About Adrienne
Campbell and San Jose voters: Thank You for allowing me to serve as your College Trustee.
I ask for your vote so I may continue safeguarding the educational opportunities West Valley College and Mission College provide.
Careful fiscal stewardship and dedication to equity and social justice enable our colleges to expand student access and success. WVM funds:
- Free tuition, parking, health services, and childcare
- Dual enrollment partnerships with local high schools
- Innovative career pathways.
Through community focused outreach, we welcome students at every life and career stage, providing personalized and effective educational results employers value and our communities deserve.
After nine years on California Community College Trustees (CCCT), a statewide elected board, including past CCCT President and Board Chair for Community College League of California, I lead a team that teaches trustees how to champion equal employment opportunity and student equity-mindedness. My priorities:
- Removing every possible barrier to student access, persistence and success
- Integrating best practices in diversity, equity, and inclusion into every aspect of our institution
- Institutional preparedness for how AI is changing education and ways to use it to benefit workers and students
- Advocating for state, federal and private funds to make college success attainable for every student and every family.
As a teen runaway who never finished high school, community college got me back on track and equipped me for a rewarding career. Gratitude drives me to give back by protecting this precious shared resource.

Governor Signs Historic Free College Bill for WVMCCD into Law, Expanding Access to Thousands
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 PRESS RELEASE
SACRAMENTO – This weekend, Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 3158 into law, marking a major victory for students in the West Valley-Mission Community College District (WVMCCD). The groundbreaking legislation, authored by Assemblymember Marc Berman (D-Menlo Park), grants WVMCCD the ability to waive tuition fees for all residents living within its service area, expanding access to higher education and removing financial barriers for thousands.
Assemblymember Marc Berman, author of AB 3158, reaffirmed his commitment to supporting local students: “The passage of AB 3158 is a huge win for all students of the West Valley-Mission Community College District and I am grateful to Governor Newsom for his signature to guarantee free tuition for thousands of local students,” said Assemblymember Marc Berman. “Two-thirds of California’s community college students struggle with basic needs insecurities such as food and housing, a reality mirrored in West Valley-Mission Community College District’s student population. This new law will ensure students don’t have to choose between taking the extra class they need to graduate or working an extra shift so they can afford groceries or pay rent. I applaud the leadership at West Valley-Mission Community College District for doing everything they can to support their students as they achieve their higher education dreams.”

Trustee Adrienne Grey emphasized the importance of expanding access to a diverse range of students: “Community colleges serve students from all walks of life, many of whom don’t fit into the traditional college mold. This bill opens doors for people retooling their careers, balancing family responsibilities, or lacking the support to navigate complex financial aid forms. It’s a vital step toward ensuring equity in education and making sure no one is left behind.”
