STUDENT ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS

Mission Statement

Acknowledging the vision and mission of Santa Rosa Junior College, Student Engagement Programs target new, returning, and continuing students in order to assist in the successful accomplishment of their chosen goals. This is accomplished by making both on-and off-campus referrals; offering activities and events to engage students on campus; conducting seminars and workshops to enhance learning; and publishing a weekly eNewsletter during the academic year.

BearFacts Student ENewsletter

During the fall and spring semesters, BearFacts is a weekly publication from Student Life & Engagement Programs. The purpose of the BearFacts Student eNewsletter is to provide students and those supporting students with information about SRJC activities, engagement opportunities, and important deadlines and to promote student retention and success. All submissions can be emailed to the Student Graphic Artist/BearFacts Editor, at bearfacts@santarosa.edu. Submissions may be edited for length and clarity.

I nter-Club Council (ICC)

This student council is part of Student Government Assembly (SGA) and is chaired by the Inter-Club Council (ICC) Chair and it brings all the active clubs together. Contact Student Life & Engagement Programs at (707) 527-4424 for current meeting times.

Day Under the Oaks

Day Under the Oaks is an annual Open House & Community Education Fair. It is one of the most popular community events and traditions in Sonoma County. This year’s event will be held on Sunday, April 28th from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the college’s beautiful park like Santa Rosa Campus. Established in 1978, Day Under the Oaks is FREE to members of the community, and offers over 100 fun and informative booths and activities that promise a world of interest for everyone, no matter your interest or age.

Day Under the Oaks has become so well-loved and well-attended by nearly ten thousand visitors every year that we have added new activities this year for the community to enjoy. Take part in the colorful Native American Celebration and watch the beautiful Chinese Lion Dancers. Visit the model train display, magic shows in the chemistry laboratory, cutting edge computer labs, and many other hands-on demonstrations. There are jumpies, a petting zoo, and pony rides for the kids, plus you can buy a variety of crafts and delicious foods. Purchase lovely student grown plants, meet faculty members in SRJC’s top instructional programs, explore space at the Planetarium, or simply relax listening to the wonderful live music under the oaks.

To ensure that the campus is safe, clean, and pleasurable for all Day Under the Oaks attendees, remember that no dogs or pets are allowed on campus. Again, we are so glad that you and your family and friends are taking part at Santa Rosa Junior College’s Day Under the Oaks!
