“I’m going as a Roman soldier, but more specifically the little guy from “Night at the Museum.” My friend is being the cowboy Jedidiah. We watched [the movie] and I was like ‘you kind of look like Owen Wilson’ so…” - Bailey Waldrep | Theater Arts Production Major

The Indigenous Peoples Day march made its way around the American River College campus on Oct. 9. Bear Jackson, elder of the Shoshone tribe of western Nevada, made it a priority to be at the march. “I took the time off work to share songs, words, dance and to watch our future leaders,” Jackson said. “You must have prayer and singing, it’s what makes us who we are. It’s important to teach it to our youth.”

“We had our space before Davies Hall closed, but our division office was housed [there]. It’s been positive for us, because now faculty hang out in HomeBase, and we really want faculty involved. I would like to be in Davies, closer to our students, so when they get out of class they see the HomeBase.

“Most of my classes are in Davies Hall, so I don’t really know what I am going to do. Honestly a lot of people I can tell already are frustrated, because it’s so sudden as well.” - Rocky Berry | Psychology Major
