Humans of Mt. SAC
Mt. San Antonio College has always been more than a college or a campus. It’s a community. Humans of Mt. SAC focuses on members of that community, creating a space for them to tell us their journey to, at, and maybe even after Mt. SAC. If you’ve ever spent a minute at Mt. SAC, you know that everyone here has a story, and we can’t wait to tell as many as we can. If you have a story you think we should hear - or know someone who does - send an e-mail with the subject line “Humans of Mt. SAC” to foundation@mtsac.edu.

Douglas Craven
Douglas Craven’s relationship with Mt. SAC began in the early 1990s, when he was first a student here. After a career path that included funeral homes and big rigs, he found himself back and ready to pursue his dream: teaching. Being back at Mt. SAC after thirty years was eye-opening for Douglas, and he found himself invigorated by all the new perspectives he learned from his classmates, many of whom were decades younger than him.
