As you are aware a two-alarm fire last Monday, June 22, in the ATC Building on the Taylorsville Redwood campus devastated the physical space of SLCC’s Mail Service and Printing Services departments. We’re extremely grateful that there were no injuries and thankful for the extensive first responder support that kept the fire from spreading to other on-campus buildings on campus or to the nearby neighborhood.

Temporary locations have been set up for both departments to continue to serve the college. We appreciate your patience and support as both work to get fully functional.

Black Student Union President Jaycee Galvin
Fueled by hope – or perhaps, prisoners of hope, to paraphrase Dr. Cornel West – in the belief that impactful, lasting change can be brought to the subject of racial injustice, students, staff and faculty at Salt Lake Community College gathered to hear and share ideas of what can be done to tip the scales.The SLCC Black Student Union (BSU) dubbed their event, “The Time is Now: Let’s Talk About Racial Injustices,” assembling at the college’s Taylorsville Redwood Campus. With media attention more focused on the pandemic and less on the continuing peaceful protests around the country, the gathering was also about timing and momentum.“We thought that putting off this event to a later time is not the right thing to do right now,” said BSU President Jaycee Galvin. “We figure now is the time to raise our voices and be heard.”

Mark Fossen (Atticus Finch) and Dee-Dee Darby-Duffin (Calpurnia) rehearse a scene. It’s here, at last - the new stage adaptation of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, which premiered on Broadway and features a script by Oscar and Emmy winner Aaron Sorkin.Set in the Depression-Era South, Tom Robinson, a black man, is accused of a crime against a white woman. When Lawyer Atticus Finch takes on the case, he is determined to give Tom a fair trial, despite the rampant racism and prejudice in his small town. A heated dissection of justice and virtue, this modern adaptation questions how far we have come since Lee's classic story was first published in 1960.Patrons are being required to wear masks while visiting the theatre and to not attend if they are feeling any symptoms of COVID-19. There will be separate lines for “hi…
