Dr. Blas Villalobos (LBCC class of 2006) understands the importance of community. Born in Chihuahua, Mexico and raised in Denver City (West Texas), Dr. Villalobos entered the U.S. Marines Corps in 1999 to give back and, as he describes it, “earn his place in America.” When he left the Marines in 2003 after serving honorably, he moved home before returning to Long Beach with aspirations of attending classes at LBCC.

Bess J. Hodges Foundation

The Bess Hodges Foundation is the perfect example of how community institutions help support our students. Founded in 1984 by Bess Hodges and George Murchison, the Bess Hodges Foundation sought to enhance the community by supporting education, health, human services, public affairs, and the arts. In the beginning, the Hodges Foundation supported a scholarship for Long Beach City College accounting students, giving $500 in each half of the year. Each year, they receive approximately 80 grant requests, and are able to fund 65-70 of those requests.
