It is with great sadness that VCCCDRA has learned of the passing of our colleague, Yvonne Bodle Mason. We, in the district, knew her as a valued colleague, professor of accounting, director of financial aid and Vice President of Instruction, at Ventura College. But colleagues around the state knew her as a member of the Community College Board of Governors and of the California State Teachers Retirement Board.
Yvonne was a local, having graduated from Oxnard High School and Ventura College. She earned a bachelors degree in educational administration from San Jose State University, a masters degree from Colombia University, and a Ph.D. in policy and organizational studies from University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).
Due to the current health crisis, services have been postponed. To plant Memorial Trees in her memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
