Dear Friends,

Please join leaders from the San Mateo County Community College District (SMCCCD) and me for a virtual town hall as we celebrate the success of my 2022 bill, SB 893, which enabled a Free College pilot program in the county. We will also explore the future of higher education in San Mateo County.

  • Since 2022, there has been a 24% increase in enrollment in the district. This is three times the state average.
  • Over 33,500 unique students have benefited from the Free College program.
  • Free College reflects the diversity
