Our team had a great time supporting local K-12 teachers and sharing about EPIC last night at the Nevada Museum of Art Back-to-School event. Thank you for the invite!

These past few weeks have been a challenging time for our community. Fires, evacuations and closures have brought uncertainty and a heaviness throughout the Truckee Meadows. We’re grateful for the efforts of firefighters and first responders, the generosity of local organizations and businesses, and the outpouring of support from neighbors and loved ones. Thank you for looking out for one another, and for the reminder of what makes our community so special.

As our colleagues and students on the academic side of Truckee Meadows Community College kick off a new semester today, we wish you the best, and thank you to our TMCC EPIC students for your patience as we reschedule classes which were affected by the Hawk fire. In addition, TMCC also offers resources such as counseling services and Wizard’s Warehouse (food and personal hygiene supply pantries) at each of our campus locations. You don’t have to navigate this alone, reach out to the counseling center at 775-673-7060 to learn more.

Stay safe, Lizards 💚🦎
