Celebrating Family, Legacy, and Community at CCC
Contra Costa College has always been more than a campus. It is a community. For over 75 years, CCC has welcomed students from all backgrounds. In some families, CCC has become a tradition, with parents, children, and even grandchildren studying or working here.
The Generational Connections series, curated by Ellen Geringer, honors those families whose stories are deeply tied to the college. Through interviews and archival images, each feature highlights the unique experiences and shared legacies that help shape our campus culture.
This project would not be possible without the many families who generously shared their memories, perspectives, and time. We thank them for helping us celebrate what makes CCC a place of belonging.
