they begin their 2002-2003 season.
Our basketball players have dual roles as athletes and as students. At MPC we are committed to
the success of our players on the court as well as in the classroom. Head basketball coach, Blake
Spiering, embodies this commitment. He is keenly interested in the academic endeavors of his

This basketball season will be an exciting one and I look forward to watching our players in
action. Please join me in supporting and cheering on our team. Go Lobos!

Welcome!
Monterey Peninsula College is proud of its Men’s Basketball Program and the success they have
achieved on and off the court.

play an aggressive in your face defense and will push the ball up the floor on offense. You can
look forward to entertaining, fast paced basketball.
At Monterey Peninsula College we strive for our student athletes to have success on the court and
in the classroom. Many of our participants have gone on to compete in basketball and complete
their education at four-your institutions. This season will be no different.
Many people work together to make this opportunity possible. The MPC administration, faculty
and staff, including our President, Dr. Kirk Avery, and the Board of Trustees are very supportive
of the athletic program. We rely on the athletic staff members pictured in this program to work
together to enhance each athlete’s experience.

Thank you for your support of this effort.

HISTORY
Monterey Peninsula College commenced its operation in September of 1947 on the campus of
Monterey High School, holding classes from 4 to 10 p.m. daily. During this first year 87 acres
4
of land were purchased on Fremont Street. The following September classes opened in converted
barracks buildings with 280 students and 20 faculty members. The campus was originally designed
for approximately1,000 students, but by 1957 the enrollment had approached this figure and it
was evident that new buildings were necessary. The engineering building was constructed in 1958,
the library in 1960, and the art and music center and swimming pool in 1962.The junior college
separated from the Monterey Union High School District in 1961 and became a separate junior
college district. With this reorganization, the Carmel Unified School District became part of the
Peninsula-wide junior college district. The student population continued to grow as well as the
need for additional classrooms. In 1965 the building program was renewed, and the “temporary”
buildings of 1948 were replaced with new buildings for business, humanities, life science,
physical education, physical science and social science. The lecture forum, the college theater,
and the college center were part of this campus renewal. In 1973, the college began operating a
satellite campus at Fort Ord in cooperation with the U.S. Army primarily for the benefit of Armed
Forces personnel and their family members. In 1982-83, Monterey Peninsula College was selected
as the site for the Maurine Church Coburn School of Nursing, established with a grant from the
Maurine Church Coburn Charitable Trust under the leadership of Milton C. Coburn. The school
is operated through proceeds from that grant administered by the Community Hospital
Foundation, which owns and operates Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula and the
Community Hospital Recovery Center. During August, 1988, the engineering building was
remodeled with funds from the Community Hospital Foundation to house the School of Nursing.
Monterey Peninsula College is part of California’s public community college system of 108
campuses in
72 districts across the state. It is a comprehensive community college that responds to the
educational, cultural, and recreational needs of community members, insofar as its resources
permit. The college serves the communities of Big Sur, Carmel, Carmel Valley, Del Rey Oaks,
Marina, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Presidio of Monterey Annex, Sand City, and
Seaside. Monterey Peninsula College classes are held on the main campus during Fall and
Spring semesters, Early Spring, and Summer sessions.
