Sacramento Legislative Seminar
|
On March 2-4 of this week, I'll be in Sacramento with 18 Fullerton College students attending the Sacramento Legislative Seminar with POSC 180 - Capital Field Trip. We'll be meeting with our state legislators, lobbyists, journalists, legislative staff, and policymakers. We'll also get a chance to be a part of the "March in March" - joining with hundreds of other students to advocate for increased funding for higher education in California.
I'll be back in the Honors Office on Thursday, March 6th and our staff is available to help you in my absence.

After Tiller - Film Screening
|
 | |
After Tiller Official Trailer 1 (2013) - Abortion Documentary HD
|
"In 2009, Dr. George Tiller of Wichita, Kansas-one of the only doctors in the US who performed third-trimester abortions-was gunned down in his church. He was the eighth abortion clinic worker to be assassinated since the Supreme Court passed the Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion, in 1973. There are now only four doctors in the country-all former colleagues of Dr. Tiller-who openly provide late abortions, a procedure considered highly controversial even among those who consider themselves pro-choice. AFTER TILLER weaves together revealing interviews with the doctors with intimate scenes from their private lives and inside their clinics, where they counsel and care for their vulnerable patients. The personal and moral struggles of several of these women are revealed, forcing us to step into the shoes of both patient and practitioner as they confront the full complexity of each decision." The Political Science Club and Sociology Club are co-sponsoring the Film Screening and Panel Discussion of "After Tiller" Monday, March 10th
3:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Room 1440
All students, staff, and faculty are invited. |

Alumni Mentor: Brenda Dominguez, USC
|
My name is Brenda Dominguez and I transferred last Fall to the University of Southern California to major in accounting after graduating from Fullerton College with an Associate in Science for Transfer in Business Administration degree. One of the biggest reason for me to transfer to USC was the variety of resources it offers to its students. Additionally, USC's accounting school is one of the best in the world. When I transferred, I was awarded a Transfer Merit Scholarship as result of my strong academic performance and extra-curricular efforts at Fullerton College. Thus, I encourage every student to work hard in order to transfer to their dream school. Speaking of transferring, I have to say that it can be overwhelming especially because you start taking classes with sophomores or juniors who are already friends. Nevertheless, the Trojan Family will welcome you very quickly. Plus, USC organizes events that ease the transition. As far as the present, this semester I became the Chair of Activities of USC's Accounting Society. Seriously, the more time I spend at this university, the more I love it! So if you are interested in learning more about USC or transferring in general, please don't hesitate to contact me!
