The campus will not be open for university business on Wednesday, June 19 in observance 关于假期.
Our campus community is commemorating Juneteenth in a number of ways, including participating in the California State University (CSU) System second biennial 六月节研讨会 being held June 13-14, 2024 in Sacramento. The 2024 六月节研讨会 is designed to elevate the celebration and recognition of African American history and achievement while promoting and sustaining the anti-racism work underway across the CSU’s 23 campuses. 菠菜网lol正规平台 is sending a delegation of more than 25 students, faculty, staff, alumni, and local community members to attend the symposium in person.
