The San Bernardino Community College District (SBCCD) Board of Trustees installed newly elected student trustees Christopher Walsh from Crafton Hills College and Jaime Sanchez from San Bernardino Valley College. Board Vice President Dr. Donald Singer swore in the two students at the Board's regularly scheduled meeting on June 16. 

SBCCD Chancellor Bruce Baron said, “Serving on the Board of Trustees provides both students with the opportunity to learn first-hand about balancing the needs of their various constituency groups against the constraints of the state budget. Previous student trustees have identified specific issues that their electorates were interested in, have researched those issues, and proffered policies and procedures that the Board has taken very seriously, such as the non-smoking enforcement policy this past year. We look forward to working with both Student Trustees and to providing them with an in-depth learning experience.”
