program and its partnerships have helped the college make significant progress in alleviating the statewide shortage of trained nurses.

Finally, one of the college’s most important partnerships is the one with scholarship donors, whose generous support of the College of the Canyons Foundation Scholarship Program makes attending college a reality for so many deserving students. This year, 303 scholarships valued at $284,000 were awarded to students.

Gateway to Opportunity

College of the Canyons serves as a gateway to higher education, professional training and, by extension, opportunity. More than 300,000 people have attended the college since 1969. Many thousands have graduated, moved on to fouryear universities, pursued successful careers, and established themselves as successful professionals throughout the Santa Clarita Valley. In a testament to students’ experiences here, as well as the skills and knowledge gained, many have found their way back. Approximately half of the college’s staff members were once students at College of the Canyons.

The college will continue to thrive, expand access, enhance engagement, and support the success of students, businesses, and the community. “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it,” Dr. Van Hook is fond of saying. “And if you dream it, you can do it.”

College of the Canyons’ commitment to excellence is a tradition instilled by its innovative, results-oriented leadership. As the next chapters of its history are written, the outstanding foundation that has been laid will support future progress and achievements – and the college will continue to uphold the ideals of educational excellence while contributing to a vibrant, thriving community for many generations to come.
