Cerritos College’s outstanding students will receive recognition for their hard work at the 2001 Fall Awards Banquet.
Sponsored by the Associated Students, Cerritos College will be holding a semi-formal dinner and an award ceremony to honor its honor students on Dec. 7 in the Student Center.
Hopeful award recipients were required to turn in a completed application to the Office of Student Activities on or before Nov. 8. Students were able to nominate themselves, other students or be nominated by an advisor.
According to Claudia Valdez, assistant commissioner, winners of the awards are determined by the ASCC President and a special committee.
“They try to do it anonymously. All of the applications get a number, and the names are covered up, then everybody on the committee rates the applicant on a scale from one to 10. Everybody is averaged out and depending on the points received the applicant gets a certificate of bronze, silver and so on,” Valdez said.
Some of the awards given will be:
o Bronze Falcon – given to students who excel in service and participation in programs that are sponsored by the ASCC (students must have a G.P.A of 2.0 or higher).
o Silver Falcon – given to students who are outstanding in leadership, service and participation in programs sponsored by the ASCC (students must have a G.P.A of 2.0 or higher).
o Gold Falcon – given to students who are the most outstanding in service and participation in programs sponsored by the ASCC. These student must have a G.P.A of at least 2.0 and show personal integrity.
