The ASCC have begun to plan for many renovations on campus for this semester.

Two of ASCC President Michael Barrita’s main concerns are beautifying the student center and increasing scholarship opportunities for the students of Cerritos.

The ASCC plan to completely refurnish the Student Center.  Its goal is to make it a suitable-looking place for students to hang out and study.

During the Cabinet meeting this Tuesday there was also discussionon  the new “Habits of Mind” campaign.

ASCC Vice President Shola Shodiya shared, “We have started drilling for a garden (for the student center).”

Though it is unsure when the Student Center will be completely finished, Barrita said the goal is for it to be finished by the Spring banquet awards.

However, he is worried about how the budget cuts are and will affect this project.

“So far, everything looks like it’s on schedule,” Barrita said. “The facilities lost several hourly pay workers though and I don’t know if or how that might affect ongoing projects.”

The ASCC is also working with several clubs to increase the funds for scholarships opportunities.

Eight clubs have already agreed to participate in car washes and other fundraising activities to fund these scholarships.

Their goal is to raise the funds to about $3,000 to $5,000.

Another plan the ASCC has that it finds to be very important is to install maps and information boards on campus to help students find their way around the campus.

Among these changes, fixing the water fountains is another goal Barrita has.

“Athletics is my main concern (for the water fountains),” he added.

He mentioned that the water fountains near the baseball dugout are the fountains he wants done first.

The “Habits of Mind” campaign still needs a lot of work.

Barrita said, “This isn’t something we’re completely in the clear with and it needs a lot of work.”

The ASCC has already put iFALCON posters up around the campus introducing the campaign.

Barrita is also working on making a permanent committee to continue implementing the “Habits of Mind” campaign in future semesters.
