The following came from the Faculty Association for California Community Colleges (FACCC):
Dear Colleagues,
Please join us this Thursday, October 8, at 11:00 a.m. for a moment of silence in solidarity with Umpqua Community College.
The Faculty Association of California Community Colleges stands together with community colleges across the country in this important effort.
Encourage your colleagues, students, and community members to use the #IamUCC hashtag to share support via social media.
As one community,
Shaaron Vogel
President
