The MSJC Temecula Valley Campus holds the distinction of being the first permanent campus of higher education to serve Temecula, Murrieta and the surrounding communities. The Temecula Valley Campus was made possible by many supporters, including voters who approved facilities bond Measure AA in 2014.

We are honored to invite supporters like you to this one-hour business event and look forward to seeing you there.

The Temecula Valley Campus is located at 41888 Motor Car Parkway in Temecula.

For questions or to RSVP, please contact Jacqua Morrison in the MSJC Superintendent/President’s Office at jmorrison@msjc.edu.

The college and Local Car Scene are bringing back the popular event from 8 to 10 a.m. at the college’s newest campus at 41888 Motor Car Parkway, just off Ynez Road in Temecula. The first car show was held on July 11 and attracted a large audience to come look at the hot rods and classic cars that were featured.

“We were thrilled to partner with Local Car Scene and offer a family-friendly event at our newest campus before we open our doors to students on Aug. 16, the first day of our fall semester,” said Rebecca Orlauski, director of the MSJC Foundation, who worked with the car show group to host the event. “We know the MSJC Temecula Valley Campus is new to the community and we wanted to provide a unique and inviting opportunity for residents to be on our campus, get familiar with our location, and enjoy the car show. It was so popular, we knew we had to bring Local Car Scene back again.”

Together with generous donors and the MSJC Community, the MSJC Foundation works to support Mt. San Jacinto College students through scholarships and grants that aid students, faculty and support services.

The MSJC Foundation disbursed more than 374 scholarships, totaling $356,296, and 159 emergency scholarships totaling $41,750 to MSJC students in the 2020-2021 academic year. The Foundation also awarded 128 Chromebooks to students in need; 108 emergency bookstore accounts totaling $27,000; and 72 Help-A-Student Grants worth $18,000. Through the Finish Line Scholars Program, the Foundation was able to provide another $150,000 in emergency funding.

Mt. San Jacinto College (MSJC) and city officials gathered on  September 13, 2019, for the Temecula Transformation Celebration event to kick off the renovation of the new Temecula Valley Campus.

Temecula Mayor Mike Naggar praised the MSJC Board of Trustees, MSJC leadership, including Dr. Roger Schultz, college district superintendent/president, and city leaders, like City Manager Aaron Adams and Councilman Matt Rahn, for working on an innovative solution to bring higher education to the region.

Dr. Schultz thanked the city, the MSJC trustees and recognized the contractors: CW Driver, KPFF, and 19six, which recently won an award for renovation design.

Tom Ashley, the MSJC board member who represents Temecula and the surrounding region, said his son would be in the first class when the Temecula Valley Campus is fully renovated. He said he told his son how a transfer degree from MSJC would get him into a four-year university. 

“That conversation now gets to happen with thousands of our local residents, like look what’s here. You can go here now” because of the new campus, Ashley said. 

The college district used voter-approved Measure AA funds on March 16, 2018, to purchase two five-story office buildings at 41888 Motorcar Parkway in Temecula. Buying an existing facility saves taxpayer dollars and expedites the District’s ability to provide access to quality higher education much sooner than needed for new construction. Since the purchase, MSJC provided time for the seller to move out, started work on infrastructure, and sought proposals for renovation to meet the Division of State Architect requirements.
The Temecula Valley Campus welcomes students in Fall 2020. 

The campus will provide 22 classrooms, six science labs, and five computer classrooms. It will also offer a Learning Resource Center, Library, Student Life, Health Center, and Veterans Center. Student Services – including enrollment, counseling, and financial aid will be included. The campus also will feature a bookstore, café, art studio, career center, transfer center, and campus safety.

Rachel Abelgas, a Murrieta resident who graduated from MSJC in May and served as a student speaker at the MSJC Commencement ceremony, made it a point to attend Friday’s event.

“The Temecula Valley Campus is a great opportunity for incoming students because it’s closer to where they live,” she said. “I wish it was here when I went to school so I wouldn’t have always had to drive to the Menifee Valley Campus. But that’s OK. I am very glad it’s here.”

Mt. San Jacinto College serves about 27,000 students in a district covering 1,700 square miles from the San Gorgonio Pass to Temecula, with campuses in San Jacinto, Menifee, Banning and Temecula. 

In May 2019, Mt. San Jacinto College awarded a record-breaking 3,314 degrees and certificates to 1,707 graduates.
Have a wonderful day, and please follow MSJC on social media – Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
