West Valley College Anniversary

Campus and community needs have changed dramatically over past 35 years

When West Valley College first opened its doors 35 years ago, it was a much simpler time. In the '60s, computers hadn't taken over every aspect of people's lives. No one had even heard of Y2K, and Java was just another name for coffee. Teachers at local colleges still wore suits and students went straight from high school to college. But times have changed, especially at West Valley College. Now computer lingo has been integrated into everyone's lives; Java is a computer language, and many people fear the Y2K bug will create havoc on Jan. 1, 2000. Along with the technology have come changes in the school's demographics and atmosphere.   More
