New On-Campus Dining Service Partner Starts this Fall

Following Los Rios’ detailed planning and procurement process that gathered feedback from all colleges and constituency groups, we are excited to announce that Pacific Dining has been selected as our new on-campus food service partner. The Pacific Dining team has begun preparations to start operations to provide limited food service at American River, Folsom Lake, and Sacramento City Colleges for the Fall 2023 semester. Due to an ongoing kitchen renovation project at Cosumnes River College, the dining program will not begin operations immediately, but CRC’s administration and Pacific Dining are exploring ways to deliver limited food services with more information to be provided in the fall.

ARC TRIO ETS Program - Most Valued Partner

The ARC TRIO ETS program was recently recognized by the San Juan District as one of their Most Valued Partners! 

This year, TRIO ETS recruited 490 students into our program. Those middle and high school students were able to attend campus tours at institutions like UC Davis, UC Berkeley, San Francisco State, Cal State Maritime, Sonoma State, ARC, University of the Pacific, Stanford, San Jose State, Cal State Monterey Bay, UC Santa Cruz, Cal State East Bay, and Saint Mary's College of California. During these trips, our students got to envision themselves at a University attending classes and enjoying fun activities like the Cal vs. Stanford football game, mini-golf, bowling, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Pier 39, the SSS Hornet Museum, the Cartoon Museum, and the Sonoma County Science Fair. 

Stay Healthy During Hot Weather

Take some simple steps to beat the heat this summer and keep yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your pets healthy! Remember to drink plenty of water; wear lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothing; and avoid outside activities during the hottest part of the day, which is from 3:00 to 6:00 pm. Cooling down a few hours a day will allow your body to recover and tolerate the heat better for the rest of the day. Check out other summer health tips.
