@lbcitycollege Receives Historic $30 Million Gift

@lbcitycollege Receives Historic $30 Million Gift From Philanthropist.

The College received the gift in support of LBCC’s equity and racial justice work.

LBCC received the tremendously generous gift of $30 million from author and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. This is the single largest donation the College has received in its almost 95-year history, and one of largest single-donor gifts given to a California Community College.

The award was given in recognition of LBCC’s leadership and transformative work in responding to the College’s changing demographics, closing equity gaps and work in racial justice. LBCC also intensified its race conscious efforts and adopted the Long Beach Framework of Reconciliation in Support of the Black Community to address the College’s own institutional racism that may hinder students of color from success. These actions were in response to the protests that took place in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd and others in the Black community last summer.

Long Beach, CA - On June 9, 2021, the California D

Long Beach, CA - On June 9, 2021, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) issued new guidance for individuals for the use of masks for the prevention of spreading COVID-19. This updated guidance aligns with the masking guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and goes into effect on June 15, 2021.

“It’s important for workers and small businesses that we align our masking rules with the State,” said Mayor Robert Garcia. “We do not plan to have more stringent rules than set out by the CDC and the California Department of Public Health.”

Under the new CDPH guidance, fully vaccinated individuals are not required to wear a facial covering except in certain settings such as healthcare settings, on public transportation, including but not limited to airplanes, buses, taxis and ride-shares, and indoor in K-12 schools, childcare and other youth settings, and certain congregate living settings (eg. homeless shelters and detention facilities). The City of Long Beach will align with the State on all masking guidelines.

Facial coverings remain required for unvaccinated individuals in indoor public settings and businesses, including but not limited to restaurants, retail establishments and family entertainment centers.

The CDPH also set guidelines for mega events, characterized as indoor events with more than 5,000 people or outdoor events with more than 10,000 people.

Indoor mega events such as conventions, conferences, expos, sporting events and concerts must adhere to the following guidelines, in addition to the general public health recommendations:
Verification of fully vaccinated status or a pre-entry negative test result is required of all attendees.
Information will be prominently placed on all communications, including the reservation and ticketing systems, to ensure guests are aware of testing and vaccination requirements (including acceptable modes of verification).
