☀ This solar farm project is expected to make Crafton Hills College a net zero energy campus by producing 100% of its energy needs. Thank you to our local community for supporting Measure CC: This project is made possible by Measure CC, a $470 million bond initiative approved by local voters in 2018 to modernize and enhance facilities at Crafton Hills College and San Bernardino Valley College. The Board of Trustees approved the solar farm’s construction in October 2021, reflecting SBCCD’s commitment to a sustainable future.

𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 Crafton Hills College (CHC) has received a $15,000 grant from Bank of America to support its Training First Responders project and Crafton Roadrunners pursuing degrees or certificates in public safety and allied health programs. “The funding from Bank of America will help reduce financial burdens for many of our students so they can focus on their studies and achieve their academic and professional goals without the worry of how much the program will cost,” said CHC President Kevin Horan. “We are deeply grateful for Bank of America’s commitment to education and their investments in our community.” CHC’s Training First Responders project aims to provide financial support to students studying to become paramedics, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), firefighters and members of other emergency health professions. Every academic year, hundreds of students apply for admission to CHC’s first-responder programs. Many experience financial challenges that might prevent them from completing coursework requirements. Grants from the private sector help cover a myriad of expenses, such as the cost of course materials and fees for state testing, licensing, and certifications. “One of the biggest challenges to the economic future of the Inland Empire continues to be the education gap, as employers and the growing jobs sector struggle to hire workers with necessary skills and educational background,” said Bansree Parikh, Bank of America Inland Empire president. “Crafton Hills College is an important partner in providing specialized skills training to help prepare the next generation of specialists in high-demand careers.” Student scholarships are distributed through the Crafton Hills College Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing the educational career and personal success of CHC’s diverse campus community.
