Accessibility to City College has shaped Alan and his family. As an immigrant, Alan’s father attended City College’s culinary program, allowing him to become a union hotel cook and sole provider for his family for two decades.
The City College classes Alan took as a teenager with a low-income tuition waiver helped him graduate early from UC San Diego when he was 19-years-old.
As a City Hall education policy advisor, he drafted and advanced the legislation that secured the current ‘Free City College’ program for a decade.
In his current role as City College Trustee, Alan passed the policy requiring multi-year budget planning and mandatory budget updates by City College to strengthen fiscal controls and sustainability.
As Trustee, Alan will continue working to ensure the long term sustainability of City College to serve future generations, provide job training and help students get degrees.
