Message from the President - October 2017

On September 28, the dedication of the Jack & Julie Nadel School of Business & Entrepreneurship at Santa Barbara City College was held on SBCC’s West Campus. The event included a private reception, a brief program, and a ribbon cutting for the newly remodeled lobby of the Business & Communications building.

Earlier this year, Julie Nadel and the Nadel Foundation pledged $1 million to the SBCC School of Business and Entrepreneurship, establishing an endowment fund to support, in perpetuity, the highest needs of the programs and initiatives of all academic disciplines that comprise the SBCC Business Division.

This incredibly generous gift will ensure Jack’s legacy lives on and will impart wisdom and inspiration to SBCC’s future entrepreneurs and business students. What a wonderful gift to the Santa Barbara community!
