Cerritos College hosted the 2024-25 Student Convocation on October 16. President/Superintendent
Dr. Jose Fierro addressed the students in attendance, emphasizing the importance of
education as a long-term investment in financial security and employment opportunities.

spent studying is an investment in one’s future.
