Celebrate PRIDE Month

June is Pride Month. This month-long celebration demonstrates how Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Americans have strengthened our country by using their talent and creativity to help create awareness and goodwill. The history and legacy of LGBTQ individuals can be explored on the Library of Congress website.

Parking Update

Los Rios will not be selling semester or daily student parking permits for Summer 2023. This means students will not be ticketed for a lack of permit during the term if they park in designated student parking.

The current staff parking decals/permits expired on June 1, 2023. The new decals have been ordered but are delayed. As a result, LRPD will not enforce staff parking areas for the summer session, but all other parking regulations will be enforced (i.e., red zones, timed zones, disabled parking, etc.). When the new permits arrive, LRPD will send out an email on the process for picking up the new permits.

Please Note: Student parking permits will be sold for Fall 2023. Los Rios was able to temporarily waive parking fees during the pandemic using federal relief funding. Because those funds are no longer available, parking fees will be reinstated after the summer session. All parking fees are used to support parking infrastructure, maintenance, and services.

Emergency Resources

To ensure you receive critical emergency notifications, make sure your contact information is up-to-date. Login to Employee Self Service, click “Employee Information,” and then “Emergency Alert Information.” You will then be able to update your information including your cell phone number and non-work email.

Also, check out the Los Rios Police Department website for Emergency Procedures, including what to do if a shelter-in-place happens on campus.

Website Updates and Publicity

Do you need to update your hours of operation, change some service information, or share the word about an event or great story?

You can get support from the communications team by completing the Marketing and Website Support Request form! Help us keep information flowing by reviewing your pages for accurate information and sharing things you think the campus community should hear.

Jobs and Internships on Handshake

Encourage students to activate or update their profile and resume in Handshake, the online career search platform where Los Rios students and alumni can find job, internship, and volunteer opportunities, and can sign-up for virtual career fairs, online workshops, and employer events.
