Giving Thanks for Giving Tuesday
Nearly $25,000 was raised for Los Rios students during Giving Tuesday this year! Thanks to generous donations from across the district, the Los Rios Colleges Foundation raised an incredible $24,910, far surpassing our goal of $15,000. These funds mean that many of our most vulnerable students will have the support they need this holiday season through Los Rios Cares. Under the Cares programs at the colleges, students have access to services such as the Emergency Hotel Program, the Student Emergency Fund, textbook scholarships, our food pantries and so much more.Thank you for making the season brighter for our students.

Library Links are Changing
The SCC Library is changing the way it provides off-campus access to many library resources. We’ve done a lot of updating behind the scenes already, but you will need to take action if you’re sharing links to certain types of library material in Canvas, your syllabus, or other course materials.
We will have a redirect in place temporarily, but you will need to update your links to ensure students continue to have access. If you are adjunct faculty teaching at multiple Los Rios colleges, it’s also important that you update your links with college-specific information.
For more information and a handy tool to convert your links, please visit our page, How will library links be changing over winter break?
