“It will look good when you are applying for a job,” De La Cruz said.

Undecided major Kendra Robinson believes that outstanding advisers and instructors should be recognized in some way and the ASCC Awards Banquet is a good start.

“They (advisers and instructors) really help out students,” Robinson said.
