Both the Cerritos College Student American Dental Hygienists’ Association Club and the Cerritos College Model United Nations Club brought forth proposals for funding of conferences to members of the ASCC Cabinet on Monday.
Also, Dean Ackland, coordinator of student activities, said that Hoe Down Days held Mar. 14 through Mar. 16 was a success for Cerritos College and its students. In addition, the Cabinet announced that a Breast Cancer Awareness Walk would be held in Falcon Square this Thursday.
The CCMUN first conference will be held in San Francisco on Apr. 21 through Apr. 25 that will give students an opportunity to pursue careers involving the UN.
Furthermore, the conference will also expose those interested to policies and world decisions. The total being requested by the CCMUN is $1,713.50.
David Bronson, commissioner of information technology, asked where the money was coming from to fund the conference.
“The money will be coming from inactive accounts,” Cynthia Ho, commissioner of budget and finance, said.
Equally, was the SADHA request of $1,731.48 of the total cost of $5,194.44 for its June 2006 National Table Clinic competition to be held in Orlando, FL.
Both the ASCC Cabinet and ASCC Senate must approve both proposals.
Meera Desai, commissioner of athletics, asked what if both proposals are not passed by the Cabinet and Senate.
“Both (clubs) will not get the money,” ASCC President Paulo Amaral said.
Holly Bogdanovich, director of student activities, informed the Cabinet that each proposal by the CCMUN and SADHA had to be presented 45 days prior to each of the club’s conferences which she said that they did because “(the club) were thinking ahead of time.”
Both funding proposals were only brought to the attention of the Cabinet and will be voted on until the Senate has had a chance to examine them.
Then, Ackland announced that Hoe Down Day held in Falcon Square was a success.
“Two hundred dollars was raised in (student activities) scholarships and the committee involved in the arrangements made it easier.”
“In-N-Out Burger was a hit,” Ackland continued, “and 1,200 burgers were sold.”
Lastly, ASCC Vice President Charlene Angsuco said that anyone who was interested in participating in the Breast Cancer Awareness walk should do so.
