Ambassador’s Poker night is an event that was put together to teach LACC
students how to play a game of Texas Hold ‘Em, and more importantly to provide a

Scholarship, Career, and Transfer Awareness

Time:
12:30 – 1:00pm/5-6pm, 1:00 – 2:00pm, & 12:30 – 1:30pm

Description: The purpose of
the Scholarship and Transfer Awareness week is to assist the LACC student bodies
to learn of the various scholarships, financial aid opportunities and University
transfer assistance that are available to them. Many students may not even
realize that obtaining reward money for their academic achievement is well
within their reach. More importantly, we want to help teach students that
certain scholarships do not require a high GPA. To accomplish this, we will be
offering several workshops. It is our ultimate goal to have encouraged enough
students to take advantage of all the resources that Los Angeles City College
has to offer.

American health Care system, focusing on its health insurance and pharmaceutical
industry. The film compares the for-profit, non-universal US system with
non-profit universal health care systems of Canada, the United Kingdom, France
and Cuba. The objective of having this film in our movie series is to help the
LACC student body become aware, if they aren’t already, of the growing problems
of a for-profit non-universal Health Care System. Open discussions of the film
are to start promptly at 7pm.
