"I had some friends from Redding who told me about Shasta College, so I nervously applied when I graduated from high school. On top of a fantastic coaching staff, Shasta College has a lot to offer. My English class is one of my favorites, and I’m a part of the Umoja program, which gave me a sense of belonging and community. After I graduate, I would like to transfer to a 4-year university and major in psychology and minor in communications and sociology. Everybody at Shasta College has made me feel like I’m an important member of this community." Da'Mario Shasta College Knight

His concerns with the change remain rooted in the outdoor world, but quickly expanded to include human prosperity. He became active in the fossil fuel divestment movement at Stanford and now is a member of North State Climate Action.

Pete Marsh served 35 years in the U.S. Coast Guard and defense contracting industry.
