In an effort to encourage communication and strengthen teamwork across campus, President Rajen Vurdien has scheduled a series of Open Forums. The next forum is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 15, at 2 p.m. in room 224. All faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to attend and participate in the discussion.

Save the date on Friday, Oct. 17 for Closing the Latino Opportunity Gap Summit at Fullerton College. Closing the Latino opportunity gap requires a community of invested and informed stakeholders, yet few venues exist for open local discussions as to how we can act together to nurture the ambitions and aspirations of our Latino students, regardless of fiscal challenges. The purpose of this summit is to provide a venue to discuss the many ways in which Orange County schools, leaders, teachers, parents, and community partners can act together to close the opportunity gap for Latino students. This day-long summit rotates each year to a different campus in Orange County, and Fullerton College is hosting this year. 

In an effort to help create better access to health care, a representative will be on campus every first and third Wednesday of the month from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. in the quad, to answer questions about the Affordable Care Act. Health Services also maintains an information board in the lobby of the Health Center to provide students and staff with current, rapidly emerging, information related to the Affordable Care Act. 

 

Save the date: Nov. 11, from 12-1:30 p.m. (College Center 226), for a seminar about Covered California's open enrollment.
