Antonio Lavermon and Dr. Jose FierroThe Outstanding Classified/Confidential Employee Selection Committee named Antonio Lavermon, LGBTQ+ program facilitator, from the student equity and success department the recipient of the Outstanding Classified/Confidential Employee of the Month Award for November 2023. 

Nio came to Cerritos College in 2021 as students returned to the campus post-pandemic. It was a challenging time to come to campus as a new employee all on its own, but Nio joined the college while students were navigating many post-pandemic obstacles as well. Despite these challenges, Nio took little time to embrace Cerritos College and our students, becoming an exemplary Falcon leader. Nio has fostered a welcoming and safe environment in the Equity Center, supporting many campus student equity initiatives. He has expanded the visibility of the support programs for all marginalized student identities, encouraged students' sense of belonging, and empowered students to be advocates for themselves and their peers. Nio is an excellent communicator and consistently provides notices to the campus about upcoming campus and community activities. Nio can be seen at most (if not all) campus activities, where he is always sharing smiles, making new connections, and elevating the positive energy of the event. Nio is genuinely an exceptional Cerritos College employee.

Nio, your dedication, commitment, and willingness to go above and beyond to meet the needs of the students and staff are exceptional. The administration, staff, and students appreciate your attributes and outstanding efforts. We are proud that you are a Cerritos College employee, and we commend you for your outstanding service and dedication.  Thank you for a job well done!
