Campus Announcements

Ramona Avenue Parking Lot Closure
May 4, 2006 will be the last day of the Spring 2006 semester that the Ramona Avenue Parking lot will be open for use. The Ramona Avenue Parking Lot has served as the overflow parking site to ease the shortage of parking spaces on the main campus. The need to continue using Ramona Avenue for overflow parking no longer exists. Parking demand has diminished, and parking is available on campus throughout the entire school day. This is to advise the campus community that the Ramona Avenue Parking Lot will close on Thursday, May 4, 2006 for the remainder of the semester. The Ramona Avenue Parking Lot will reopen for Fall 2006.

Please continue to check the UTAPS website, www.csus.edu/utaps, as information regarding campus parking will be updated as parking conditions change. If you have questions, please call 278-PARK or send email to parking@csus.edu.

Holiday Food Drive 2005 results
The results of the 2005 Holiday Food Drive are in. The Sacramento State community gave an equivalent of 6,813 pounds of food, which was 418 pounds more than in 2004, a 29 percent increase. The level of monetary donations—which go the furthest to purchase food for the needy—increased significantly over 2004.

The committee thanks everyone for their contributions to the Holiday Food Drive. This year’s drive will begin in November. For questions, contact Nancy Fox at 278-5241.
