“Graduating from Mt. SAC gives me opportunities that I would not have had otherwise. I can double major and study abroad because I was able to finish nearly two years’ worth of units.” – Jaytin Sampat

“I fought through the hardest moments of my life with the support of Mt. SAC staff members and the education they have provided. Coming to Mt. SAC has made me value getting an education so much more.” – Priyanka Ghotra

“Some of my favorite things were the long hours of studying, reading, and putting together presentations. I found great joy in the process of labor because at Mt. SAC I saw the fruits of that labor immediately.” - Max McCarthy Neal
