About Us
The mission of the Learning Resources Center is to support 吃瓜头条鈥檚 Institutional Student Learning Outcomes and Strategic Planning Initiatives by providing resources and services to the students, faculty, and staff of the institution, and by serving as an intellectual resource for the academic community.
We want to formally and with great respect acknowledge that we are on the traditional lands of the Yokuts Nation. 吃瓜头条 is built on the unceded ancestral lands of these indigenous tribes. Thank you for letting us honor them and give our thanks to their ancestors and descendants for their constant and careful stewardship of this land.
