Actors dressed in turn-of-the-century attire will recreate scenes depicting the aftermath and response of Sacramentans to one of the largest disasters in American history- the San Francisco earthquake and fire.
On April 24, from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., members of the California State Capitol Volunteer Association will present a historical re-enactment of the chaos that unfolded at the Capitol after the catastrophe.
Step back in time and witness costumed volunteers and staff recreate scenes in response to the disaster.
Meet Governor George Pardee as he receives a telegram from President Theodore Roosevelt offering $1 million for disaster relief. Attorney General Ulysses S. Webb, Secretary of State Charles Curry, and Treasurer Truman Reeves will be on hand to help the refugees, some of who camped out on the Capitol grounds and at Sutter’s Fort. Meet the women of Sacramento who assisted the San Francisco families to obtain meal tickets, clothing and blankets.
This event, held at the state Capitol, is free to the public.

Academic Integrity- What Constitutes Cheating?
The public is invited to attend a talk by Dr. Tricia Bertram Gallant, Chair of the Advisory Council of the International Center for Academic Integrity, on the topic of academic cheating on April 8, noon to 2 p.m. in the Cosumnes River College Recital Hall.
The talk, titled “But I’m a good person!” and other misconceptions about academic cheating: Rethinking academic integrity as professional integrity,” will look at how the popular conception of academic cheating as an act of moral depravity has not been effective at reducing misconduct on our college and university campuses. Dr. Gallant redefines academic integrity as a form of professional integrity, and will review the factors that move all of us away from performing our roles with integrity, and calls to action those students, faculty, staff, and administrators who long for new ways to act with, develop, and encourage, professional integrity.
The talk is sponsored by Cosumnes River College and the Sacramento State University Center for Practical and Professional Ethics. For more information, please contact CRC Philosophy Professor and Chair of the Academic Integrity Committee Rick Schubert at schubert@crc.losrios.edu.

Human Trafficking Awareness Seminar Today at Sac State
Sacramento State is hosting a seminar about a serious international issue- human trafficking.
It’s still going on right now from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. I’m not sure if you can just “pop in,” because it is $30 for general admission and $10 for students, but you might want to stop by if you’re on campus.
The event, “Hidden in Plain Sight: Human Trafficking in the Central Valley,” hosts speakers from the FBI and the San Jose Police Department. The founding executive of the Coalition to Abolish Slavery & Trafficking will be in attendance too.
It’s being held in the University Union Ballroom.
