SACRAMENTO, Calif. - April 12th marked the beginning of Ramadan, a holy month observed by millions of Muslims around the world who collectively take part in fasting, self-reflection, charitable giving, and holding space with community. We send our best wishes to the California Community College students, staff, and faculty who are participating in Ramadan and may you have softness and ease throughout this month.
The Student Senate for California Community Colleges recognizes the vast and fluid multicultural experiences of our student body, which underscores the richness of learning and leadership on our campuses. We believe that diversity, along with culturally responsive teaching and learning perspectives are essential to the way we see, think, and interact with each other. Furthermore, we are hopeful that cultivated spaces of belonging (both on and off campuses), can lead to a more equitable and inclusive future for everyone.
The California Community Colleges is the largest system of higher education in the nation, composed of 73 districts and 116 colleges serving 2.1 million students per year. The Student Senate for California Community College works to promote and safeguard access for current and future students to California public higher education in accordance with the Master Plan for Higher Education through system participatory governance, legislative and policy advocacy, and regional support and development and is the official voice of California community college students statewide.
