Bonnie Cooper is the secretary to the Chairperson of the Fine Arts Division. She has worked in a hospital, a bank, a toy manufacturer, an engineering firm, and owned a country store. In 1989, immediately prior to her joining the staff at the College, she was a fulltime student and has completed an Associate in Arts degree. She loves working with the students, staff, and faculty alike, and believes the diversity of ethnicities, and the age and energy of the students keeps us all young.

Raised in a military family, Mrs. Cooper was born in the South, lived on the East and West coasts, and Germany. She and her husband, Gene, have lived in Stockton for many years. They enjoy the outdoors, traveling (especially visiting family in Texas and Tennessee), and keeping up with the grandchildren.
