DDDD EEEE LLLL EEEE GGGG AAAA TTTT EEEE SSSS PPPP OOOO TTTT LLLL IIII GGGG HHHH TTTTErish Araneta is a first year college student in the

Publicity Committee and Alpha Gamma Sigma honor

society. She tells us,

"This is my first semester here and I can't believe

how many events, opportunities, and help GWC

offers. I love everything I do at GWC and It's

amazing how I really see the effect that it has on

the campus.” As an active member of the Publicity Committee, Erish

makes media for events and publicizes events to

encourage students to attend. She stresses, “A big part

of going to college is forming those life-long bonds

we'll all treasure. The first step to making these is

looking for others with the same interest as you… I've

met so many amazing people when going to clubs and

I'm honestly so happy that I joined them!”

Kaly Mendoza is a first-year GWC student currently

involved in the Sustainability Committee and Alpha

Gamma Sigma. She is also one of the co-presidents of

the Young Democrats of America club. Like many

students, she understands that being in college online

can be a scary experience.

“ASGWC gives me a way to be involved with the

campus and make connections with people who I

have grown very close to over the past few

months.”

Being involved has helped them greatly and they

encourage everyone to do the same. She tells us,

“Joining ASGWC and other clubs helps you build a

sense of community and be a part of a family who

bleeds with the same passions as you do. You never

have to worry about feeling alone or unsupported

because the people involved in these groups are all

there to welcome you in and help you grow.”

Nardeen Gerges is a first year college student involved

in multiple clubs and committees. Besides being a

member of the Publicity Committee, the Student

Interest Committee, the Student Senate, the Young

Democrats of America club, she is the Black Student

Union President.

“ASGWC has genuinely changed my whole

experience at Golden West.”

She believes it is a great way to connect with other

students, meet new people, and work on projects with

other members. She encourages everyone to join

student government or clubs so that they can have a

way to communicate with people who are focused on

helping out their community.

Marissa Lavezzari is a first-year college

student involved in the College Life Committee,

Publicity Committee, and Alpha Gamma Sigma.

She is also the president of the Baseball Club.

“Over the past few months, I have seen significant

growth in being a more effective communicator and

group leader. Being in ASGWC has connected me

with so many amazing people that work very hard

to better the online campus experience as well as to

achieve their own goals, which has inspired me to

do the same.”

Marissa mentions that joining a committee can help you

make the change you want to see. She advises, “ if you do

not like the events that are being held or how they are

being publicized, join ASGWC so that you have a say in

what is being provided to the GWC community."

Who is Rustler Sam?

OH NO, RUSTLER SAM IS MISSING!

Howdy Rustlers, it's Rustler Sam here! In case you are

new in town, I have been your mascot for 52 years. When

my creator, Tom K. Ryan designed me, I originally had

stubble on my face and a cigarette hanging out of my

mouth. As times kept changing I felt that it was time to

give myself a makeover, so I shaved and quit smoking. I

hope I have made the Smoke Free Task Force here on

campus proud. Anyway, I will always call Golden West

College my home, and I hope to meet more of you soon!


NOW IT'S UP TO YOU TO FIND HIM!
