When Does Cabrillo College Fall Term Start?
For the first time students and teachers will be able to go to Burning Man, legitimately.

Santa Cruz's Community College starts its term after Labor Day for the first time in years. That's a big relief for teachers and students who have called in sick during that week because of a party in the desert.
Actually, faculty has it tougher. They have to attend training classes the week before Labor Day. Here's the schedule.
