WELCOME TO MADERA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, HOME OF THE MOUNTAIN LIONS! As the only college in Madera County (and with a campus in Oakhurst), we are proud to serve the Central Valley region. Our commitment is to the community and to your success. At the age of four, I migrated from Mexico to the United States and immediately started working in the fields. I worked as a migrant farm worker until I started college. My parents left school during their elementary school years to work the fields, but my mom always talked to me about the importance of getting an education. And my dad taught me the value of hard work. The youngest of seven children, I watched some of my siblings go to college. They paved the way for me. If you are the first in your family to go to college, don’t ever underestimate the power of the example you are setting for those around you! During college, I sometimes felt like I did not belong. Many of my professors did not look like me. It didn’t feel like there was a place for me. We at Madera Community College want each student we serve to feel welcomed and validated. I know my story may not be your story, but my own lived experience is what drives me to create a college where all students are supported – where everyone can succeed and has a voice. Let us know your goals. Tell us your story. We want to walk with you every step of the way. In closing, I want to extend a warm welcome on behalf of all the faculty, staff members and current students. At Madera Community College, there is a place for you. We look forward to being part of your college journey. Go Mountain Lions! Sincerely, COMMUNITY Ángel Reyna, President COLLEGE
