In an age of COVID and Zoom meetings, many things have become difficult. But as we progress and grow accustomed to this new age, school organizations must also cater to these changes. American River College’s Associated Student Body is one such organization: Currently, the ASB is failing to provide students with proper access to its meetings. Multiple barriers exist for access to ASB’s meetings. The Discord link provided on ASB’s page on the ARC website is no longer functioning.

American River College’s student-run restaurant and bakery, the Oak Cafe, has opened its doors once again for guests in search of a sweet treat during the spring semester. The Oak Cafe had been inoperative for multiple semesters due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but as restrictions began to lessen and campuses opened up, so has the Oak Cafe for its second semester back. According to Brian Knirk, head of ARC’s cooking department, there have been many changes in the restaurant industry since COVID-19.
