March is Women's History Month

March is Women's History Month, a celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture, and society. This is a dedicated month to reflect on the often-overlooked contributions of women to United States history. From Abigail Adams to Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth to Rosa Parks, the timeline of women’s history milestones stretches back to the founding of the United States. Watch the video below to learn more about these trailblazers.

"We Ain't Crazy" Stimulus Comic Relief

Friday, Feb. 26 at 7 PM

Join us as we honor legendary African American comedians and also laugh with three of Sacramento’s finest stand-up comics, Steph Sanders, Tony Roberts, and Lance Woods.

The Black History Month “We Ain’t Crazy” Stimulus Comic Relief event has been designed to bring our community together for an evening of fun and laughter. We have all been impacted by the stressors of distance learning, being quarantined, mask-wearing, and the many social, political, and economic issues of the day. Humor is a great way to come together to relieve stress—and that’s no joke! Laughter soothes tension, oxygenates the body, improves the immune system, relieves pain, and strengthens communal bonds. It is Just what the doctor ordered!

Be sure to grab a refreshing beverage, some snacks, and get ready to laugh the evening away.

SCC & UC Davis Awarded $27,500 Grant to Boost Transfer Equity

Sacramento City College and the University of California, Davis, have been jointly awarded a two-year grant from the American Association of Community Colleges Equity Transfer Initiative to increase transfer rates among African American, Hispanic, and first-generation students.

SCC and UC Davis are uniquely poised to provide a direct pipeline and partnership for transfer given the longstanding relationship between the two institutions, which includes the Sacramento City College Davis Center on the UC Davis campus. On average, SCC has approximately 20,000 students enrolled during a normal Fall term. The student demographics reflect a diverse community with 33.1% of the students being Hispanic and 10% of the students being African American.

Working in close partnership with UC Davis, SCC will provide overall leadership for planning and managing projected targets and outcomes. The $27,500 grant will be used to create a path to successful transfer for African American, Hispanic, and first-generation students.

“Equity and anti-racism work are a priority at Sacramento City College,” said Sacramento City College President Michael Gutierrez. “Our executive team and the entire college are committed to African American/Black, Hispanic/Latinx, and first-generation student success, which includes improving the pathway for our students to transfer to top universities such as UC Davis.”

Telehealth/TimelyMD: Five Ways Students Can Cope with Stress

With midterms around the corner and dealing with the consequences of COVID-19, students are feeling more loneliness, stress, anxiety and depression. In fact, an overwhelming majority of college students (85%) are experiencing increased stress and/or anxiety during these difficult times. In these challenging circumstances, it’s essential that students are prepared with ways to cope with stress, anxiety and other mental health concerns.

Experts suggest students use these coping strategies to support mental health while away from campus.

Keep a normal routine. Students should keep a routine that mirrors what they would do if they were to continue their studies on campus. For example: wake up at the same time, keep a schedule for classes and studying, eat meals at a consistent time, and stay physically active.
Watch nutrition and diet. What and when we eat can have an impact on how we feel. Maintain nutrition by eating three meals per day and snacking in moderation. It can be easy to eat what you might consider “junk” food during this time, but avoid doing so as much as possible.
Take a break. Make time to do things beyond coursework and studying. Go outside to get some fresh air or go on a walk, while maintaining social distancing guidelines.
Stay connected with others. Make an effort to reach out and connect with family and friends on a daily basis. Using video calls for face-to-face conversations can help maintain your mental health.
Consider speaking with a mental health professional. If you’re experiencing stress and anxiety, find out what mental health resources are available through your school. Ask if virtual mental health services — like telehealth through TimelyMD — are available to you at no cost.

Licensed providers are available to diagnose non-emergent medical conditions, prescribe medications and offer mental health support via phone or secure video visits. Please visit SCC Telehealth if you are looking for someone to help you through these challenging times and check out all the resources our Health & Wellness services offer.
