Students get introduced to new groups on club info day

Students get introduced to new groups on club info day

Listen to staff writer Megan Winters talk about Club Day

Cerritos College clubs were out in full force looking for prospective new members to join and get involved on campus.

The two-day event was held Wednesday Sept. 1 and Thursday Sept. 2 at Falcon Square from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Wednesday evening from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Social Science patio.

On-lookers, like Bryanna Thompson, undecided major, took advantage of club information day and signed up for Kenesiology Club and also looked into American Institute of Graphic Arts Club.

“I’m a freshman this year, so I wanted to get involved like I was in high school,” Thompson said, “The two clubs could help me with my possible future career as either a physical therapist or coaching for tennis and also an art major.”

Clubs were handing out out flyers, candy, refreshments and sign up sheets to spread the word to students about their clubs.

Cosmetology Club was promoting their department with ten cosmetology students giving out $2 haircuts and $1 manicures and eyebrow arches.

Club president, Gina Ortega, says,”Our department is [a little] secluded, so being in this club helps our organization be a part of the rest of Cerritos College and get involved with other events and show students what we have to offer.”

New client of the Cosmetology Club Jonathan Galicia, physical therapy major, received a haircut, “I love it, once I see myself in the mirror and see how good it looks, I’ll be coming back to get my hair cut more often.”

Not only does each club work independently, the fall semester also brings clubs together with homecoming. Clubs participate in the building of homecoming floats that are presented during half time of the homecoming football game. Each club float is entered in a competition and is eligible to win awards.

Students are encouraged to “link-up.” According to the Cerritos College iFalcon website, successful students make connections with academic communities and surround themselves with focused scholars and mentors.

For active club students like Triathlon Club member and computer science major, Christopher DeMaree, being in a club has benefited his overall studies.

“Being in this club has kept me on the campus longer so it gives me more excuses to be around school and actually do my work, I feel my grades have improved.”
