Young Falcons Get a Feel for College Life
Forty fifth-grade students from Dulles Elementary visited the campus on February 10. The day began with a campus tour provided by the School Relations Student Ambassadors, followed by a presentation highlighting the benefits of attending a community college, including the award-winning Cerritos Complete that offers two years of free tuition and early enrollment. The students also learned about Dual Enrollment opportunities at Cerritos College and enjoyed college swag giveaways. This event was coordinated by the Office of Educational Partnerships & Programs to introduce elementary school students to college opportunities while in K-12 and after.
Black History Month Features Engaging Dialogue on Engineering Our Future
Sponsored by Human Resources, Black History Month hosted a lively discussion featuring Kenneth A. Brown, Board President of El Camino College, and Dr. Jose Fierro on February 15. Kenneth is an engineering manager at Northrop Grumman and teaches physics at Cal State Dominguez Hills.
