Starting promptly at 2 p.m. on Sept. 30, the ASCC Senate discussed topics ranging from the elections on Nov. 2 to the Board of Trustees candidate.

The first order of business was public forum, a practice in which any person can talk about local school events, elections, etc.

Dr. Shin Liu, professor at Rio Hondo College, was up first, talking to the senators about her running for the Board of Trustees position.

Liu said, “I’m a passionate professor and what I want to do is work with students. I want to serve the student body as best as I can.”

Liu went on to discuss her credentials in the past, talking about the many ways she’s used modern technology as a source of connectivity with students.

“I know what you want,” she mentioned, “and I want to provide you what you need.”

Next up on the podium were Rose Vasquez and Christina The, both of whom talked about the upcoming job fair at Cerritos.

They discussed the importance of getting connected with employers and took questions about benefits and volunteering at the job fair.

After questions, they gave the podium to Jeffrey Wu, applying for the IT position at Cerritos, a position dedicated to the school Web site.

Wu took questions concerning the WiFi situation and the pending deadline for that.

“It’s basically already working,” Wu said, “but the Administration is really busy. We’re not making any promises whether or not it’ll work for everyone.”

Other positions to be voted upon were Associated Justice by Samantha Shepard, and assistant of communications of Disabled Students, by Rachel Villanueva.

During her speech, Villanueva said she would want to “promote awareness of the problems disabled students face,” if she were elected.

Closing out the meeting were senator announcements, with ASCC President Oscar Franco taking a few minutes to discuss the importance of getting involved.

“The committees on campus need representatives. We need members to be involved,” Franco said.

Following this, basic ground rules for upcoming ASCC meetings were laid down: ASCC is a neutral party; not Republican, Democrat or Liberal.

Members are able to have their own opinions, but not as a whole, and lastly, the ASCC represents every student on campus.
