Subject: March President's Letter

 

 

Dear Roadrunners,

March was a strong month for our campus, with many opportunities for our community to connect and engage. These moments continue to reinforce our commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment at CHC.

 

We also recognize that external events can impact members of our community in different ways. Recent news regarding allegations brought forward by Dolores Huerta involving Cesar Chavez, has prompted significant reflection and concern across our community. We acknowledge the weight of these conversations and want to be clear that, as a campus community, we stand in support of survivors of sexual assault and abuse. As we move into April, we observe Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

 

Additionally, we celebrate Gaypril, with programs designed to support, educate, and uplift our community. We kicked off Gaypril on April 1 with an Online Film Screening of A Nice Indian Boy(4:30 6:30 p.m. on Zoom), followed by Global Grooves: Silent Disco on April 2 from 12:00 1:00 p.m. at the MCC. These early events set the tone for a month of connection, celebration, and learning, including highlights like Drag Queen Bingo on April 7 and additional workshops and community gatherings throughout the month.

I am incredibly proud of the work happening across this campus every single day to meet the unique needs of each individual who walks through our doors. Thank you for your continued dedication to our students and to one another.

 

Best regards,

 

 

Kevin Horan
President, Crafton Hills College
