Boren’s worthy honor
Jim Boren was the distinguished Fresno City College alumnus at its 105th annual Commencement ceremony on May 22 May.
Mr. Boren graduated from Fresno City College in 1969. It was especially fitting that Mr. Boren was named the Distinguished Alumnus. Not only has he distinguished himself and Fresno with his excellent work over the decades in his field of journalism, he has also been an unflagging supporter of Fresno City College. Over the years he led The Bee’s stalwart and oft-stated support for the greatest historic preservation and restoration project in Fresno’s history, the restoration of the Old Administration Building at City College.
No worthier alumnus than Mr. Boren has ever received the award. Thank you.
Wendell Stephenson, philosophy instructor, Fresno City College
