The Peralta Community College District is proud to continue our ongoing and sustained commitment to serving the undocumented members of our East Bay community and joins with other community colleges across the state for Undocumented Student Action Week 2024.
Sociology student Kenny Ko talks about his experiences at Berkeley City College. He is in API L.E.A.D. and works at the Basic Needs Center. He is happy to help students with basic needs and assist them with any problems.
Here in the East Bay, we live in an earthquake zone, so it’s important that we all know what to do to keep as safe as possible during a quake. The Great California Shakeout on October 17, 2024, at 10:17am, is an opportunity to test our emergency preparedness in case of an earthquake. On that day and time, the Peralta Community College District will test our emergency communication system, Rave, by sending you all a text and email message advising you of the Great Shakeout emergency earthquake test.
