Conference.

While adapting to the new season, Matt Lisle became the new head coach in his 23rd year of coaching. After graduating as a past LMC student and growing up within the athletic department, it meant a lot for Lisle to return to a familiar team.

Lisle plans to incorporate strong values into the baseball program, focusing on developing “tough-minded, fearless competitors and [to] train them to be leaders for excellence and significance.”

Reflected in Rocha’s current role from player to one of the team captains, he has been able to be the leader he once looked up to when he began.

“Bubba has a lot of strengths, but one that stands out to me is his servant leadership,” said Lisle. “Even as a captain, he approaches leadership with the attitude of helping his teammates get better.”

When describing his team, Rocha sees them as “family” and built on a dynamic to “play for each other,” as he knows how to react and hold players accountable for playing in a strong season.

As LMC’s baseball performance continues strong, Rocha plans to commit to a school by this summer. He has gathered attention from college coaches for his performances offensively and defensively, with his top school being UC Riverside. However, he tries to “not be satisfied” and to “keep progressing through the season” as he works to take the sport he loves to the Major Leagues.

“All of the parties involved in the personnel matter, including the manager, were placed on paid administrative leave during the investigation,” interim LMC President Pamela Ralston said.

College officials said at the time the college is “deeply committed” to creating an equitable and supportive environment for workers and students at LMC.

Glenn and Morales’ attorney, Martin Aarons, has criticized the college district’s handling of the situation

“The workers shouldn’t have been placed on leave because I feel they haven’t done anything wrong,” Aarons told the Experience. “You don’t remove the victims in those situations, you put the manager on leave.”

A lawsuit has not officially been filed but Aarons confirmed that the alleged death threats and racial remarks led to Morales seeking to take action. Mathis and Glenn claimed Ichigaya also made racial comments in the past, saying that “Blacks use a lot of cocoa butter,” as well as calling the way Glenn dressed being similar to one of a “thug.”

LMC Vice President Carlos Montoya explained that, because it is a personnel matter, he could not confirm whether any of the employees involved who were put on leave returned to work at the college.

However, according to Aarons, Morales returned to work in January. Quinn was fired in October of last year after allegedly failing to pass probation, Aarons said, though he argues that Quinn was not given a fair chance because he had been placed on administrative leave. He added that Mathis was also allowed to return to work but his doctor advised against it.

Being the most fresh face in LMCAS, Grigsby is eager and ready to take part in student government and improve student life. alleged remark.

Montoya also would not confirm whether Ichigaya is still employed with the college or the district. However, according to February agenda and minutes of a district Governing Board meeting, Ichigaya’s retirement request was accepted and will become effective June 16.

“LMC has made changes to the work schedule of the department, enabling members of that team to be on site for an earlier shift, increasing their safety and engagement with the rest of the campus community,” said interim President Ralston.

Aarons himself has not had any contact with either Los Medanos College or the Contra Costa Community College District, but said Morales and Glenn reached out to him because, “they didn’t feel like they were getting consideration and justice from the district.”

The potential lawsuit is being considered as a result of a culmination of alleged death threats, racial remarks and mishandling of the overall situation by the college and district, according to Aarons. It’s uncertain where the legal process will go or even who the defendants might be but Aarons said it is possible the school, district and manager could all be defendants.

However, as of press timea lawsuit has not yet been filed.

“For me, hearing that I was nominated and won awards for my works as a journalist feels like I’m doing something right. I often lose sight of what my strengths are but these help with bringing confidence in myself,” said Benedian, also adding that, “I most definitely couldn’t have reached that point without the help from everyone in the journalism department and anyone else who supported me.”

This is what she should have been going for on this album instead of phoning it in and making radio garbage. Which there is a place for, but there is so much potential going on here with these two ballads.

Sarina Grossi, former editor-in-chief for the paper, won two individual awards, including third place in critical review and honorable mention in editorial.

Experience Managing Editor Mohammad Najimi won first place in the News Judgment and Page Layout contest.

“I didn’t expect to win this award honestly. When I saw my name come up as the winner, I felt overjoyed and a little bit embarrassed because it gave me the sense of accomplishment that I’m doing things right to win this award,” said Najimi.

All in all, this album was pretty mediocre, with some sparks of good ideas. Cyrus is an incredible ballad writer, but that is not the entire album, and there are a lot of flops or filler songs. This led me to give this album a three out of 10-star review.
