👷🏽‍♀️ Happy Labor Day! Today we honor the workers, organizers, and everyday people whose dedication, sacrifice, and collective strength built the foundation of opportunity that so many of us stand on today. 🌟 We believe in the dignity of work and the power of education to open doors for our students, our community, and generations to come.

To our faculty, classified professionals, staff, and administrators who show up every day to serve our students, today is for you too. Thank you. ❤️

Peralta Colleges offices will be closed today in observance of Labor Day. We'll see you Tuesday! 🎓
