President's Message

On behalf of our Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, and administrators, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to Long Beach City College.

I am very excited to be serving you, our students, as your Superintendent-President. After joining the college in 2018 as Vice President of Student Services, and serving as Interim Superintendent President in 2021, I was named to fill the post beginning January 1, 2022. I couldn't be honored to continue the opportunity to assist you in your journey in achieving your academic goals.

Learning and pursuing education has certainly changed since the Covid-19 pandemic initially closed our campuses in March 2020. But, one thing that didn’t change was our excellent programs and courses, taught by the finest faculty of any college, anywhere. The pandemic caused our faculty and staff to think outside the box to meet your needs as students and prepare you to meet the challenges of the 21st Century economy. As we move toward re-opening our campuses fully, while continuing to keep you safe by following evolving health and safety guidelines for COVID-19 and its variants, I guarantee that you will enjoy a very active and vibrant Student Life that will enrich your experience here at LBCC — whether virtually or in person. And our staff is always available to answer your questions, be they about registration, financial aid, issues of student equity, or other services to smooth and improve your learning pathway. 

Whether you are looking to transfer to a university, earn a degree, or earn a certificate, LBCC will help prepare you for success in all your career and life goals. For nearly a century, LBCC has been supporting our community and economy through the success of our graduates and alumni. We are so glad you have chosen to be part of that tradition. 

Go Vikings! 

Dr. Mike Muñoz 
Superintendent-President 
Long Beach Community College District
