Cerritos College hosted an event dedicated to students who are planning on transferring or who are committing to schools.

The college signing event was held in front of the library shade structure May 1, 2023 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

At the event students were able to stop by and take a picture holding a pennant of the University they are committing to as well as take pictures with Franco The Falcon.

The pictures were sent to students’ emails so they could post them on their social media account for family and friends to see.

Free yard signs were also given out to students, along with stickers and gems to customize the sign with.

Melissa Torres, transfer center staff said, “This is the college day signing fair where students that are transferring can take a picture with their school of choice flag as well as with Franco our mascot or if it is a student thinking about transferring then we also provide them a photo with the school that they’re wanting to commit to and we have sign in sheets as well as other information the transfer center has to offer for transferring students.”

Several students stopped excitedly to take pictures with their school of choice pennant, they also grabbed a light refreshment and snack to enjoy while decorating their yard sign.
