Falcons leave the nest

Since 1955, Cerritos College has helped individuals interested in higher education get what they needed taken care of and then propelled into the world of labor to pursue a career.

In more recent times Cerritos College has been seen as a safe haven for students that aspire to be more, they find themselves here, in these classrooms and in these halls.

They struggle to balance work with a life that at times can be so ruthless and relentless that they lose hope.

Some leave to join those in a blue collar or white collar field to not only increase this nation’s wealth but to make sure those at home are ensured a meal.

However, this college does not close its doors, instead it offers the opportunity to those individuals to get back to the drawing board and achieve their dreams.

Others join our nation’s armed forces to give everything they have so that the ones they love see the light of day.

In the end, they return to complete their education.

Most dream bigger and bolder, and use Cerritos College as a stepping stone to spread wings grander than ever imagined and say “I did it.”

And when that day comes, to spread their wings, the school calls that commencement.

Those in charge of putting commencement day together are the men and women of the Student Life Committee.

According to Dean of Student Services Dr. Gilbert Contreras, who is the committee chair, one of the jobs undertaken by the committee is selecting a speaker that will dispatch those leaving Cerritos College.

He said, “The speaker is selected by student life and it’s usually during the spring semester. We come up with a list of possible speakers, then we narrow it down.”

The Student Life Committee is where it all starts according to Contreras.

He said, “We make sure we work together so that we can have a great commencement.”

Although preparations for the Spring 2015 commencement have already been discussed, Contreras

said that the committee is planning multiple changes for future commencements to come.

“We want to have announcements or prerecorded messages in both a male and female voice and in spanish and english similar to the messages you would hear at Disneyland. Also [we want to] work on a presentation to show to those commencing how it’s done and switch to cords.

“And we are looking into having one solid color robe for next year,” Contreras said.

Amna Jara, student activities coordinator, has worked for Cerritos College for seven to eight years.

She said, “Commencement is an event that I look forward to all year and I don’t consider that there are any challenges that go with it.

“All college departments take pride in this event and it is a true collaboration. From admissions and records, counseling, public relations, purchasing and fiscal to the bookstore and student activities and campus police.”

According to Jara, commencement isn’t only for students to tie a bow on their time at Cerritos College, but also a time for all those involved to acknowledge the hard work the community puts in.

Arredondo set to speak Lauren Torres Staff Writer @laur_literature

Dr. Patricia Arredondo (Twitter)

Commencement speaker: Dr. Patricia Arredondo will speak to the graduating class at Cerritos College on Saturday. She is the president of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Chicago campus.

Students graduating from Cerritos College this year will have the chance to hear an inspirational speech by Dr. Patricia Arredondo.

She was chosen to speak on commencement day by the Student Life Committee.

The chair of the committee, Dr. Gilbert Contreras said, “During the spring semester [the committee] comes up with a list of possible speakers. Then we begin to narrow that list down.”

For those who don’t recognize the name, Dr. Arredondo cannot be described in one, or even just several, words.

Arredondo’s humble beginnings, growing up in a ru-

ral city outside of Cleveland, where there were very few Latinos, inspired her to strive for a career working with and for minorities.

She graduated from Kent State University with a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and Journalism. She then went on to earn her masters and doctorate in counseling at Boston University.

Her accomplishments eclipse each other, each one bigger than her last.

She is a licensed psychologist, a certified counselor, the first Latina president of the Chicago campus of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and has been a professor, interim dean and been on the board of multiple community service programs.

She is a published author with over 100 works of various literature published, including a book. Arredondo is the president of several national associations and on the editorial board of several journals.

Most of her efforts go into subjects like diversity in the workplace, immigrant issues, advancement for women and women of color and social justice in general.

Her efforts have been noted and appreciated in the form of several awards, including a Living Legend award, a Lifetime Achievement award and an honorary degree from the University of San Diego.

If you ask her, she just thinks of herself as a social justice advocate and educator at heart.

GRAD - 9

The new beginning for Rodriguez

Desire and ambition has pushed her to graduate with two associate degrees from Cerritos College Denny Cristales Freelance Writer @Den_crist

Give or take a few days from graduation and school is still just as stressful now as it was three years ago for Cambria Rodriguez.

But the history major is managing to transfer out of Cerritos College and graduate despite the juggling game she has been doing since she began community college.

Rodriguez will be walking in the commencement ceremony at Falcon Stadium on May 16 after concluding her communitycollege tenure after three years and receiving two AA degrees.

Jokingly, she still finds the time to procrastinate, she said, even when being bombarded with so many things at one time.

“Everyone says don’t procrastinate,

but I do it anyway,” Rodriguez said.

“I think I do better under pressure.

So, I guess you could take from that, that when you are under pressure, just knowing from my experiences that I do better under pressure, it pushes me to dig myself from out of that hole and rise up better and stronger and quicker.”

Finishing community college has its own challenges, at least for Rodriguez, as she is split between transferring to either Cal State Fullerton or Cal State Dominguez Hills.

She has been meeting with counselors to decide what is best for her and her path.

“It’s scary because I got comfortable here,” Rodriguez said.

“Everything about it [transferring] is scary.”

Regardless, she’ll find a way to accomplish the task the same

way she did with community college: desire.

Being busy, Rodriguez said she is always asked how she manages to go to school full-time with all these things under her belt.

“If you really want it, you’ll make time for it,” she said.

“You’ll do your best to achieve your goals without anything getting in the way. I have a lot of jobs, I do a lot of side things outside of school. Everyone asks me, “How do you do it?” It’s because I want an education.

If you want it, you’ll make time for it. No excuses.”

Jesse Avalos, an anthropology and forensics science major, is a friend of Rodriguez and notes how determined she is in everything she approaches.

“I think she is a perfectionist,” he said.

“She works hard to-

ward what she is working for … I’m sure her vigorous effort and ambition will not go unnoticed.”

She has opted to walk at the commencement ceremony.

Her parents are excited at the thought of knowing that she is graduating, even going as far as throwing a party, but Rodriguez feels it is an unnecessary courtesy.

She still feels like she’s not done.

“I’m just like ‘No, let’s just wait until I get a bigger degree,’ you know? I mean, Associate’s is accomplishing something, and of course it feels good to have something under your belt. It’s another reason why it’s scary. ‘You’re graduating, congratulations.’

And I’m like, ‘No, I’m not done yet.’ I have like six more years of school. It’s barely the beginning.”

Denny Cristales/ TM

Leaving Cerritos: Cambria Rodriguez, history major. She will be transferring at the end of the semester and will be walking at the commencement ceremony on May 16. She will either transfer to Cal State Fullerton or Cal State Dominguez Hills.

Future scientist ready to soar Castro expects to find new research opportunities when he transfers to UC San Diego in the fall Carlos Marquez Staff Writer @TalonMarks

Carlos Marquez/TM

UC San Diego Bound: Egbert Adolfo Castro former Cerritos College alumnus is among the many students who are transferring this semester.

Egbert Adolfo Castro is a Cerritos College student who is among the many who are transferring this semester.

The 20-year-old majors in pharmacological chemistry.

Growing up in Lakewood, Calif., Castro graduated from Mayfair High School and is a first generation college student in his family.

Having an interest in science at a very young age, Castro took many science courses over his time at Cerritos College.

During his time at Cerritos College, Castro was a member of the iFalcon Club, the Scholars Honor Program and a for-

mer officer of the Biochemistry Club.

Among the many good memories he has of Cerritos College, he will always remember the many field trips he and his fellow classmates attended such as a hike at Crystal Cove.

At the end of this semester, Castro will take the big step and transfer to UC San Diego which he believes will help him grow as an individual and get deeper in his major, as he expects to find new opportunities along the way.

“For me, it was really just between University of California Irvine and UCSD, but I felt that UCSD will give me a better experience.

“Plus, there is a lot of research opportunities I look

forward to,” Castro said.

As Castro is moving on to a new phase in his life, he will always keep in mind the enriching experiences he had at Cerritos College.

Some of which include meeting professors that were very helpful, such as Professor Stieber and Professor Henderson, to all the projects he worked on.

“Part of the Scholars honor program lets you work with professors on study projects.

They call it a ‘honors contract’ but is really a research project.

With that program I was able got to work one-on-one with two bio professors researching something new, learning something interesting,” Castro said.

CAMPUS LIFE

I

t’s about that time for the school year to end.

Some students leave, some come back and Counter some are graduating or transferring. clockwise It’s a cycle. Every year the cycle takes someone from bottom else to a different part of life. right: Photos by: Marcella Regardless, all of us understand the campus Penunuri, life. And in that way, we’re all bonded, at least in Daniel Green, some cheesy, poetic way.

Denny Cristales Congratulations to those who will move on. and Pierre Wise.

And a welcome back to those who will come back to the Falcon’s Nest in summer or fall.
