EPCC President, William Serrata speaking at EPCC's Town Hall meeting at the Valle Verde campus on April 23.
Brandon Cortez Tejano Tribune A number of issues were discussed at EPCC President, William Serrata’s Town Hall meeting on Monday. From future construction, to faculty, staff and student recognition, Serrata’s hour-long meeting discussed many issues regarding the status of EPCC as a whole. One topic he touched on was the
“Master Plan” set in place for the future. This “Master Plan” consists mostly of major construction happening to multiple EPCC campuses. It can be found online at buildthefuture.epcc.edu and outlines two new Valle Verde buildings, the Academic building and the Workforce building, along with other enhancements to all other campuses. “We had been long overdue on really

IMSE Senior design presentations at Valle Verde
Courtesy EPCC engineering Tejano Tribune El Paso Community College cordially invites all students and faculty to attend the first ever Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering (IMSE) Senior Design Presentations. Engineering students, attending their last semester, in the university are required to take a senior design class. In this class, the students are separated into teams, and a faculty advisor is assigned per team. The objective in this class is for the students to find a problem within a company and solve it. The design experience is applied through a group project
to integrate specifications based upon customer and engineering requirements. Senior class design presentations will be held on Thursday, May 3rd, from 1:30-5:00 p.m. in the “Foyer” area in ASC Building B.
The final results will be delivered as a formal presentation and a written report. If you have questions about the event, contact professor Jesusita Ibarra at jibarr23@epcc.edu or call (915) 831-2735.

Items that can be donated include dry food, wet food, pee pads, lysine and straw. Donations are accepted at any time in the semester.
Jessica Barragan Tejano Tribune The AWCC (Association of Women in the Community College) is sponsoring a Cat Food and Supply Drive to help the large feral cat population in our community. “AWCC takes on a community service project each year,” Reyna Muñoz, AWCC President said. “This year, we decided to help with our large cat population particularly at Valle Verde and the Administrative Services Center.” In this association, they do different activities such as fundraising, workshops, monthly books discussions and general sessions. “Our main purpose is to provide professional opportunities for women and students. But also, for anyone in the college,” AWCC Treasurer and Member, Margie Nelson Rodriguez said. “We have a lot of male members too. We get together and have a lot of fun but we also focus on scholarships, fundraisers and helping community organization.” Rodriguez is also the one who suggested
the idea of the Cat Food and Supply Drive and is currently leading this cause along with other AWCC members. “I feel very strongly that we can take much better care of our cats,” Rodriguez explained. The drive is also meant to help Sun City Cats which is a local Trap-Neuter-Return organization. “We wanted to help Sun City Cats, they’re a great organization that’s not really well known,” said Rodriguez. “They help all the feral or free-roaming cats we have in the city.” Rodriguez explained that they trap feral cats to neuter them and get them spayed. This is done so that there are less feral cats in the future and increase the likelihood of cats having a home or being adopted. Once they are spayed the cats are released. “It is a growing issue in our community and at our college but it doesn’t have to be if we all work together,” Muñoz said. Muñoz stated that while the ARCC is already doing excellent by helping out they are still in need of aid with donations. The drive began in the Fall 2017 and the
AWCC initially decided to accept donations up until the Summer of 2018. However, because of the high demand, they are considering making the drive an ongoing event. “The cat population is very high and even though there is some control now, we still need all the help we can get,” Muñoz explained. The items that are needed for this cause are: dry food, wet food, pee pads, lysine and straw. The items can be taken to any of the AWCC members. Several of the drop-off locations are faculty offices, so anyone interested in dropping off donations are advised to call or email AWCC Board members in advance to make sure that they are available. A list of the AWCC Board members are on the following webpage and it includes their contact information and the EPCC campus they are located at http://www.epcc. edu/awcc/Pages/default.aspx For more information or inquiries, you may contact AWCC President Reyna Muñoz at (915) 831-4079 or email her at rmuno127@epcc.edu.

EPCC police department rattlesnake removal Courtesy EPCC marketing Tejano Tribune Along with the arrival of spring is the end of a snake’s brumation, a type of hibernation that protects them during the cold weather. The EPCC Police Department also reminded us that they have Rattlesnake Removal available at all campuses in the district. This includes a group of volunteers who are trained to deal with and safely remove rattlesnakes. If you encounter a snake at any EPCC campus, you should quickly call the EPCC Police at 831-2200, and if possible, remain to warn others until the Police respond. Many people believe that they will never face this threat, but, as the picture above shows us, rattlesnakes have a camouflage pattern can very effectively hide them from our sight in whatever environment they are.

OPINION
3 May 2, 2018
Shifting the tides, For some of you, the end of the semester is
just that. For me, I feel like I’m saying good bye to the end of another era. Time and time again I have uprooted my life and had to move across the country. I should be a pro by now as I know exactly what to expect. As a child it was easier to have my environment stripped away. Now that I’m older, I know that none of those people were really my friends and I had everything that I needed packed away or in the car. But now, having to move for a third time at the age of 21, saying good bye feels like being hit by a ton of bricks. I’ll be leaving behind people who I wish could grow up with me and the one person who I really wish was my person. After moving to Dallas this summer I'll be transferring to university for my bachelor's degree, even if currently it feels like my only option is clown school, and I’m also planning to study abroad next spring. I will also be reunited with my 7 furry companions who had previously been with me every day of their little lives. I read an interview with Rowan Blanchard who wrote and had her book published by the age of 16. She said that using the word ‘dramatic’ as a common label for teenagers was an interesting one. “People are always saying our feelings are over-the-top, or they’ll say, ‘They’re just being teenagers.’ But we forget that when you’re a teenager, everything is literally happening for the first time. Growing up is dramatic! It’s emotional, it’s sad and it’s really amazing.” Yes, new chapters and adolescence as a whole aren't all about loss. I can't dicredit the beauty of growth and opportunity, I've just never resonated with something so strongly. It really epitomized how I and everyone whose ever felt confused must feel. And it doesn't just stop after you're "grown up." I'm pretty sure when I'm grown up I'm still going to be boggled. Anyway, I know that New Year’s is long gone but for me, 2018 is barely starting. It kind of starts when your routine changes, I think. I have always dreaded the 31st of December. My mom does too, call it learned behavior or what not but I have never wanted to embrace change. I liked how my life was and had few complaints. I wanted change according to my own agenda.
After the tide subsided, it always ended up okay but the initial wave doesn’t suck any less. There was a magnet in my mother's bathroom that said "everything happens for a reason." Seeing that magnet everyday and eventually believing it has kept me sane through several evolving scenes. I may not believe in a God but if there is something I do want to be true, it's that everything does happen for a resaon. Maybe none of this matters and that’s okay. I don’t know your situation or what’s in store for you. I assume that you must have had milestones by now and if you haven’t, you either will or should. I’ve cherished living in new places and knowing that whenever I start over, nobody knows me or my past. They only get to know who is standing right in front of them. That whole notion of moving around and not getting close to anyone isn’t necessarily true. I think I wear my heart on my sleeve more, knowing that there isn’t anytime to waste. But going back to milestones and changes, life does shift tides for you but you also have to swim as fast as you can to get where you want to be.
P.S.
The other night I was with friends until 4 a.m. talking about whatever it is us youngins talk about and I realized how much someone may never agree with your point of view. It's frustrating and it only reminded me how we come into this world as ourselves and will only experince life as such. Going on the trend of change and letting go of people, if I was going to disagree with someone I'm glad it's my El Paso friends. We already have plans to stay up for the rest night and whisk away all of the final projects and tests that are expected of us. The study abroad thing is also going to be with everyone. Up in the air but, from my mouth to God's ears. So, see, it's hard but you can try to surf your way through life.
Hang loose,

What summer movie are you most exited to watch? "I’m super stoked for the new Deadpool movie. I expected Deadpool to come out when it did but I did not expect Cable to come out so soon; maybe in the third one but definitely not the second. I feel like they’re just trying to speed things up but I’m hoping Cable changes his mind. We’ll see."

"I’m looking forward to seeing Ocean’s 8, mostly because it’s an all-female cast. I love Rihanna and Sandra Bullock. They’ve never been in a movie together so I think it’ll be cool. I’m the most excited to see, like in every Ocean’s movie, all of their individual talents."
"I’m very interested in seeing the new Deadpool movie. It’ll be a birthday present to my sister, we are big Avengers fans so we’re super excited. We saw the first one and loved it, thought it was very funny so hopefully we’ll be satisfied with this one too."

Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Spider-Man and company are beginning the fight to save the universe in Avengers: Infinity War. How do they do that? They find ways to prevent antagonist, Thanos from collecting all six infinity stones for his gauntlet. The task at hand sounds tough but nothing will hold the Avengers back from saving all of mankind. The film stars Robert DowneyJr. as Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America and other actors that have appeared in past Marvel films. It is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. The film has a total duration of 2 hrs and 40 minutes with a 86% rating from Rotten Tomatoes. It is listed as a fantasy/science fiction genre if you were to look it up online. An interesting fact I found out from my friend is that the actual project for Avengers: Infinity War began around a decade ago which really blew my mind, but makes sense since a film’s production is the longest part in the making. Getting back on track, the first ten seconds of the film is nonstop action. Every time I watch a Marvel movie, the graphics never cease to amaze me and the use of Robert Downey Jr’s. humor is pure gold. As we all know, he has always had a sarcastic attitude no matter what role he portrays, it’s just his nature. On the other hand, all of the other characters have a normal

and serious point of view. The music in the film was very sparse due to tons of sound effects to make everything more dramatic. Now I must warn, the ending of the film is the definition of a cliff hanger. Obviously I’m not going to spoil it but once you see it you’ll understand why so many people are talking about it. The audience at the opening-night showing was your typical movie audience, quiet and paying close attention to the film so they don’t end up missing an important part.
However, it was actually a half full theater which took me by surprise. One of the things I really appreciated was the silence within the theater. Of all the movie reviews I’ve done this semester, I have been extremely happy and impressed with the audiences I’ve dealt with. All of them have respected other people watching and there is no talking or noise whatsoever, not a peep. To wrap things up, I was very happy with the film. My rating is a solid 5 out 5 stars. Happy viewing, Marvel fans!
J. Cole's new album KOD falls short of impeccable Juan Granados Tejano Tribune
Two years after being brutally dragged through the mud for his last LP, with most critics panning it by citing its sleepy demeanor, J. Cole returns mainstream with a new record breaking album entitled “KOD,” or as he revealed it, “king overdose,” “kids on drugs” and “kill our demons.” Breaking the previous record for the most streamed hits within 24 hours on the Spotify charts, dethroning Taylor Swift, Cole’s titular track kicks off his most conceptually cohesive project to date. Bitterly rapping about how no one is worthy enough to be featured on his LP seems to be the first detour within the album followed by his bravado underestimation of the crazy lives some actors live (I.e. Jack Nicholson). The next track, “photograph,” is one

EPCC Tejanos baseball team loses 37-10 Staff Report
Tejano Tribune
The only good thing about EPCC’s 10-41 baseball record is that at least at this it appeared things couldn’t get much worse. They did. The Tejanos’ already miserable season hit a new low last Sunday after they lost to Odessa College by the
score of 37-10.The loss, which dropped EPCC to 10-42 overall and 6-26 in the Western Junior College Athletic Conference, was their most devastating of the season. This is in a season that includes other losses by the scores of 23-0, 23-0, 21-1, 14-0, 16-2 and 19-5. It was 16th time this season that the Tejanos had lost a game by at least 10 runs. In the 37-10 loss, Odessa erupted for 28 runs in the
third inning alone. It wasn’t until the 18th batter in the inning that EPCC was able to record its first out. The Tejanos will close the 2018 season this weekend with four games at Frank Phillips College (16-35 overall, 11-21 in conference). Both doubleheaders, this Friday and Saturday, will get underway at noon (El Paso time).

jazz, ballet, hip-hop, and abstract-style dancing. EPCC Dance Instructor, Christina Mitchell, explained the concept behind the show, “We’re exploring the idea that time and space is continuous and nonstop, the Earth, ourselves, humans, we are constantly moving. Especially when we’re living in cities. We have traffic, we have interactions with each other day to day. We all have a heartbeat; we all have our own breath rhythms. So we’re all in this state of constant ‘ongoingness’.” Student choreographer and Canvas Dance President, Daniel Garcia, created an abstract ensemble, Feline, which he describes as being about alter egos. According to Garcia, the introspective aspects of the piece are inspired by the movement of a cat” and peeks at “the person no one sees.” Garcia presented Feline at this year’s American College Dance Association (ACDA) conference hosted by Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. Another dancer who will be featured is Ashley Fanning, an EPCC student who also teaches color guard at Pebble Hills High. Fanning has attended the ACDA conference for the past two years and is excited to be performing a routine about “internal conflicts” which she personally choreographed. Fanning describes her piece as abstract and, “something very different from what I’m used to doing.” In addition, Saul Martinez and Chandell Molinar will be showcasing their duet on depression in adolescents.

“It’s about this guy that’s’ trying to help this girl who has depression. When you have something like that there’s not much you can really do but he keeps trying,” Molinar, who initially pitched the concept to Martinez, said. The duo choreographed the routine together incorporating each of their unique styles over a three-month period. Molinar, with a background in ballet and tap from Champion Studios, recently joined a local dance company and uses her experience to teach children.
Despite the excitement of many students, this show is sure to carry bittersweet undertones, as Mitchell is retiring this semester from her position at EPCC. She, along with Dance Coordinator, Sara Jackiewicz, have worked with students since January to create Architects of the Infinite Groove. When speaking of her students Mitchell said, “It’s exciting to see them grow and to see them do what they love on stage.”

EXERCISE TO RELIEVE STRESS Working out is one of the best ways to help sharpen your mind and release stress. When you exercise, it releases chemicals into your body that calms you down and allows you to cope with your anxiety. It doesn’t have to be anything that is too intense, but it shouldn’t be anything t oo easy for you to do. However, it is something that you should take the time to do. You can walk, run, swim, or ride your bike for half an hour, five times a week. From there you can increase your overall well-being and improve your emotional state.
