Butte College Students and Faculty Struggling and Determined after Devastating Camp Fire
Just a few weeks before the devastating Camp Fire swept through Butte County in north central California, students in Mimi Riley’s Butte College class, Our Sustainable Future, were discussing Radical Joy for Hard Times and how to live with endangered places.

Now, faculty, staff, and students are determined to recover and would appreciate help. http://www.butte.edu/feeds/2018/Ca
