Río Hondo Community College District Board Confirms 2026 Officers at Annual Organizational Meeting

Posted on December 16, 2025 by Río Hondo College | Category: College News

At its annual organizational meeting on December 10, the College’s Board of Trustees selected the officers who will serve during the 2026 calendar year. The College proudly congratulates the Trustees on their new roles:

  • Rosaelva Lomeli (Trustee Area 3) – President
  • Yarisma Rocha (Trustee Area 2) – Vice President
  • Kristal Orozco (Trustee Area 4) – Clerk
  • Anais Medina Diaz (Trustee Area 1) – Member
  • Oscar Valladares (Trustee Area 5) – Member

The Board’s renewed leadership team reflects a continued commitment to supporting student success, equity and educational excellence at Río Hondo College.

Working closely with Superintendent/President Teresa Dreyfuss, the Board provides direction that helps the College advance key institutional priorities and ensure students have the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.

Transforming Campus Facilities Through Measure RH

The Board also plays a vital role in overseeing Measure RH, the voter-approved bond that is modernizing and transforming campus facilities. Measure RH projects, including new academic spaces, upgraded infrastructure and enhanced student-centered buildings, are creating state-of-the-art environments designed to elevate learning and expand access to high-quality educational opportunities.

Río Hondo College extends its sincere appreciation to the Board of Trustees for their leadership and service. Their guidance continues to shape a stronger, more resilient College for the communities we serve.

Congratulations once again to the 2026 Board Officers!

Notice of Public Hearings

Dear Río Hondo College Community,

Canvas is currently inaccessible due to an ongoing issue affecting Instructure, the parent company of Canvas. Out of an abundance of caution, access to Canvas has been temporarily suspended while the situation is being addressed.

Students and employees are advised to:

  • Avoid attempting to log into Canvas until further notice.
  • Do NOT download or open any file if prompted after navigating to the Canvas login page.

Río Hondo College is actively monitoring the situation and working closely with Instructure to receive updates and support instructional continuity. We understand the disruption this may cause to our campus community and appreciate your patience and understanding. Additional updates will be shared as more information becomes available.

Sincerely,
Information Technology Services Río Hondo College

Dear Río Hondo College Community,

We are pleased to report that the water main break has been repaired and water service has been fully restored to our main campus.  All in-person classes and on-campus activities will resume as scheduled effective Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at 6:00 a.m.  We appreciate the Rio team and our partners at the San Gabriel Valley Water Co. for their tremendous work.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.  Please address any questions to Campus Police at 562-908-3490.

We look forward to seeing you back on campus!
