leaving our position to go help somebody when we shouldn't have.”

Students at LA Valley in need of health services began coming to the Health Center at Pierce, according to the Director of the Health Center Beth Benne.

Benne said that LA Valley still charged their students a student health fee over the summer even though the Valley Student Health Center was not available.

“Valley chooses to charge their students the $8 health fee, which is technically illegal if you don’t have an operating health center,” Benne said.

Benne said that the Health Center at Pierce should be compensated for their services to Valley students.

“We should get 50% of whatever health fees were collected over the summer sessions.”

Benne said. “We haven’t seen a penny.”

Dean of Student Life Maria Negrete confirmed in an email that the Student Health Center at Valley had been temporarily shut down over the summer.

A note posted on LA Valley campus told students “if you need immediate assistance, please visit the Student Health Center at Los Angeles Mission College.”

Both the note and the email mention LA Mission College but not Pierce. Negrete also confirmed that LA Valley did collect the student health fee over the summer.

Benne said that Vice President of Student Services Earic DixonPeters had been “in discussion” with LA Valley college regarding the matter.

Dixon-Peters declined to comment on the subject.

The stairs to the art area of the school are an arduous climb, but there was a reward waiting for them at the top on Thursday evening.

That’s where guests found the inaugural ArtWalk. Sponsored by ASO and hosted by the Journeymen, Pierce’s theater club, the event featured live music, dance, art and games.

Michael Gend, a professor of theater arts and the department chair of performing arts, said it

“These students came together to say, ‘Hey, we have all this cool art going on at Pierce College. Let’s showcase it all together at the same time instead of at different events.’ I think that is really important,” Gend said.

Alexa Maris McGinnis, a theater major at Pierce and vice president of the Journeymen, said that the group had been working on ArtWalk since the summer.

McGinnis said the event featured the Art and Architecture and Performing Arts departments.

McGinnis said that she thought it was important for the different departments to uplift one another.

“I think this type of collaboration is really important because it makes students feel connected to their school, it makes students feel pride in being a Pierce College student and it makes students feel really supported, like the departments are supporting them,” McGinnis said. “We wanted to support other departments and have other departments support us. We wanted to raise awareness of all these great programs that Pierce College has to offer students.”
