ASCC dubs ‘Show Pride’ campaign successful

With the success of the “Show Pride Campaign” this year to the hope of having club bulletins next semester seven members of the ASCC Cabinet were thanked by ASCC President Joe Cobarrubio on Monday.

The “Show Pride Campaign” enables all students, faculty and staff to be active in keeping the campus clean and the campaign was initiated by Cobarrubio and former ASCC Vice President Alex Armendariz last summer.

In addition, in earning a show pride points for a different events happening on campus, a student end up with 10 point will receive a pin.

Cobarrubio has mentioned before that participating in this campaign has other advantages.

“You might meet someone who can open a door for you that otherwise you wouldn’t have had,” he said.

He added that the hope is that the campaign will be continued by ASCC President-elect Jason Macias and ASCC Vice President-elect Michael Barrita.

Following that, Cobarrubio mentioned the year that the members of cabinet had done and that those who are transferring with have success and those who are returning will decide to continue in student government.

For David Robarte, commissioner of disabled students, one of the biggest events was the second annual wheelchair basketball game that happened on March 21.

Although he is undecided as to whether or not to continue in student government that is was fun and also had built relationships with those in cabinet.

Macias reiterated with Cobarrubio and also called the year a success. He mentioned that he will continue the “Show Pride Campaign” next semester and that agreed that the seven members that stayed showed commitment.

Furthermore, there was the Transformation Plan that will begin next year. During the ASCC Cabinet and Senate meetings last Oct. 23 and 25 expressed concern over a plan that would remodel Falcon Square.

The Cerritos College Transformation Committee is looking into the possibilities of reconstructing Falcon Square and tearing down the Burnight Center Theatre and relocating it toward the southeast end of the campus.

“That area of Falcon Square is where (some) students hang out,” Riley Schitz, commissioner of daytime activities, said, “(It’s) also where students study and have a place to read.”

In addition to the move of the Burnight Theatre and the Amphitheater, Falcon Square itself would also lose the area in which student activities such as Club Information Day and Night, Hoe Down Days and the College Mega Fair are held.

With that in mind, Cobarrubio said next year will hopefully address issue of concern with the Transformation Plan as well as the continued work that makes Cerritos one of the top community college will continue.
