Mt San Antonio College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Mt. San Antonio College (commonly called Mt. SAC; pronounced as the word "sack") is a community college located in the Los Angeles suburb of Walnut, California, next to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona which is just over a hill.

Mt. SAC was founded in 1946 as a part of the 109 member California Community Colleges system with some of its older buildings having served as part of a small military hospital complex up until WWII. It is the largest single-campus district with more than 27,000 (Fall 2006) full-time equivalent credit enrolled students, with a total enrollment of more than 40,000 (Fall 2006), exceeding even that of many of the nation's largest universities. The current president of the college is Dr. John S. Nixon, who joined the college in 2004. Its most recent past president is Dr. Christopher C. O'Hearn.

Overview

The school has new state-of-the-art science classroom and laboratory facilities, outstanding music, dance, and theater building, multi-media/internet conntected classrooms, a new, modern baseball complex considered the best college baseball complex in California, a football field, a putting green, soccer field, and is, of course, home of the world famous Mt. SAC Relays. It has an Olympic size swimming pool, tennis courts, and an equestrian range. The school also has a 15 acre Wildlife Sanctuary that supports a large variety of native species of birds, mammals, and insects. It consists of a lake, swamp, stream, pond, meadow, and forested area. It is one of the last "safe" places for nature to exist in Walnut due to over-development and over-population. Tours are given mainly to grade school children but are available to the public (minimum 15 people) if you contact the school and ask when Wildlife Sanctuary tours are available (909-594-5611). Also of interest, is the school planetarium (a very unique feature for any college) which is currently part of a remodeling project, along with the building it is adjacent to. There are more projects in progress the latest being a modern Agricultural Sciences complex set to begin construction. More projects are also expected in the next few years as funds from a recently voter approved measure come in. Located on campus are a campus cafe, "Common Grounds" cafe (which serves Starbucks coffee, and a Carl's Jr. restaurant). Mt. SAC also boasts a nationally recognized aviation and aircraft maintenance program. In many respects, it has the wide accommodation and mammoth size one would expect at a larger four-year establishment. The school already has programs in partnership with four-year schools to which students can arrange to receive a bachelor degree.
