What's Happening?

It's Pride Month, Dolphins!


June is LGBTQ Pride Month. Coastline College is committed to visibility and inclusion as we celebrate with our LGBTQIA+ faculty, staff, managers, and students. Throughout the month, Coastline will raise the Progress Pride Flag at all campuses to show solidarity with our LGBTQIA+ Dolphin family.


Join us Monday, June 3th, at 1:30pm for the raising of the Progress Pride Flag at the Fountain Valley Student Services Center, and keep an eye out for more exciting events to come throughout the remainder of the month!
