Cerritos College held an all-majors fair on Nov. 4 on the library sidewalk

The All majors fair focused more on promoting students to obtain an AA degree and to help know about transfer programs and certificate programs. 

Career Center and Re-entry center in-charge Shannon Estrada was handling the workshop with the help of staff and students.

“I like the idea of the workshop, many students who barely have any idea about their majors, who are confused between choosing majors  can find the solution for their problems. They could also directly speak to the faculty and staff to know what all can do with their majors,” Estrada said.

Alejandra Novoa, double major in Psychology and English,said, “I worked with Shannon before, and now I am helping to fill out the forms and show students if they seem to be confused.”

Either staff or students of the particular department were available in the booth to help and provide info to students.

 Students throughout the fair came to fill out a survey and filled out raffle tickets for a drawing for several prizes, including tickets for Medieval Times, dinner at Frantone’s Pizza, coffee and other gift items.

“We got lots of donations so that we had more of a chance to make the workshop more exciting rather than just a info booth,” Estrada said.

Alejandra Hernandez undecided major, said, “It really helped me out, I was confused between chemistry and nursing, now I know where I should land.”

Armando Estrada, surgical technician major, said, “I heard it from my teachers, we got extra credit for attending it, I think the workshop should include more of the department, because there were not many of them.”

Some of the students were worried about the way the workshop is being done, Violet Chavez said, “the workshop should be announced by every teachers in their classes, it will be reliable rather than just handing out fliers to the students which really looks as if they are trying to sell something to us.”
