Sierra College, a California community college, has its main campus located in Rocklin, California. Rocklin is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, approximately twenty minutes from the state capital of Sacramento and east of San Francisco. The campus lies within the watershed of Secret Ravine, a site of mining operations during the California Gold Rush. In addition to the Rocklin campus, the District has a campus in Grass Valley which is in neighboring Nevada County, a campus center in Truckee, and a campus center in Roseville. The Sierra Community College District, a district that covers over , serves Placer, Nevada and parts of El Dorado and Sacramento counties. ==Origins== Sierra College's origin is unclear. Some say the establishment of the Sierra Normal College and Business Institute in 1882, a small, private college at the location of today's Placer High School in Auburn, California, was later formed into Sierra College. It is commonly thought, however, that Sierra College is the outgrowth of the Placer Union High School District.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sierra College History )〕 The College was officially founded in 1936 and is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. This is the date that the school uses as the official establishment, even though it had been operating under various names and places before this. It was established as "Placer Junior College". In 1954 the college was renamed "Sierra College" with a wolverine as the mascot.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Road That Never Ends )〕 The main campus in Rocklin was chosen by 1960, out of 35 possible sites.〔 The planned construction of Interstate 80 was a consideration in the decision making. In 1961 the new campus opened. In 1996 another campus in Nevada County opened, in between Grass Valley and Nevada City. During 2000–2005, outreach campuses in Roseville and near Truckee were opened.〔 It is governed by a Board of seven trustees who are elected District wide and a student trustee. The constituent groups within the District – trustees, faculty, students, management and classified staff – are committed to the principle of shared governance for assuring broad and deep participation in all decisions critical to the College and District. Only five individuals have held the post of President in the last 50 years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sierra College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
