Celebrating 60 years of 'San Joaquin 188bet备用网址 College'
June 28, 2023
Saturday, July 1 marks the when the institution separated from Stockton Unified School District and charted its own course as an independent community college.
If the original SJDC logo (pictured above) is any indication, then we've come a long way since those days on the campus of College of the Pacific. Here's a look back at the 188bet备用网址 College of 1963.
The Collegian trumpets the news of the name change from Stockton College to San Joaquin 188bet备用网址 College.
