Crafton Hills College is a community college located in the city of Yucaipa, east of San Bernardino, Since its opening on September 11, 1972 Crafton Hills College has served as a beacon for higher learning in the San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. Much of the college is built on land that Ruben and Lester Finklestein donated through their foundation The Finkelstein Foundations to Crafton Hills College. The original donation included 167 acres of land in 1966 with 76 acres more in 1970 and finally donating 251 acres of additional land. Crafton Hills College now serves approximately 6,200 students each semester with both evening and night classes. Students attending Crafton may choose to earn an associate’s degree, transfer to a four-year college or university or earn a career certificate that prepares them to enter the workforce. Crafton maintains strong programs in liberal arts, the sciences and performing arts. Crafton Hills offers 37 degree programs and 35 occupational certificate plans. The college is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the accrediting body for California and the Western Pacific. Cheryl A. Marshall, the college's current president, recently announced plans to introduce a bachelor's degree program in Emergency Services and Allied Health Systems, with other degrees (such as masters, doctorates and a Liberal Arts with teaching credential program) being added over time.〔(Crafton Hills Selected to Offer Bachelor's Degree in Pilot Program )〕〔(Crafton Hills College to offer four-year degrees )〕 In maintaining strong programs in the liberal arts and the performing arts, Crafton Hills College publishes the annual art and literature magazine ''The Sand Canyon Review''.

The committee reduced the fourteen sites down to four sites but one had a special appeal to it and that was that the land was offered up as a donation by Lester and Ruben Finkelstein through their charitable organization The Finkelstein foundation.
