Big things are coming to Placer County! Last week, leaders from Sac State and the University Foundation at Sacramento State, visited Sierra College and toured the future site of the Placer Center with local community leaders. The Sac State Placer Center is a bold new vision for higher education in one of California’s fastest-growing regions. The 300-acre campus represents a powerful collaboration between Sac State, Sierra College and the local community. The Placer Center reflects our shared commitment to expanding access, serving the public good, and building a brighter future — right here in Placer County. 🤝 📸 Sacramento State/Bibiana Ortiz
