This year has been one of transformation, impact, and momentum at Coalinga College, and we’re proud of every step forward.
We celebrated a record-breaking graduating class, were named an Achieving the Dream Leader College, and earned Silver in the Fresno Bee’s People’s Choice Awards for Best College/University. Each of these honors reflects the hard work of our students, faculty, staff, and the broader community that believes in what we’re building here.
Our Falcon athletes continue to show what dedication and heart look like, competing with pride in the rodeo arena, on the court, and the field. Across both the Coalinga campus and Firebaugh Center, students are gaining hands-on experience in healthcare, building skills in labs, and taking part in innovative programs like our F3 AgTEC initiative, which celebrated its first-ever recognition ceremony cohort this year, empowering students from farmworker families to pursue high-demand careers in ag technology.
We’ve strengthened student support, expanded access, and deepened our community partnerships—because at Coalinga College, we know our mission is bigger than a degree. It’s about transforming lives, building opportunity, and uplifting the communities we serve.
We’re proud of how far we’ve come and even more excited for what’s ahead.
With Falcon Pride,
Dr. Carla Tweed
