Dr. Dianne Van Hook has a new title: chancellor, Santa Clarita Community College District and president, College of the Canyons. At a regular meeting of the Santa Clarita Community College District's Board of Trustees on Wednesday night, a joint meeting with the College of the Canyons Foundation Board, the new title was unveiled to a very appreciative crowd. This year marks Van Hook's 20th year as superintendent-president of College of the Canyons, a period that has seen incredible growth at the college and in the Santa Clarita Valley as a whole.

College of the Canyons also just boasted the largest graduating class in the school's history, with 1,255 students - a 9.4 percent growth since 2007.

Wine connoisseurs from across the valley were on hand to mingle, socialize and sample an impeccable array of vintage and current fine wines and gourmet cuisine from some of the area's finest restaurants and caterers at this year's SCV Wine Classic - prompting at least one guest to raise a glass in appreciation.
