Message from Dr. Flores to Students Regarding DACA Ruling 10/7/2022
7 October 2022

Like many of you, I was concerned when I saw the news late last night about the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling regarding DACA. The first message I would like to communicate to you is that DACA protections remain in existence. The court’s ruling does not remove protections for current DACA recipients, nor does it stop current recipients from seeking extensions of their current DACA status.

Letter to Campus Community: Regarding Massacre at the Tree of Life synagoge in Pittsburgh
1 November 2018

Tragic incidents make me pause and reflect on what truly matters. Today, I write to honor the lives of those who were recently murdered in the massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh.  These 11 Jewish worshipers were targeted in the deadliest anti-Semitic violence in U.S. history.  As the memorial services for these 11 individuals continue this week, I ask myself what I can do as Superintendent/President to console those among us who are troubled.

Letter to Students Re: Presidential Election & Undocumented Students
16 November 2016

We care about you. We understand how you are feeling. The Rio Hondo College family is here to support you.  In response to last Tuesday’s presidential election — and the events and rhetoric that have followed it — we are writing to let you know that we care deeply about all of our students. We are especially concerned about students who are most vulnerable, including undocumented students.
