"Remember your community college because it's your foundation!" We are honored by these words from Mr. Joe Salazar, Class of 1967, who along with his wife, Teresa, live these words through action as legacy donors. They have been long-time supporters of the Mr. and Mrs. John Joe and Roberta Cory Salazar Endowed Scholarship. The Salazar’s bequest will have a lasting impact on our students today and in perpetuity. Their planned gift to the KCKCC Foundation ensures their legacy lives on and supports future sustainability and growth.
