their portfolios to guests. Patrick Scullin, instructor of the ADM program, shared that students have been learning skills and acquiring experience for the past two years. Students were required to master a variety of different types of graphic works.
They ranged from brochures, magazines and advertisements to websites and billboards. “It’s really fun to see them develop,” Scullin said. “In the beginning they might start here, but over time they build up and accumulate their work and end up

somewhere else.” Scullin feels that the ADM program is the best kept secret on campus. He explained that students can use their personal interest in art and turn that into a career.

On a windy day in San Mateo, the Riverside City College Tigers once again proved they’re a track and field powerhouse, capturing their eighth California Community College Athletic Association State Championship under the leadership of head coach Jim McCarron. “The two days were an absolute roller coaster ride and very emotional, but the guys stepped up and took the title,” said McCarron in a press release. “We are very proud of them.” This season’s accomplishments marked the 17th men’s and 13th women’s Orange Empire Conference titles for RCC, respectively. RCC’s track and field program has produced 10 state championships and over 500 university scholarships. McCarron and his staff view that legacy as their proudest achievement. On the first day, the Tigers’ top two hammer throwers fouled out, scoring zero points in an event where they were ranked second in the state. “There must be something in the water when we come to San Mateo,” said throws coach Nick Robinson. “It was rough. But we told the guys to shake it off, come back stronger, and they did.”
