ISC Activities
This month the ISC teamed up with the Arts department to hold a concert. We rearranged the lounge to focus attention on the performance area and student performers set a stage with amplifiers, microphones, and instruments including a drum kit, electric guitar and bass, and keyboard. As the artists took the stage, we were treated to a broad range of musical genres. Patrons heard musical styles including jazz, opera, pop, and rock performed by “The Labradours”, “Annie”, “Heejin Son”, “Blue Mason”, and “Max Lual” respectively. In addition to the musical arts, students enjoyed pie and coffee provided by Pacific Dinning. We had a blast and can’t wait to see everyone at the next event “Holiday Karaoke” in December.
Honors Transfer Program
The Citrus College Honors Transfer Program is designed to increase the available opportunities for highly motivated students.
