Student Liaison Mentor & Mentee Outing
Student Government of
Olympic College(SGOC)
*Formerly ASOC*
A NAME CHANGE IN THE MAKING… ASOC will
now be known as Student Government of Olympic
College, or SGOC! This change has come about for
several reasons, the biggest being that when asked, most
OC students were not aware that there was a student
government organization here on campus. All students are
members of the Associated Students of Olympic College,
thus when the student government was referred to as
ASOC, it was not clear exactly who was being
represented, students or student government leaders? The
SGOC is excited about the name change and will continue
to represent the students of OC to the best of their
ability. Keep an eye out for our new logo coming soon!
STUDENT ELECTIONS - Elections for next year’s
student officers are coming soon. If you or anyone you
know is interested in student government, please stop by
the SGOC Office in BSC 118 to pick up an information
packet! And as a plus, Student Government positions are
regular student employees, so it is a paid position.
On February 19, the Student Liaison Mentors
and mentees went to the SeeFilm movie
theater for a lunch and movie event. To
celebrate Black History month, they were
able to watch the movie ‘Race’, which was
based on the true story of Jesse Owens, a
famous track star who defeated all the racial
odds against him and won 4 gold medals at
the 1936 Olympics. Everyone enjoyed the
event and
gave great
feedback
about how
much they
have learned
about the
times when
Black/African
American
people had
zero equality.

Diversity Speaker Series: Aisha Fukushima
Aisha Fukushima gave a captivating and informative performance
on the concept of solidarity through hip hop. She commanded
the BSC North & South Conference room with her powerful
voice and resonating message. At one point, audience members
were invited onstage to freestyle with her! The show ended with
a nice banquet of food samplings from both Africa and the
Caribbean which was prepared by the OC Culinary department
and sponsored by the OC African American & Caribbean
Heritage Club. -Ross Partin, Chrysthel Songco, & Sabrina

man in America. The documentary shed light over the harmful

common
colloquialisms
and even
caused an
audience
member to
recognize the
phrases she

“What’s Next?” Transition Tours
On Tuesday, March 1,
2016, various students
that volunteer with
Multicultural & Student
Programs participated
in assisting with
campus tours for high
school students
around Kitsap County
that would like to transition into college (and ideally, Olympic
College!). Student volunteers were very excited for a chance to
connect with future college students and assist with the process
of knowing what’s available for them on campus. A couple of our
volunteers prepped for the tour the day before by reviewing an
OC campus script to be more knowledgeable of the buildings as
well as did a “mock campus tour” to plan their routes. When the
tours were completed, MSP volunteers ranted and raved about
their experiences with the students and anticipate the next
campus tour they can assist with. –MSP Staff

Latino Student Success Day @ OC Shelton
On March 22 & 23, the OC Shelton Campus, under the direction
of Teresa McDermott and Faviola Barbosa, held the first annual
Latino Student Success Day. Students from Oakland Bay Jr. High,
Choice High, and Shelton High School were able to spend the
day learning about college, especially Olympic College. They
were treated to discussions about goal setting, how to apply to
college, scholarships that are available, played games, ate some
great food, and were able to see how accessible the OC campus
was. –SGOC Staff
