Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Sexual assault, also known as sexual violence, is one of the most serious, pervasive, yet underreported crimes in the world. According to the CDC, more than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have or will experience sexual violence during their lifetimes, yet only 12% of victims report the incident to the authorities.

Wednesday, April 27 has been designated Denim Day to raise awareness and support for survivors of sexual violence.

Los Rios' WEAVE Confidential Advocate is available to confidentially support or provide information to students or employees who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, or sexual harassment.

Revision to Enrollment Process

Students who take in-person classes or access on-campus services must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 or have an approved exemption on file. As part of our efforts to help reduce barriers for students to enroll in our colleges, Los Rios has revised the enrollment process for in-person classes to allow all students to enroll in in-person classes and provide proof of vaccination (or an approved exemption) prior to the start of classes. This change will take effect starting in Summer 2022, and any student who is not cleared two weeks before the start of the term will be dropped from their in-person classes.

This change will help more students get the classes they need and make progress on their academic goals, while still ensuring that our campuses are healthy and safe for all students, faculty, and staff.

If you are a student who wants to take an in-person class, make sure to act now and share your vaccination/exemption information in eServices. You will be dropped from your in-person summer class(es) if you don’t provide proof by May 23. For fall classes, you must provide proof by August 8 to avoid being dropped. Both of these dates are two weeks prior to the start of the semester.

Shout Out! 🎉

Congratulations to West Sacramento Dean Andrea Gaytan for being featured in the California Aggie in their feature recognizing influential women in the Davis community.

“Gaytan currently works with UC Davis and Sacramento City College on the California volunteer service grants project. She said that this project will connect students to volunteer opportunities with different nonprofit and public agencies in the sustainability, basic needs and K-12 education sectors. For their work, students would receive living stipends. Gaytan said that working on this project feels like a culminating moment in her career.”
