A Student Life Bulletin from the Office of Student Affairs & Engagement Programs
 
Post Election Forums, #SafetyPinNation
Dear SRJC Student,
 
All of you are aware that an historic election took place last Tuesday. We know that students may be experiencing strong feelings and opinions regarding the outcome of this election. Making sense of the election results is something we must do as a learning community in a respectful, kind and civil way. We don't have to agree with each other to respect each other's differences.
 
SRJC is committed to serving our diverse communities with honesty, integrity, and mutual respect. This includes providing a safe, welcoming environment for all of our students.
 
The college has organized some initial forums so that critical discussions can take place. A listing of these forums is below.
  • To speak with someone about your post-election anxiety, you can visit Student Psychological Services; click here  for hours, location and contact information on both campuses.
  • For tips on managing post-election stress, click here: JED Foundation.
  • For questions about what you can do to support your fellow students, contact: Student Affairs, Santa Rosa 707.527.4424 and Petaluma 707.778.4141.
The college is dedicated to continuing our work regardless of the outcome of any single election. It is as important as ever that we reach out to all who want to improve their lives through education. We are proud to be part of the California Community College system, which shares our goals. Please click here  to read the California Community College Chancellor's comments.
 
Sincerely,
Dr. Frank Chong
Superintendent/President
Santa Rosa Junior College
