Mt. San Jacinto College (MSJC) was named Large Business of the Year during the 44th Menifee Valley Chamber Awards Gala: Unlock the Secret Garden.
Vicki Carpenter, who represents Menifee as a trustee on the MSJC Board of Trustees, and Roger Schultz, Ph.D., superintendent/president of MSJC, accepted the award.
“This is such an honor to receive this award from our chamber,” said Carpenter. “We know MSJC is among a list of distinguished businesses in this community.”
Schultz said he is proud of the collaboration the college district has with the city, school district and businesses in the community. The Menifee Valley Campus has been serving the community since 1990 and has used facilities bond funds for a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics building, currently under construction, and athletics complex with classrooms and a 5,000-seat stadium, which is scheduled to open this fall.
“We love this community; we’ve grown with this community; and great things are still to come,” Schultz said, referencing the construction of the new facilities. “We are thrilled to receive this award from the Menifee Valley Chamber. Thank you.”
The chamber’s gala was held on Saturday, April 29, at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Menifee and was attended by guests from both private and public sectors.
