The California Community Colleges Board of Governors declared Oct. 15 to 19 as Undocumented Student Week of Action in a resolution adopted at its September meeting, held less than 10 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border at Southwestern College in Chula Vista.
The resolution notes that the California Community Colleges is committed to providing an open and welcoming environment for all students, regardless of ethnicity, religion, national origin, immigration status, age, gender, medical condition or socioeconomic status.
“It is imperative that the California Community Colleges, the single largest provider of post-secondary education in the nation, stand up our students, regardless of immigration status,” said Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley. “We are committed to collaborating with community organizations to raise awareness about resources, including financial aid, for undocumented students, and we continue to advocate at the federal level for a permanent resolution to this issue.”
In partnership with the Community College League of California, the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges, the Foundation for California Community Colleges, Immigrants Rising and other organizations, community colleges across the state will use the advocacy week to encourage students to host meetings with members of Congress, offer webinars, workshops and legal clinics for students, call on representatives to work toward comprehensive immigration reform and share resources for undocumented students.
This is the second year the California Community Colleges has called a week of advocating to build awareness and circulate resources for undocumented students.
The California Community Colleges is the largest system of higher education in the nation, composed of 73 districts and 115 colleges serving 2.1 million students per year.

LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Our first grading period, which was six weeks long, ended on Sept. 21.
Students who made it to gold level include Zachary Ashley, Johnny Caldwell, Hunter Chadwick, Stephanie Cuevas, Maya Dittemore, TaNari Dukes, Eric Espinoza, Damon Fieldon, Marisa Gavazza, Malachi Gonzales, Desiree Krebs, Manny Lopez, Oscar Neuman, Katie Roath, Gabrielle Rozelski, Ana Solorio, Madison Winter and Howard Womack.
This means that all students named are moving at a quicker pace than your traditional high school setting.
On a regular schedule, in order to gain gold level status you must have at least 90 percent attendance and earn at least 15 credits.
Going along with this, Zachary Ashley, Christjen Cassells, Hunter Chadwick, Stephanie Cuevas, Eric Espinoza, Malachi Gonzales, Ian Heuton, David Jones, Emanual Lopez, Jordan Manriquez, Maria Pizano, Pawnum Redhawk, Katie Roath, Jett Royval, Gabrielle Rozelski, Jose Salud, Brian Sanchez, Alize Sandoval, Ana Solorio, Kelsey Stephens and Howard Womack. All accomplished a perfect attendance at no less than 100 percent for the grading period.
In addition, another congratulation to Carlos Martinez for winning the CHILY raffle.
We had two activities for collaboration days so far. Our first activity was a transition into how our collaboration days would look like. We had basketball, study hall and cup pong.
Our second collaboration activity was more eventful and included a relay race and a guessing game.
All advisory classes competed against each other. Our winner for the guessing game was Lance Christensen’s advisory, and Christensen and Alan Siegel’s advisories were tied for the relay race competition.
We look forward to having more fun activities in the future. We would like to give a shout out to Gage Thayer for running the relay event.
One of our school events that we have coming up includes student Madison Winter’s play. After Madison wrote the play called “Bamboozled” she held auditions and we now have the official cast.
The cast list is as follows: Howard Womack, Nico Castillos, Maya Dittemore, Caiden Harvey, Adrian Carpenter, Sami Strowbridge, Carlos Martinez, Maya Overstreet, Yoshiko Velasquez and Brian Sanchez.
In addition we would like to applaud Jose Salud, Dezirae Short and Damon Fieldon for their outstanding work ethic and all achieved student of the week.
