Welcome to Folsom Lake College's Online Newspaper
Update: As members of The Talon staff, we would like to take this semester to remember and honor a very dear Folsom Lake College English professor, Thomas Caramagno, who recently passed away from cancer. Tom had an immense influence on our college campus and in the lives of his friends, family, students, and colleagues. He will be missed greatly. To our readers, please submit any fond memories and photos of Tom to our staff at folsomlaketalon@gmail.com and we will post them on a permanent dedication page.
