Welcome Back, Panthers! 
This semester started unlike so many others. Usually I’m walking through campus those first couple of weeks, taking the opportunity to talk to you and your fellow classmates. Today, I found myself taking a walk by our campus which remains closed due to COVID-19 and thought about how much we have changed as a community since March.

Together we are tackling online learning, trying out new technology and working to stay connected even while we are apart. As students you are finding new ways to build relationships with faculty, staff and classmates. I want you to know that while you may not see us on campus, you have hundreds of faculty and staff working every day to support you on your educational path this semester.

I encourage you to reach out to staff or faculty if at any time you need help or support. We are here for you! 

Stay safe, stay healthy, and have a great semester!

Hacker Lab Expands Access for Sac City Students
More Sacramento City College students will now be able to enjoy access to Hacker Lab equipment and resources as a result of a partnership between the two organizations.

The partnership will allow 100 SCC students to use the Hacker Lab. Hacker Lab access was previously limited to SCC students enrolled in at least 2 units of MAKR classes through the college, however for a limited time the Hacker Lab is expanding opportunities.

“We understand that SCC’s current Makerspace is unavailable to students because of the college’s COVID-19 closure so we want to do what we can to support them,” said Eric Ullrich, Hacker Lab COO. “We are excited about our ongoing partnership with SCC and look forward to working with students this fall.”
