City College and the surrounding areas lost power Feb. 6 shortly after 9 a.m.
About 34,000 SMUD customers were without power Feb. 6, according to the Sacramento Bee. SMUD Spokesman Chris Capra said the bulk of the outages were likely caused by lightning striking two substations, also according to the Bee.
Text message alerts and emails sent to notify students of the outage. The main campus was closed at 2 p.m. and was set to reopen Saturday morning, except for the Learning Resource Center.
Notifications were sent throughout the weekend to update students and staff on the situation.
According to IT dean Elaine Ader in an email on Feb. 6, the outage damaged a core switch that is essential for computer and telephone operations on campus.

The front page headline of the April 28 Sacramento Bee boldly claimed, “Sacramento performing arts center could be next big-ticket item for city.” The article, by Hudson Sangree and Edward Ortiz, describes the debate over renovating the Community Center Theater, a tremendous and ugly cement block of a building at 13th and L streets, or starting fresh and constructing a new, state-of-the-art performing arts center.
The existing theater needs about $11 million in renovations to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. An accompanying facelift for the theater has been proposed for $52 million.
The average age of today’s live theater patron is over 50 years old—at least given the amount of gray hair I see in Sacramento audiences. With baby boomers retiring, the local theater scene enjoys steady patronage. But theater directors need to find ways to engage younger audiences.
With hundreds of TV channels, video games, and multi-million dollar blockbusters on screens everywhere and eyes glued to smartphones, how do theaters stand a chance? How do we spark new interest while maintaining established theatergoers’ support?
One exciting way to do this is fusing multiple artistic forms of media—think radio, visual arts, projection, live theater, music and special effects mashed up with traditional works.
