The deans of San Jose City College celebrated the spring semester\u2019s registration period beginning with \u201cCoffee and Donuts with the Deans\u201d on Nov. 16 in the Cosmetology Quad, where students enjoyed a snack break with their peers and deans from different departments.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe event is an opportunity to socialize,\u201d explained Yessica Ceda, a cosmetology major.<\/p>\n
The deans and departments present were Business and Workforce Development, Counseling, Humanities, Social Sciences, Arts, Kinesiology and Athletics, Language Arts, Math, Science and Engineering.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe started this as part of ROAR week because we wanted to do something for the students,\u201d Associate Dean for Career and Tech Education Pamila Yang said.\u201cMany times, the deans are cooped up in their offices dealing with paperwork, so this is just a way to give back to our students, staff and faculty.\u201d<\/p>\n
The deans also organized the event to encourage students to apply for the upcoming spring semester.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sooner students register, the sooner they will have a plan for how they will be moving through their educational programs, and ultimately to their career or transfer goals,\u201d Dean of the Business and Workforce Development Division Dr. J. Edward Stevenson said.<\/p>\n
Maria Silvas, another cosmetology student, noted that \u201cthe [cosmetology] program requires us to work 21-hours per week, from 8 a.m to 5 p.m. It\u2019s a full time job.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both Ceda and Silvas said they felt tired but motivated nevertheless to finish their 11-month program, and that the donuts and coffee boosted their energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am tired, so it is nice to have a snack break,\u201d Silvas said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
