Echoes of the Canyon Raises Money for SCC's Hawk's Nest Food Pantry

What started as an English class assignment in how to use primary sources in academic research such as letters and personal journals ended as a published collection of student stories of loss, courage, despair and hope in the age of COVID-19.  SCC English Department faculty members thought the students' letters, essays, poems, and journal entries were so compelling in documenting the impact of the pandemic on real lives that these stories should be shared with a broader audience. The result is Echoes of the Canyon: A Journal in the Time of COVID-19. So far, sales from the book have raised $450 for the Hawk's Nest Food Pantry. It's not too late to get your copy! To find out more, click here. Click here to see the story on KNBC.
