Yom Kippur (Jewish)
Multifaith and Cultural
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement or the Day of Reconciliation, is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. It is a solemn day dedicated to repentance, self-reflection, and seeking forgiveness for past wrongdoings. Jews traditionally fast for 25 hours, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical comforts, while focusing on prayer and spiritual renewal. Observances include attending synagogue services for the duration of the day. Yom Kippur concludes with an evening service and the sounding of the shofar, symbolizing the end of the fast and a renewed commitment to ethical living.
Accommodations: This is a holiday or custom that may be observed by some members of the Hornet Family. Please note the general practices and common accommodations to ensure that your courses, activities, and events are inclusive and respectful of the multitude of religious and cultural customs observed by our campus community.

The Holder 20 is perfect for those interested in learning how to sail a larger style of sailboat while the Venture bridges the gap between the Quest and the Holder. Both keelboats have bench style seating and can comfortably accommodate 4-5 adults. On-the-water skills covered include docking, person overboard recovery, and sail trim. Students will be required to perform a brief swim test. There is no capsize recovery required as the boat is extremely unlikely to capsize.

Learning & Development
Facilitated by Seya Lumeya, CSU Chico
Open to all employees
Conflict rarely begins with a major confrontation. More often, it starts with a moment of confusion, tension, or discomfort that goes unaddressed. This interactive workshop introduces the Conflict Cycle and explores how everyday situations can move from discomfort to blame, accumulated frustration, confrontation, and eventually withdrawal. Participants will explore the idea of constructive discomfort and learn how engaging with these early moments with curiosity, confidence, and respectful communication can help prevent unnecessary escalation and strengthen campus relationships. By the end of the session, participants will be able to recognize the stages of the Conflict Cycle, identify opportunities to engage with conflict before tension escalates, and apply practical approaches for turning uncomfortable moments into constructive dialogue.

Please join us at this artist talk to hear directly from the artists about their work and process. A reception will follow after the talk.
Juan Carlos Quintana is a Cuban-American arist whose work embodies irony and ambiguity. He creates what he describes as a "pre-post-anti-pro revolutionary gumbo/ajiaco potpourri" of images. His whimsical, satirical style speaks to ideological conundrums and lost idealism, challenging dominant narratives much like the original Tropicalist used art to cri/que authority.
Carlo Ricafort, is a Filipino-American arist who employs an eclectic process of excavating history, music, philosophy and current events to inform his work.
