President’s Circle 3rd Annual Pizza & Putting Photos

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the President’s Circle 3rd Annual Pizza & Putting event on March 22, 2026.

From great conversation to a little friendly competition, it was a wonderful afternoon celebrating our shared commitment to supporting student success at College of the Desert.

We are especially grateful to our on-course caddies, Max and Mia Barroso; the Associated Students of College of the Desert (ASCOD) for bringing energy to the trivia contest; Student Body President and Trustee Juan Falcon for his leadership and support; and Shadow Mountain Golf Club and Piero’s PizzaVino for helping make the event such a memorable experience.

Congratulations to Team Liz Dick for taking home this year’s title.
