The Bus - Satisfied Customers
The WLAC Shuttle has made getting to class easier for many students.
Here's what they have to say about the bus service:
TAMIS (left) is in his first semester at West, studying forensics and health, and looking to transfer to USC. He takes the WLAC Shuttle to Inglewood. "My car's in the shop, so I take the WLAC Shuttle to school now. It's faster than normal buses, and better yet, it's free!" says Tamis. MINDALAY (center) and her daughter Natalie take the WLAC Shuttle along the Slauson route. Mindalay, a child development major, is in her first semester at West. "It's a big help, because it brings us all the way back to my house. It's fast and easy too," says Mindalay. LORENA is a 1st year undecided major at West. She wants to transfer to UC Berkeley or UCLA, and she takes the WLAC Shuttle to and from her work in Fox Hills. "The bus is great for people like me, who have a busy work and class schedule and need to get to places on time," says Lorena. Valencia (not pictured) drives the bus. When asked how the program seems to be going from her perspective, she replied "it's got a community feel." She sees a lot of "regulars." On the wish lists of students, she said, is that the Slauson route be extended to Rampart for improved safety and that the Palms route go farther North. Earn $$$ For West While ShoppingRalphs has a long-term program in which part of your grocery bill is donated to West. In this program, if one hundred families, each of which purchases $100 per week in groceries, participate in the program, over $10,000 per year would be contributed to the WLAC Foundation. . .learn more

IN THE NEWS
Facebook Shirt Winners Congratulations to West Facebook Fans She'Rylle Gray and Debra Simmons. We now have 403 fans, making Facebook a more valuable media to reach out to our students and others, and to receive their feedback.
Holiday Party: Thurs, Dec 3 @ 12:30 From Lloyd Thomas: It
is my pleasure to invite you to West's annual Holiday Celebration, to be
held this year on the 4th floor of the HLRC on Thursday, December 3,
from 12:30-2:00PM. Jazz Ensemble Director Phil Small and Music Professor
Joyce Sweeney will be available to lead us in song. Dr. Flex will hang
around waiting for someone to ask him to play "Frosty." We're working
with Casablanca Catering, as we did for Flex Day. They will provide the
menu listed below for $15.00 per person--this price is good until
Thanksgiving. You don't have to choose. You can have everything.
Anyone who signs up late at the business office-November 30 or Dec 1,
will have to pay $25. So sign up early! Please make your checks payable
to WLAC Foundation and take them to the Business Office. We need to
get a minimum of 50 reservations in order to make this work.
Dr. Patricia Siever Elected to Board of CCUSD Despite a late entry to the race, Culver City residents elected Dr. Patricia Siever to the Board of the Culver City Unified School District. Dr. Siever is a Professor of History at West and the long-time, former director of the ACT program. Dr. Siever is also very active in leadership roles at West. It is anticipated that her new association with CCUSD will help to further strengthen the ties between West and the schools that surround it.

West's IHSS Program Featured in LA Times The October 27 Los Angeles Times education supplement ran an article titled "Beyond Doctors and Nurses." The article highlighted West's new provider certification for in-home support services (IHSS), which will be free to students "thanks to a state-funded Career Advancement Academy grant." The Times also pointed out West's wide array of training in health-care careers, "ranging from dental hygiene and pharmacy technology to courses for emergency medical technicians and paramedics."
West Hosts Art Exhibit Examining the Shared Consciousness "Newman's Subconscious," a group exhibition of contemporary art meant to stimulate confusion and contemplation on the concepts of shared identity and the nature of the self, will be on display at the WLAC Art Gallery from Oct. 19 - Dec. 4, Mon-Fri from 10am - 4pm.
EMERGENCY CALL BOXES BEING INSTALLED New Technology Improving Campus Safety Although the "smart classrooms" get most of the acclaim, smaller, simpler advancements like the new wireless emergency phone stations also go a long way to making campus life even better. Eighteen solar-powered call boxes are being placed around campus in addition to seven going into the South Parking Structure. With the push of a button, the caller can summon the campus sheriff. The solar-powered call boxes will work rain or shine thanks to their ability to store energy from the estimated 275 sunny days here in southern California.

Faculty and students should be sure they have each other's respective contact information. Please do report any suspected/confirmed case of H1N1 (Swine Flu) to your supervisor/instructor. This information will be kept confidential. Instructors do have the authority to ask students to leave the classroom who are clearly ill. This should be done discretely and students should be directed to the WLAC Health Center (A-9) -- Hours: M,W,Th 8:30am-5:00pm; T 10:30am-7:00pm; F 9:00am-12:00pm. |
