Officials cited danger due to fire, smoke and changing weather conditions, along with challenges for students and employees who have lost their homes or have had to evacuate.
All District-sponsored activities and events are canceled including:
• Cultural events including LumaFest (scheduled for Saturday), Shone Farm Fall Festival (scheduled for Saturday), and theatre arts performances of “It Can’t Happen Here.” (scheduled for Oct. 11-15).

“The safety of our students, faculty and staff are of utmost importance to SRJC,” said Dr. Frank Chong, Superintendent/President. “Beyond that, we have already developed plans for helping those who need support to begin recovering from these tragic events, and those plans will continue to evolve.”
The college’s Emergency Operations Center is continually evaluating the situation and refining support systems for SRJC students and employees.
