CA Fire Relief
Our thoughts and prayers are with our faculty, students and staff who live up north, as well as those around the state who have been affected by the recent fires and particularly our colleagues at Napa Valley College and our CCCI partners at Santa Rosa Junior College.
SRJC has established a fund to help support those who have lost homes. Dr. Frank Chong, Superintendent/President, Santa Rosa Junior College, writes:
The situation at Santa Rosa Junior College and Sonoma County/Napa County is relentless and horrific. Much of the fire damage was near both of our Santa Rosa and Petaluma campuses. Thus far our campuses have been spared, but unfortunately, not our students and employees. At last count, over 200 students have lost their homes, as have more than 50 faculty, staff and administrators.
The SRJC Foundation has pledged $100,000 to provide our students and employees some support. We know that these funds will quickly run out as more students and employees come forward to report their losses.
You can donate online to the Santa Rosa Junior College fund for faculty, staff and students at:

As we hear about more specific needs from colleagues and students in the coming weeks, we will keep you posted.
