Tom Lasser; California Army National Guard Col. Philip Butch; John Catlett, adjunct professor of business administration at the Los Alamitos campus; and Coast Guard Ensign Justin Brown, current Columbia College student and
Columbia College-Los Alamitos Alpha Sigma Lambda chapter president.  

“We are proud to be part of the Los Alamitos community,” said David. “Columbia College-Los Alamitos educates 175 military and civilian students each year, and we look forward to helping students pursue their career goals for years to come.”
