The Long Beach City College Foundation would like to welcome Tanya Adolph as the new Director, Advancement and Campaigns. Tanya will be instrumental in the success of the “Funding Our Future” campaign. 

As an alumna of LBCC, Tanya brings a personal passion to her new position. Spending the past five years in development and alumni relations at USC, she also brings a wealth of fundraising experience.

Having transferred from LBCC, Tanya holds both a BA in History and MA in Sport Management from CSULB, and is currently pursuing her Doctor of Education at USC.

“I am very excited to be here,” smiled Tanya, “it’s like coming home.  I credit my time at LBCC as transformative in my life and am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to pay it forward in my hometown of Long Beach.”  Tanya will lead efforts with the President’s Circle, Giving Circles, and Alumni programs, while developing corporate and community relationships.  “Tanya has a passion for the mission and vision of LBCC and will be a great asset to the team,” pointed out Executive Director Paul Kaminski “she already knows the community landscape and understands the critical impacts of LBCC for its students and stakeholders alike.  We are excited to have Tanya here!”
