Emma Mendoza is a believer when it comes to the opportunities that San Joaquin Valley College can provide.
After graduating from East Bakersfield High School, Mendoza began her career path at SJVC Bakersfield. The private junior college, which has 16 campuses, is like a second home to her.
Her sister is currently in the SJVC medical office administration program and her cousin is in the dental assistance program.
Now, 12 years after graduating from SJVC with an associates degree in business administration, Mendoza is the interim enrollment services director at SJVC Bakersfield.
She has been heavily involved in promoting and organizing an open house at the campus set for Wednesday night.
“I believe in what we have to offer for our community,” Mendoza said. “I’m a testimony to that.”
The open house is for those interested in seeking a career in five fields: pharmacy technology, veterinary assistance, medical office administration, dental assistance and medical assistance.
