Five Presidents at Once
11/9/2005

Five presidents of Pierce College visited campus Nov. 8 as part of a celebration of the history of the college.  Incumbent President Dr. Thomas W. Oliver welcomed Rocky Young, now L.A. Community College District chancellor, Jack Fujimoto, Daniel Means
and Herbert Ravetch to a reception to honor the presidents as well as the history of the college.  "It is important to look back as we move forward. We are going through one of the great growing periods in the history of our college but we should never forget
the way it once was and those men and women who made this college what it has become," Oliver said.  Each former president spoke fondly of memories of Pierce and their time to lead the college.  Nearly 100 campus members dropped by to greet the
esteemed group.
