Juneteenth is an annual celebration of the end of slavery in the United States after the Civil War. In 2021, President Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law, officially making June 19 a federal holiday. SFCC President Becky Rowley, Ph.D., announced the college would observe Juneteenth starting in 2022 with the statement, “As we honor this holiday, it is a reminder that as a community we must continue to actively fight against racism and engage in education and activities that promote meaningful advances in equity, justice, and community solidarity for all.”
The Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln in January 1, 1863. The news to end slavery, however, was not immediately acknowledged or shared in some Southern states. Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the date Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and delivered General Order No. 3 announcing the end of legalized slavery in Texas. Read more about the origins of Juneteenth here. In addition to its historical significance the Library of Congress blog explains it also is a “symbolic date” representing the African American struggle for freedom and equality, and a celebration of family and community.

SFCC celebrates Pride & Juneteenth from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. June 21 in Campus Courtyard
SFCC recognizes the historical significance of both Pride Month and Juneteenth. SFCC also sees there are reasons to celebrate and have fun, as is done in communities celebrating both events. SFCC supports our Pride community and pays tribute to Juneteenth by celebrating with a special June 21 summer event. Student Activities acknowledges the fight and struggle that surrounds us as is shared on the display boards in the Campus Center about Pride and Juneteenth.
The June 21 event offers a way to build bonds with one another like a family as we remove the stigma of what is happening in the world and the unkindness towards all humans. We stand together as one and we support each other.
Join the SFCC family as we celebrate together from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 21, in the Campus Courtyard. Stop by and enjoy burgers, chips, beverages. Listen to some oldies and beach music. Play a variety of fun games including card games, chess, connect 4, corn hole and other games.

Barnes & Noble’s last business day is June 23. Bookstore under Follet Higher Education opens July 10.
Nick Telles, Vice President for Finance & CFO, shared the following message on June 9:
The college will be transitioning bookstore management and operations from Barnes and Noble College to Follett Higher Education. This transition will officially occur on June 30, 2023.
Barnes and Noble has been handling adoptions for all summer classes that started on June 5 and Barnes & Noble has communicated that there are no problems with course materials at this time.
The courses scheduled for the Summer II Semester that begins on July 3, 2023, do not currently have any course material or textbook requirements. Therefore, Summer II courses will not be compromised during the transition.
Barnes and Noble has also communicated the below important dates relating to course materials:
- All summer term course materials will be available in the campus store until the week of June 19.
- Barnes and Noble’s last day of business will be Friday June 23, 2023, to clear equipment and take inventory prior to June 30, 2023.
In addition, the campus store will have to be closed the week of July 3- July 7 so that Follett Higher Education can set up operations. Follet will reopen the campus store on July 10. After the reopening on July 10, Follett will be communicating the course material adoption process for the Fall Semester 2023.
The SFCC Office of Information Technology is currently working with Follett to setup IT systems. After the essential IT systems are functional, the college will be working on integrating Financial Aid processes. We will let the college know of any new Financial Aid process requirement as we change to Follett.
We appreciate your patience as we make this transition on a very short timeline.

SFCC Wastewater Treatment Plant closure & decommissioning work through May 2023
SFCC is in its final phase to permanently close our Wastewater treatment plant and transfer our waste to Ranchland Utility regional facility. This will benefit SFCC in several ways, including reuse of treated water for irrigation purposes used in the local community, no additional capitol funding resources needed to support 36+ old infrastructure that has extended beyond its useful life, and future opportunities to repurpose land in accordance with SFCC 2021 Master Plan.
There will be construction activities extending through May 2023. Please note there will be no impact to services during this project. For more information contact Andrea Mueller, Facilities & Operations Assistant Director & Campus Planning at andrea.mueller1@sfcc.edu or 505-930-9781.

- You should isolate from others when you have COVID-19.
- You should also isolate if you are sick and suspect that you have COVID-19 but do not yet have test results.
- Ending isolation is detailed on the CDC’s Isolation and Precautions for People with COVID-19 webpage – “Ending Isolation”.
- Positive or suspected positive individuals should coordinate closely with supervisors to make appropriate accommodations, as well as reporting for absences using regular sick leave.
- If you are out of sick leave and contracted COVID-19, please contact the Office for Human Resources to determine if other options are available to you.
- The college custodial staff continues its rigorous cleaning and disinfecting protocols, which includes a campus-wide daily schedule, with emphasis on bathrooms, and higher traffic and enclosed spaces.
- Additionally, Facilities and Operations staff have made significant improvements to college ventilation and filtration systems and those systems are up and running.

Work has begun on connector roads to SFCC
Work expected to continue until fall
The Santa Fe New Mexican reported in the Jan. 25 story, “County hopes construction of connector roads leads to growth south of city,” that “Santa Fe County is starting the construction phase of a more than $20 million infrastructure project 20 years in the making, which aims to provide better access to Santa Fe Community College and accommodate future growth south of the city. …
“The “northeast connector” involves construction of roadway and two roundabout intersections between Dinosaur Trail and Rabbit Road, giving drivers a direct route between them. Currently, drivers traveling west from Rabbit Road are required to drive through the Oshara Village subdivision to reach Dinosaur Trail or busy Richards Avenue.
“The “southeast connector” will serve as an alternate route from Rabbit Road to Avenida del Sur to reduce traffic congestion on Richards Avenue. This route also will provide secondary emergency access to the community college, according to the county.”
