Dr. Virginia Baxter

Job Titles:
  • Vice President, Area 5
Dr. Virginia "Ginny" L. Baxter was one of those people who watched the Rose Parade on TV and said, "I'm moving to California." She said she ran away from home, Highland Park, Illinois, the legitimate way - she applied for admission to Occidental College in Los Angeles. She started her career at Long Beach City College (LBCC) in 1970 by teaching U.S. History after graduating from Occidental with a BA and MA in History. She was appointed as LBCC's Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, Women's Advisor in 1975. In 1983, she was asked to take over the reins of the LBCC Foundation. At that time there were assets of $500,000, with $50,000 being raised annually. She increased the assets to over $16 million, and for the past 25 years, helped raise more than $35 million for the Foundation. Last year alone, she raised almost $4 million for student scholarships, departmental grants, campus beautification and construction. In June, 2008 the Long Beach City College Foundation completed a year and a half major fundraising campaign to raise more than $6.3 million for an endowment for scholarships to fund the Long Beach Promise which provides a free first semester to every Long Beach area high school graduate. More than 4000 students have received the Long Beach College Promise tuition scholarships.
