Santa Barbara City College’s Raíces program is scheduled to close on Friday, July 31, due to the end of Federal Hispanic Serving Institutions Title V grant money. The program, located on the second floor of the West Campus Center, has offered on and off campus resources, advising hours, and hosted special events throughout the year.
Impact on Students
All students impacted by the closure have been contacted, and most are being serviced by other programs on campus. The college has stated that this is a temporary pause, not a permanent closure, as they continue to search for new funding.
