with the promotion of diversity. One resolution was focused on creating
a safe space to pray.
Jesus- SSCCC wants to implement a $2 rep fee for all CCC’s and the
second dollar would go to SSCCC.
Onjoli- California Treasurer John Chiang was the keynote speaker and
encouraged students to have great friends and to be a great friend. It
also doesn’t hurt to befriend students in finance. Cuyamaca already has

it.
