It was with great sadness that VCCCDRA learned of the passing of William H. Lawson, Bill to colleagues and friends in the district, on July 15, 2020.  Bill was a member of the 1967 founding administration at Moorpark College, hired as an Assistant Dean of Instruction, Vocational-Technical and Evening.  He served district students in his role at the district office as Assistant Chancellor of the Ventura County Community College, and then at Oxnard College as Dean of Vocation Education, Economic Development, Continuing Education, Disabled Students and Special Projects Administrator, until he retired in 1995.  Part of his responsibilities at each of the three locations was grant writing and in that capacity brought in thousands of dollars to support students and programs in technical fields.
