Hosting more campus events can foster community
A
bout 16,000 students attend Pierce College, but a look around the Mall may not reflect such a number. Many experience campus life through a computer screen or a quick stop to class before leaving for the week, creating an impersonal view on college overall. Pierce should create more traditions centered around gatherings or special once-asemester events so students can connect beyond their academic life and share social experiences that bridge the gap between new and returning students. According to research done by the National Library of Medicine, 27,965 students across 148 institutions in the United States were recorded to have a higher sense of
belonging due to participation in extracurriculars compared to students that didn’t. Researchers concluded that 16 out of 18 activity types such as group athletics, dancing or social gatherings garnered a better sense of community across factors such as gender, ethnicity and identity. Pierce could use these findings as a reason to invest in events that highlight breaking barriers between students. Hosting formal events, themed gatherings and universal extracurricular events can help the college create more opportunities for students to interact with new peers and fortify campus life that doesn’t depend on class time. Samford University has a tradition where students perform a unique song and dance called the “Step-Sing.” Nearly onethird of 3,000 Samford students are recorded to participate in the annual performance. Growth
Association for Christians in Student Development had centered their study on tradition based from the “Step-Sing,” and found that the 60-year-old tradition had become a “socially connective and culturally rooted” event that passed down the value of fellowship between generations of students. Creating traditions can be a great way for Pierce to develop unity, because it gives something students they can look forward to every year. It doesn’t have to resemble a prom or a homecoming, but it can incorporate various stages of academic life, from a college freshman to a long graduated alumni. Research conducted by Irena Ljubisic (2017) at the Rochester Institute of Technology found that student engagement in college related events yielded a significant influence on a
student’s transitional period post high-school. Participation in these events elevated the feeling of belonging and produced more opportunity for relationships, which was reported to be particularly important during sophomore year where students may experience the “sophomore slump,” a period where students can lose direction and feel most disconnected from college life. Overall, the research highlighted college events as an effective way for students to feel supported throughout their experience on campus. By introducing more events and traditions, Pierce can help students form strong bonds with peers as well as the campus itself, leaving a more involved feeling on campus and a stronger attachment to the college community.
Resume workshops enhance odds for employment
H
aving a proper resume can make or break the chances of getting your dream job. As internship and job application season approaches, Pierce College students are preparing to apply to multiple openings. Regardless of the position being applied for, the majority of applications require a resume highlighting work experiences and applicable skills. To prepare students for this application season, Pierce should expand the College and Career Center’s resources by hosting professional development workshops on how to put together resumes. A resume acts as a first impression for employers to gauge whether candidates are a right fit to move onto the interview process. According to Stevenson University, when sifting through applications “employers are handling numerous resumes and they are looking for mistakes to narrow down the applicant pool. From the resume the employer will decide who they will and will not interview.” Unfortunately, a lot of students are unaware of the importance of their resumes until it’s time to apply. This leaves them struggling, and many resort to generic resume templates or outdated advice. College students are lacking the proper instruction and resources on how to put together application materials, potentially harming their chances of employment. McGraw-Hill Education
conducted a future workforce survey and concluded that “only 37% of students felt confident in resume writing as one of the critical skills needed to transition to the workforce.” If the College and Career Center hosted more workshops centered around helping students put together their resumes, Pierce students would feel more confident submitting job applications as they begin to navigate the workforce. Pierce could bring
representatives from popular job listing websites such as Indeed or LinkedIn to teach students what companies want. Both of these sites have existing resume workshops online. However, it is not the same as an in-person experience. These workshops could provide students with information on how to put together their application materials. Research suggests that professional resume writing guidance can make a significant
difference in career readiness. Columbus State Community College showed “every student’s test score improved from pre to post workshop with an average increase of 54%.” These results demonstrate how effective hands-on resume workshops are at preparing students for the workforce. By expanding the College and Career Center’s resources to include more hands-on resume workshops, Pierce can help students strengthen their resumes and improve their readiness for

Should political posts be fact-checked before going online? PRO: Fact-checking can prevent misinformed opinions
CON: Fact-checks discourage social interactions and discussions
By Lesa Greenfield Sports Editor
D
uring election season, people are constantly bombarded with political ads on TV, through emails, text messages and social media. These ads make all kinds of claims about candidates and are often paid for by opposing parties. While some laws exist regulating political ads, there’s no requirement to fact-check every claim before it’s published. This needs to change. The problem with social media is that people tend to believe what they read without checking whether it’s true or not. They share these ads without verifying claims and before you know it, thousands of people have seen it. By the time the claims can be corrected, the damage has already been done and no amount of factchecking can undo what started with one simple repost. A 2024 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center found that 73% of Americans said they’ve at least somewhat experienced inaccurate election news and 52% said they’ve had trouble figuring out whether election news was true or not. This is a serious problem when many people depend on social media for news, especially during election season. A study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2018 found that false news spread faster and reached more people on Twitter than true news stories. Researchers examined approximately 126,000 stories and found the difference was especially noticeable with political news. This is exactly why waiting to factcheck political ads until after they’ve
been posted just isn’t enough. Even if a correction is made later, there is no guarantee the people who saw the original post will see the correction or believe it. With the prevalence of online media in today’s society, it is no doubt that politicians use this platform to spread misinformation and fearmonger, the practice of making people anxious and afraid as a means of manipulation. The CATO Institute discovered that: “Polls indicate that many Americans believe misinformation is a problem for various reasons. A Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that about 80 percent of Americans believe the spread of false information is a ‘major problem.’” A nonpartisan law and policy institute called the Brennan Center for Justice also highlighted potential issues with election misinformation. False claims about where, when or how to vote can create confusion and make it harder for people to exercise their voting rights. Or worse yet, it could discourage people from voting altogether. People will always have varying opinions about politics, but they should at least have accurate information to base those opinions on. There’s a difference between having an opinion and spreading false information to influence an election.

n a world where information changes by the minute, could mandatory fact-checking prevent people from participating in important political discussions? With the rise of technology and social media, platforms such as KTLA and ABC News have begun publishing information on social media apps such as TikTok. Following platforms like Instagram, Facebook, X and more, people are able to post, comment and have online debates about their political beliefs. If a factchecker were to come online, freedom of expression of the public is jeopardized, along with having a delay in important conversations and potentially creating a bias within the system. Requiring political posts to be approved could discourage many people from wanting to express their opinions. The political environment is extremely controversial on its own, and the public should be able to talk to one another about different events and scenarios, even if they may not be true. If there were to be a mandatory approval, people may not want to go through the trouble of having their posts fact-checked in order to participate in political discussions. As stated in a blog by Americans for Prosperity, a self-governing nation can’t fully function without the people being able to participate in civic discussion, hold their government accountable and engage in conversations on their political beliefs without fear. Additionally, fact-checking systems may start to introduce concerns about
Where do you get your news?
“Honestly, Twitter, it’s up to date and quick. I also scroll through articles on chrome and I follow ABC and FOX on Instagram. ” Daniel Bezman — Biology Major
“It can be social media like TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and YouTube. Through cable news it’s KTLA and occasionally FOX news.” Nikita Ramirez — Kineseology Major
“I get my news from AP News. An old high school teacher introduced it to me and I trust that site. I also read the Roundup newspaper.” Jorge Ornelas — Automotive Tech Major
bias and fairness. Not everyone has the same political beliefs, and with political issues being complicated, many posts are open to different interpretations. When it comes to opinion and personal perspectives, it would be difficult to classify them as being true or false. According to the International FactChecking Network’s Code of Principles, fact-checking organizations should be able to follow standards of fairness and nonpartisanship when evaluating political claims. Even though these kinds of standards help to promote accountability among the public, they also demonstrate how much judgment and responsibility go into deciding whether information receives criticism. If social media platforms had the authority to approve political content before publication, concerns could be raised about fairness, consistency and potential biases. During political events, breaking news can develop quickly and everything can change within seconds. In a 2026 study published in Political Communication, it was found that the median factcheck during the 2022 U.S. midterm elections was released 4 days after a misinformation narrative first appeared online. Although the information posted was incorrect, it took the platform 4 days to register it. If people had to wait for this time, people would move on and not want to participate in political discussions. Political content should not need to be fact-checked before being posted on social media because it could limit the people’s freedom of expression.

Brief: Brahma voting center gives voice to the voters By Natallia Padilla Social Media Editor For the last several years Pierce College has been a popular voting center for Los Angeles County residents. This 2026 general election ballot includes several propositions as well as the contending mayoral candidates Karen Bass and Nithya Raman. For certain voters this election was more than picking their favorite candidates but an opportunity for their voices to be heard on issues that mattered most to them. Anthropology major Sam Tobalsky said when deciding how to cast her ballot her biggest concern had to deal with high prices of goods and services. “I would say one of the most important issues for me this election is the cost of living, not necessarily in an economic realm but in relation to opportunities for people,”Tobalsky said. Tobalsky added that she appreciated the convenience of
being able to vote on campus. “I’m really glad it was here because I needed to vote and I was worried about my schedule. But since it was on campus, it was easy for me to go vote right after class,” Tobalsky said. Having a voting center on campus has provided a convenient opportunity for students, staff and nearby residents to participate in this year’s election. Many took advantage of this by casting ballots in between classes or after work without having to take time out of their schedules. Pierce alumnus Frank Ciprani said that he loved his time at Pierce and appreciates being back on campus. “I came to vote here because I love Pierce, and my house is within walking distance,” Ciprani said. Political science major Isaac Rodriguez said, “ I think everyone should be able to vote to express their own opinions, It’s something that is foundational to democracy and voting is one of the cornerstones of it.”

he Department of Kinesiology and Health and the Student Health and Wellness Center hosted the first annual Diabetes Walk in front of the Student Services Building on Thursday, Oct. 27. The Diabetes Walk included a Zumba routine led by kinesiology professor Susan Armenta, on-site
health screenings, diabetes risk assessments and blood glucose testing. Armenta said that holding an event like the Diabetes Walk more often could benefit students. “If we did this regularly with our campus community, we can help stabilize blood glucose levels, make sure we are getting the exercise and physical activity,
and getting our muscle activity,” Armenta said. The Student Health Center is open from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday.

Dozens of universities help students find an education path By Valeria Estevez Reporter
Red and white balloons led students toward The Great Hall, where universities set up their booths, equipped and ready for students’ questions. The Pierce College Transfer Center hosted 45 universities on Oct. 28, and invited students to stop by to explore transfer options, learn about admission requirements and build connections with universities. Transfer Center Director Sunday Salter highlighted the disarray students may feel when it comes to the university transfer process. According to the Community College Daily, 31% of first-time community college students transfer to a four-year institution. “Most of our students plan to transfer, but a lot of them don’t have the information about how to make that happen. The fair is the perfect opportunity for students to build those important inperson connections,” Salter said. “When they make that in-person connection and representatives make our students’ dreams very real and attainable, we see our students’ eyes light up.” Pursuing higher education can be an arduous process for some students. The lack of information and abundance of questions can unintentionally create an obstacle. Salter emphasizes the importance of students meeting university representatives in person to establish that connection and gather admission
information. “Talking to someone in person makes the process easier. I checked before on their website and it was complicated, when I came in person, it was much easier,” biology major Lynette Trujillo said. According to FirstGenForward, 54%-56% of undergraduate students are first-generation, often the first in their family to pursue higher education. Many of those students paving the way face hardships as they work toward a degree. Hindrances such as debt from not knowing about financial aid opportunities, balancing a job with classes or a lack of stability make it hard to have a smooth journey to a four-year institution. Creating these physical spaces where students can get their questions answered adds to student success. “Most college students don’t have the medium to get answers to any doubts they may have,” business major Alejandra Orozco said. “I’m glad I had the opportunity to get some insight on what universities are looking for in applicants.” Intern Francisco Tayag said college is a key to enhancing someone’s life. According to Lackawanna College, college provides career stability, and graduates are more likely to use critical thinking skills and create positive impacts. “I love participating in this because I feel that higher education is the only way to change the world,” Tayag said. “It starts here. The more students get educated, the more the world will be a better place.”

Brief: ASO concert showcases the music of Stevie Wonder By Mac Kupka Reporter
T
rumpets were blazing through the stage while trombones complimented them as they went. The Associated Student Organization (ASO) hosted a concert in the Performing Arts
Building, with many students singing and playing on Oct. 27. The show was primarily done instrumentally, with 11 songs performed throughout the show. The beginning of the concert was a playthrough by all brass instruments, with trumpets, trombones and a French horn. Next came a fast paced movement performed by a pianist

and two vocalists. There were many times where one or the other vocalist was performing by themselves, along with excitable moments where both were combining into an emotional makeup of powerful vocals. Vocalist Rubi Puente was elated on stage, but noted that it’s difficult for singing, and that you have to truly zone into your part. “In our heads, we almost forget about each other,” Puente said. “You have to do your part, and if it’s right on every end it will come out perfect.” Soon after, there were performances of strenuous solos. One of them finished with a drum solo, and the other had both a trumpet and guitar solo in the middle. There was also a song with scat style vocals throughout, also at a brisk pace. The next few songs were both slower paced, after which it sped up again and led into a climatic song with a piano and two violins. The violins were dueling much of the time, taking moments to be played together at exciting parts of the song. There was a unique song where there were two players on the same piano. This song stopped halfway through to let the audience clap passionately. The last tune of the show was a powerful cover of “Isn’t She Lovely?,” by Stevie Wonder, and had the most individual members on stage at once. Guitarist Jackson Wilson noted
that the choreography between the band is extremely important. “We’ve been growing our talent steadily ever since we first played together,” Wilson said. “And we’ve gained a really cool
on-stage chemistry.” The show was the last performance of the ASO for the fall semester, and it will announce the dates for the shows in Spring by the end of the year.

Review: A wild stop-motion ride 16 years in the making By Abraham Elizalde Online Editor
W
ith some movie studios occasionally cutting corners to release movies faster and focus on revenue, the stop-motion picture “Wildwood” gave us a breath of fresh air and delivered a stunning film with lovable characters. “Wildwood” was directed by Travis Knight and hand crafted by LAIKA Studios who is most remembered for the film “Coraline” in 2009 which was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film. With films having a standard production time of one to two years, “Wildwood” took its time with 16 years to create. The hands of LAIKA Studios was very evident with this movie, having the same striking visuals comparable to “Coraline” but surpasses the film with the modern technology that went into it.
Other than the visuals, the movie was also strong with its story and motive for the main character Prue McKeel who was voice acted by Peyton Elizabeth Lee. The story followed McKeel in the search of her younger brother who was abducted with the help of Curtis Mehlberg who was voiced by Jacob Tremblay. While the film does a good job connecting you to the main cast, it felt rushed in the first act leaving you wondering about the closeness of characters, especially with McKeel and Mehlberg. It is not evident the relationship between them but the movie pushes Mehlberg to make choices that leaves the audience wondering why he would risk so much. Despite being in the genre of fantasy and adventure, “Wildwood” did steal a few laughs from the audience with clever animated movements and well delivered lines from the cast. The film also makes references to modern day society that you could miss if you don’t think twice. A strong aspect of the movie was the realism of certain
scenarios and the choices made by the characters. In most fantasy animated films, the production targets the cast to make questionable choices to thicken the plot and leave the theater wondering “Why would they do that?” Luckily, “Wildwood” was
realistic in their direction and doesn’t have the audience roll their eyes on the silliness of a kids movie. “Wildwood” was released on Friday, Oct. 23, 2026 with a budget of $100 million and has grossed approximately $36 million so far, according to
Fortune. The film is a great family movie to give the kids amazing visuals and fast paced action to keep them focused and deep characters for the adults to fall in love with and keep them on their seats to see where the adventure takes them.

Brahmas start strong but lose to the Cougars in 4 sets By Isaiah Johnson Reporter
T
he Pierce College women’s volleyball team stepped into the Bramadome on Friday, Oct. 30, facing a tough, physical battle against College of the Canyons that ultimately ended in a 3-1 match loss after a hard-fought four-set contest. The Brahmas (5-10) came out with strong energy and steady execution in the opening set, taking the first set 25-19 to establish early momentum and control on their home court. However, Canyons (9-14) adjusted quickly, taking control of the pace early in the second set with an 8-3 lead and rolling to a 25-16 win to tie the match at one set apiece. Set three turned into a tight, back-and-forth battle, locked close at 5-5 and 9-9 before
Canyons began to pull away. The Cougars capitalized heavily on Pierce’s unforced errors, including serves and attacks that went out of bounds, while using attacks from the outside. to separate themselves and secure a 25-16 victory. Facing a 2-1 deficit and dealing with late-match physical strain and injuries, the Brahmas worked hard to regroup and keep their focus on the floor. CJ Suarez noted that the team is at a critical point in the season where they must focus on controlling what they can and moving forward. “We’re at the point in the season where we’re like, okay, we’re going to kind of control what we can control,” Suarez said. “We just kind of got to recollect and enjoy the weekend.” Gars Aintablian highlighted the team’s overall grit and positive mindset despite the tough outcome. “I think that we had fun,”
Aintablian said. “I think that we started strong and we should have finished a little stronger, but I think overall it was a fun game, so I’m kind of happy with how we played.” Zarah Numa added that the squad stuck together through the adversity of a challenging night. “I feel like we started off slow and lethargic in the first set,” Numa said. But I feel like we ended up coming back and we really stuck together as a team throughout to fight for that win.” The Brahmas look to recover over the break, heal up their rotation and make the necessary adjustments to get back on track as the schedule rolls forward. The Brahmas’ last two games of the regular season are away against Antelope Valley College on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 6 p.m. and Bakersfield College on Friday, Nov. 6 at 6 p.m.

T
he Pierce College women’s soccer team secured a hard-earned 3-1 win over Ventura College after battling back through a tough, physical, and demanding match on Friday, Oct. 30. Despite facing a slow start and getting worn down during the opening half of play by the Pirates (6-11-1), the Brahmas (10-6-2) kept their energy high across the entire pitch. “I feel great, I feel great of my team’s effort too,” star player Angeline Mazariegos said. “I feel like none of us gave up towards the end. We all gave it our all even though we’re getting beat up, we still had a lot of energy between all of us and I really love that, nobody gave up.” Head coach Adolfo Perez addressed the squad at halftime, emphasizing the high stakes of the game and keeping players completely locked into the mission. “I told them a lot of things, but one of the things I told them are season’s on the line,” Perez said.
“We needed to win. ‘Seasons on the line. We need to do A, B, C, Y and Z and they came through, man.” Reflecting on the team’s performance, Forward/Midfilder

Throughout the match, both teams traded heavy pressure, but Pierce maintained its tactical focus to overcome early communication struggles and defensive errors.
