It’s our campus, it’s our problem.
Just as the budgets available to California Community Colleges and our campus itself continues to change all around us, so does the staff of the Roundup in time for the spring semester.
With a new and returning team of writers, photographers and editors our goal is to provide the student body and faculty with the most up-to-date news concerning Pierce College.
We are committed to providing our readers with an in depth look into the beautification projects around campus, Los Angeles Community College District decisions, any breaking news requiring immediate attention and options for food (now that the Country Café has been demoed).
We, at the Roundup encourage you to ask questions and rely on us to provide you with enough knowledge to formulate your own answers.
Where is our college president?
Do you know that she is currently the acting president at our sister school, Los Angeles Mission College?
How much is the construction around campus costing and where is the money coming from?
Did you know that much of the money used for the construction to each school in LACCD was wasted due to issues occurring with each project that had to inevitably be corrected?
These questions are important.
Not only will we be addressing the aforementioned, but while doing so we will act as a safe collected space to question those in authority who steer our learning opportunities and the goals we dream of accomplishing here.
In addition to news the Roundup covers arts & entertainment events, showcase interesting things and people on campus, cover Brahma sports and give recognition to everyone that makes a difference at Pierce.
Our online website is updated daily with photos, multimedia, new stories, while the print edition is provided exclusively to Pierce College on Wednesday mornings.
It is our hope that we can assist in making each student more knowledgeable of what is going on around them in the place where they spend the majority of their time.
Students at the college level should take concern and be informed in what is directly affecting their education. The more informed we are, the better we are able to change what we are dissatisfied with to improve our situations, and the stronger our desire is to do so.
This campus has so much to offer its students, more than what you may know is available to you.
Our commitment is to bring these opportunities to your attention to improve your career here at Pierce.
We welcome any thoughts and opinions in letters to the editor, which we run weekly in either print or online.
