What gives with you leaving?
By Priscilla Mora
The road rises
each breath filling the moment
until it is large and beyond description
How does one say goodbye
or thank you
or really, you were kind, you were generous,
you were teacherly
you believed in people in ways big and small
And so
we breathe in
and out
the future one of
uncertainty
possibility
misdirection
This place you made,
the space held in the reservoirs of learning,
the place lives like a warm ocean
alive, well, full of love's embrace
stuttering into the future with wide arms

Do you know about the SBCC Legacy Project? It is an online collection of first-person histories that tell the story of Santa Barbara City College from the mid-twentieth century to the present. The site features the memoirs of people associated with the college, both written and through videos, as well as the beginnings of a photo gallery.
The Legacy Project is a work in progress. We hope to add new photos, memoirs and videos of others as they reflect on their association with SBCC.
Visit the SBCC Legacy Project site.
As you look back on your years at SBCC, think about contributing to the Legacy Project. We invite new submissions. Anyone associated with the college during this period who is interested in participating in this project should contact the Office of Communications at marketing@sbcc.edu.
