We are saddened by the news of Dolores Huerta's passing today; her pioneering work as a labor leader and civil rights advocate helped shape California and our nation.
We fondly remember her April 2019 visit to Santa Rosa Junior College, when she delivered the DeDe and David Del Monte Lecture (linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adaUsnTbFfg).

New exhibit at the SRJC Agrella Art Gallery: Selections from the Artist Lecture Series, October 26th-November 25th, 2026. The gallery is located on the Santa Rosa campus, on the ground floor of the Doyle Library, and it is free to visit. Hours: Monday-Thursday 10am-4pm. Opening Reception: October 29th, 4 pm-6 pm.

"Selections from the Artist Lecture Series" brings together artists who have participated in the Artist Lecture Series that the Art Department has presented to the Santa Rosa Junior College community over the past three years. The works on view reflect the diversity of contemporary art practices, a guiding principle of the series’ programming. The Santa Rosa Junior College Foundation funded the original lecture series.

Congratulations to our SRJC Theatre Arts Department!

Unfortunately, the Green Living Fair on the Santa Rosa campus had to be cancelled. While we are happy for the rain, the event setup could not be completed outdoors and there were no options indoors with such short notice.

The Campaign for College Opportunity has named Santa Rosa Junior College a 2026 Pathway Champion of Placement Equity for Black Student Success, marking the second consecutive year the college has received a Pathway Champion recognition for its efforts to advance equitable student outcomes.
The annual Pathway Champions recognition celebrates California Community Colleges and California State University campuses working to improve college completion and transfer opportunities. The Placement Equity recognition highlights efforts to remove barriers that can prevent students from accessing the courses they need to make progress toward a degree and transfer to a four-year university.

How would you feel if two major wishes were granted to you on the same day?
For Arina Yefimova, April 17, 2026, was a day she'll never forget. Within hours, she received an acceptance letter for transfer from one of the country's best universities and learned she had landed a highly competitive cybersecurity internship. "I will remember that day forever," she said.
Arina, a Computer Science major at SRJC, found a cybersecurity internship posting with the Port of Oakland through the MESA program. She nearly skipped applying since the odds were so steep: 500 applicants for just 20 intern spots across all Port of Oakland departments, with 30 people competing for the single cybersecurity position. She got the offer and became the program's sole cybersecurity intern.
The same day she learned she'd been accepted as one of the lucky interns, she also received her admission letter and offer from UC Berkeley.
