Put Student Success First
Every decision at Rio Hondo College should begin with one priority: helping students succeed.
Your Voice. Your College. Our Future.
Dr. Urteaga's Vision for Student Success
Drawing on more than 15 years as a university professor, decades of community leadership, and extensive experience managing successful businesses, Dr. Urteaga is dedicated to bringing transparent leadership, fiscal responsibility, and a student-first approach to the Rio Hondo College Board of Trustees.
Restore Transparency, Accountability & Fiscal Responsibility
Rio Hondo College belongs to the students and communities it serves. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being spent and students deserve leadership focused on their interests, not special interests.
Protect Taxpayers & Deliver on Measure RH
Voters entrusted Rio Hondo College with $442 million through Measure RH in 2024 to improve the College. Every dollar must be accounted for and every project must deliver results.
Expand Career Education & Workforce Opportunities
Rio Hondo College should be one of our region's strongest pathways from education to a good-paying career.
Strengthen Our College & Community
Rio Hondo College should be a source of opportunity and pride for the entire community.
