Hi there! Julian Reynoso here with your weekly update of what's happening at SAC.

Now that every adult in OC is eligible to receive the Covid-19 vaccine, there seems to be a closer sense of normality. Some Dons are back on the field sweeping double headers (though no fans are allowed), Disneyland is coming back (as well as their overpriced churros), and our college is planning its first in-person graduation ceremony in two years at Angel Stadium.

el Don staff have also been writing album reviews, sharing their experiences getting vaccinated on Instagram and publishing first-person accounts of that time they were the only legal worker in a greenhouse in the middle of the pandemic.

Questions? Concerns? Is there something confusing that you want us to look into for you? Reply to this email --- or just DM us on any of the social media accounts above. Doggy pics welcome!

They are the people who go unnoticed. The ones who work for minimum wage and will never ask for more. They are the workers who sweat through dizzying heat to make your “plant pets” and “plant parent” memes a possibility during dull quarantine days.
