On Wednesday, April 24th, Professors Myriam Levy and Jill Biondo as well as students enrolled in Sociology 1, took part in bringing awareness to violence against women. Nathan Carlan, LAMC PE instructor facilitated the Self-Defense workshop. Denim Day is an event in which people are encouraged to wear jeans (denim) in order to raise awareness of rape and sexual assault. The Clothesline Project (CLP) is a program started on Cape Cod, MA, in 1990 to address the issue of violence against women. It is a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women. Click image to view photos from the event. |
A sold out capacity crowd of Child Development students gathered Saturday, April 20th for our annual Child Development Spring Conference held here at LAMC! Bright blue skies, warm sunshine, and a gorgeous Center for Child Development Studies provided the setting for an afternoon of workshops focused on the teacher’s role in meeting the needs of young children. A variety of workshops was offered by faculty members, mentor teachers, LAMC classroom teachers and child development tutors including such topics as: special needs, career and leadership paths, family child care, computer and resume skills, assessments, as well as hands-on experiences with curriculum in science, literacy, math, puppets and toy making. The conference represented a strong team effort and sponsorship by the Child Development Department, the Child Development Center, the LAMC California Early Childhood Mentor Teachers, and the Child Development Club. Following the enriching afternoon of workshops and learning together, the students were gathered for a raffle with generous donations from other members of our LAMC Community: EOPS, Financial Aid, ASO, Child Development Club, Eagles Landing Bookstore, and many current and former faculty members and teachers. This annual event has become a Child Development tradition, and as we reflect on this year’s event, we are already beginning the discussion for next year’s conference, so mark your calendars for Saturday April 19th, 2014!!

While others were vacationing or taking a much needed rest from their studies, SHPE (Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers) student chapter at Los Angeles Mission College traveled to Tempe, Arizona to attend a Regional Development Leadership Conference which took place April 4-7, 2013. Students from various colleges with SHPE chapters traveled many miles to attend this yearly event. The purpose of the conference was to provide Engineering majors with an opportunity to network with engineering professionals, take part in educational workshops, and build leadership skills. Students were placed into groups and presented with interesting case studies. They were asked to formulate solutions to common leadership issues. The group with the most creative and informative presentation would win a prize. We are proud to announce that students from the Los Angeles Mission College SHPE club won the competition! They were given accolades for their presentation which combined video and dynamic speaking skills. The audience was engaged and the SHPE judges deemed them the winners. The students from the SHPE chapter returned from the trip with a new sense of purpose and a passion for Engineering. We want to take this opportunity to congratulate our students from SHPE and wish them well as they continue to grow their club and inspire all Engineering majors at Los Angeles Mission College.By Marina Sangkavichai, STEM Counselor |

The Holiday party this year was fabulous as usual. Employees enjoyed a traditional Italian fare. The reserved tables received mixed reviews but most thought the idea is worth repeating next year. The choir did an outstanding job and the comedian and raffle were a big hit. Let’s look forward to the New Year with renewed energy, thoughts of family and friends and remember those less fortunate who need our kindness. Click image to see photos of the event. |
