Student Ambassadors wanted for Open House By Zak Haines, editor-in-chief It’s that time of year for colleges. Open houses, college visits, potential new students walking in to view the campus they could attend next spring or fall. It sounds exciting but the school is now asking for its current students to help with the Open House. Admissions is asking for students to step up and become a Student Ambassador for the college for the Open House on November 12th. Students will give tours of the campus and answer any questions if anyone has any. SGO will also be at the Open House and would like to see fellow students helping out. If anyone is interested in becoming a Student Ambassador, please contact Kelly Diego in Admissions with your shirt size. Then arrive on campus at 9:30 AM to prepare for Open House. This Open House will last from 10 AM to noon.

CCC hosts Criminal Justice training event Cayuga Community College hosted the first event of its kind for Criminal Justice training in Region 6, (Central New York and Southern Tier areas). The event, sponsored by New York State Minorities in Criminal Justice, Inc., attracted nearly 150 professionals. “We tried to bring different types of training to people in criminal justice, whether you’re a clerk or a commissioner,” said Vice President of MICJ and sergeant with Auburn Correctional Facility, Marcus Babb ’85, an Alumnus of Cayuga in an interview with a local newspaper. “It shows people what else is out there besides being a corrections officer, police officer or sheriff. It’s also about the secretaries, the judges, the lawyers ... It’s about the minorities in our line of work.” Some of the training included information about programs like Puppies Behind Bars, Crisis Intervention for Gang Violence, and PTSD in the Workplace. Officers from Auburn Police Department,
Sergeant Joe Divietro ’90 and Officer Mark Locastro ’80, both Alumni of Cayuga, were on hand to share information about the APD. Member of the Auburn Fire Department were represented. There were also tables with information about fundraising eggorts in the area. Cayuga student and Criminal Justice major, Angela Slater of Auburn, was presented with a $500 scholarship. “They had to choose one student in the whole criminal justice program at the college, and they chose me… this gives me more confidence to do better,” Slater said in an interview with a local newspaper reporter. “This training gives the students the opportunity to engage and network with professionals, and it’s a great opportunity to house and support our local criminal justice community,” said Associate professor and program coordinator of the Criminal Justice Department at CCC, Teri Misiaszek.
