Cafeteria Closed Beginning Aug. 9

Beginning tomorrow, Aug. 9, the cafeteria will be closed for the rest of the summer. It will reopen on Monday, Sept. 24. Don't forget to bring your lunch or make plans to go out with your colleagues!
Plastic Water Bottle Ban

If you need water for a campus event, please work with the cafeteria to order aluminum or boxed water instead of plastic bottles. This will help us stay consistent in our messaging throughout campus and help the environment as well! If you have any questions, please contact Brenda Davis-Visas at x7033.

Representatives of the four new governance committees (Equity and Education, Community and Communications, Revenue and Resources, and Council) will come together at the Governance Summit on Sept. 14 for training and to plan their calendar for the year. 

If you'd like to volunteer for a committee, please contact Anthony Cervantes
