A new chapter for Río Hondo College! 💛🖤

From the installation of Don Moya-Miller, Ph.D., as Superintendent/President on Oct. 1 to our Open House and Community Celebration on Oct. 3, we came together to celebrate leadership, connection and the bright future ahead.

Thank you to our students, faculty, staff, Board of Trustees and community members who made these special moments possible. Together, we continue building a college where everyone belongs and every student has the opportunity to succeed. This celebration brought that vision to life as we opened our campus and came together as one community.

We’re proud to be Roadrunners, and we’re excited for what’s ahead!
