PROGRAM
This weeks program was presented by our very own Dr. Kevin Walthers, President of Allan Hancock College. AHC recently underwent extensive additions and improvements to the Santa Maria campus. Improvements included new buildings as well as technological upgrades to machinery and equipment needed to teach the very latest in subject lesson plans. The tour consisted of the Architecture Dept, Welding Dept, Automotive Dept. and the Viticulture Dept. The campus is very impressive and kudos go to the entire staff for helping make this community college a shining star on the central coast.
