48th Annual Americana Awards

Dear Friends of Cypress College,

Thank you for your generous support of Cypress College students during the 48th Annual Americana Awards!

Your gifts through the silent and live auctions and fund-a-need make a lasting impact on our students like our Americana speaker Alexandra Rojas.

Congratulations to our Person of the Year Liz Dunster and all of our honorees! You can view their videos below along with our Americana Photo Gallery.

Our students need your help. Please make a direct contribution to help students like Alexandra through Fund-A-Need and the Americana Honoree Scholarship.

With gratitude,

Cypress College Foundation Board & Staff
