The campus is closed today.

In 2024, Governor Gavin Newsom today issued a proclamation declaring April 24, 2024, as “A Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide.”

A statement from the Governor’s office said the new Genocide Remembrance Day will be “a day for all to reflect on past and present genocides, but especially those that have felt the impact of these atrocities and groups that have found refuge in California, including, but not limited to, the Holocaust, Holodomor, and the Genocides of the Armenian, Assyrian, Greek, Cambodian, and Rwandan communities.”
