Welcome to The Gaucho Agenda. This podcast covers events of interest on campus
from Friday, November 15th-Thursday November 21st.
Friday and Saturday, the GCC Creative
Writing Department is hosting the Arizona Poetry Society’s annual conference.
Planned events begin Friday evening and continue all day Saturday and include:
workshops, panels, and open readings. So, if you would like impress your date
with your intellect, or publicly declare your admiration for him or her,
consider attending. It will be held in the Student Union Queen Palm Room;
that’s room 104D.
GCC Career Services reminds you: “Now is
your time to shine and land your next job”. This Monday, they are having
another session of the popular workshop, “Winning Interview Techniques”, from
11am to 12:30, at the Career Center which is just north of the Student Union.
Please RSVP to Dayna Mathews if you plan to attend.
Have you ever thought about having
really short hair? Think you could rock that look even better than Michelle
Williams? Well, this Tuesday, Locks of Love will be on campus for a hair
event/ponytail donation. Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that
provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States
and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any
diagnosis. So, stop hiding behind that hair and get behind a worthy cause
instead. Donate to Locks of Love, Tuesday, from noon to 6pm, outside the
Student Union.
If poetry isn’t your thing, but you do
like to write, enter the Creative Writing Slam this Wednesday, November 20th,
at 7pm, at the Student Union. You may pre-register or register at 6:30pm the
day of the event.
If you need inspiration, stop by the
sculpture exhibit, “Monumental Misconceptions” also in the Student Union, Room
104D. These Ancient Egypt- inspired works by artist Greg Patrenos incorporate
modern elements such as circuit boards and neon lights. The show continues
through December 5th, and we have posted photos of a few of
the monuments here.
Last, but not least, in sports news this
week, the Gaucho volleyball team will be playing in the National Junior College
Athletic Association Championship, yes- that’s the national championship, November 21-23, in Toledo OH. The Gauchos
became NJCAA Region I champs when they defeated Phoenix College last Saturday. Good Luck to Coach Lisa Stuck, her assistants, and the
Gaucho volleyball team. Have a great week, everyone!
