Senior citizens from Pasadena’s Madison Jobe Senior Center recently dropped by for “pampering” at Central Campus. Culinary arts students prepared lunch for them and cosmetology students provided free hair styling.
Kudos to all the Central Campus people who helped to make the event a huge success, including Kay Richardson, Consumer Services Department Chair; David Vanover, Interior Design Program Director; Ernest Becerra, Culinary Arts Program Director; Marsha Smith, Cosmetology Adjunct Instructor; and Kathy Burris, Consumer Services Senior Administrative Assistant.
North Campus Provost Dr. Bill Raffetto spearheaded the recent Read Across Campus in conjunction with the National Education Association’s Read Across America initiative.
Approximately 1,200 “leisure” reading books were donated by San Jacinto College faculty and staff for the Read Across Campus project, which enabled San Jacinto College students to drop by and pick up books for free. (More …)
A Social Networking Happy Hour will be held Feb. 17 from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Kaleidoscope Room (101), located in the ILC at the South Campus.
Come and get tips on navigating the professional social scene.
Hors d’oeuvres and drinks will be served. Professional dress is encouraged.
Space is limited, so RSVP by email to brittany.bonds@sjcd.edu.
The event is sponsored by the Career and Employment Center, Orientation and Campus Tours, and the Office of Student Engagement & Activities.
The year 2015 was truly amazing at San Jacinto College. Some key highlights included a record number of graduates, completion of construction on the new Maritime Training Center, and approval of a $425 million bond measure to fund new facilities and renovations.
Congratulations to all of the students, faculty, and staff for your many achievements and accomplishments.
Building gingerbread houses, a popular holiday activity, became a means for San Jacinto College pastry arts students to improve culinary skills in a recent class project.
“During this time of year, pastry chefs all over town create gingerbread houses and villages,” commented San Jacinto College pastry chef instructor Andrea Huerta, who conceived the concept, and coordinated the gingerbread house village class project. “Gingerbread house displays are commonly found in country clubs and hotels and it’s always the pastry chef that creates them. Putting together an entire village is quite an undertaking, and I wanted my students to build a village as a way of getting hands-on work experience.”
The pastry arts students created their individual houses, which collectively were grouped as a village, entirely from scratch. “They were not permitted to use store-bought kits because kits are more expensive than making everything from scratch,” said Huerta. “That’s what would be expected in the industry, as restaurants are always watching their bottom line.”
Each student was individually responsible for the entire house-making process, which included making the dough, portioning, rolling, baking, creating a design template, assembly and decoration. The class as a whole collaborated to create the village, which was on public display for a week.
The San Jacinto College Men of Honor mentoring program was well represented at the recent Spring 2015 commencement. In photo above, North Campus Mentor Dr. Jerry Wallace (at far left), and Central Campus Mentor Leander Nash (at far right) bracket a group of high-achieving Men of Honor students, including (from left) Myron Crawford, Dana Raysor, Justin Hollins, Andre Simon, Gustavo Garcia, and Wilson Moore.
Kudos to Men of Honor Director Ron Hopkins and all of the faculty and staff members who help to positively influence others through the outstanding mentoring program. In addition to Wallace and Nash, Men of Honor mentors include Ronald Burnett, Jonathan Greene, Lindsey Dixon, William Jones, J.D. Mota, Benny Jenkins, Stephen Reynolds, Dr. Jerrel Wade, Felipe Romero, Nate Wiggins, Eric Tinsley, Dr. Lamar McWaine, Ramiro Contreras, Michael Fulton, Richard Turner, Gabriel Rodriquez, Louis Dorsey, Joseph Hebert, Eugene Bernard, Kevin Hale, Dr. Alexander Okwonna, Anthony Green, Adam Rogers, Ralph Penn, Dr. Greg Smith, Jimmy Sims, and Dr. Roger Watkins.
