Timeline of Silicon Valley College (as far as I can figure out)

Timeline of Silicon Valley College

Note

Not to be confused with Silicon Valley University (which was shut-down abruptly in 2018) nor University of Silicon Valley which still exists, but is unrelated.

I attended Silicon Valley College at 6201 San Ignacio Blvd., San Jose, CA 95119 from September 2001 until November 2003 when I completed my final class. I was the student speaker for the Graphic Design program at that year's graduation ceremony in May 2004.

This is a timeline of events — as best as I can put together — of what happened to Silicon Valley College since that time.
