No Comments on Ready to Graduate? Your Guide to Applying for Graduation at Ventura College

Ventura College Overview

The City of Ventura is currently home to 109,527 people. Astonishingly, it’s estimated that 10.76% of the city’s residents are enrolled at its public community college, Ventura College This institution for higher learning is part of the Ventura County Community College District, including Oxnard College, and Moorpark College. In 2024, the 112-acre campus was home to 11,789 students, with 3,383 full-time and 8,406 part-time students. Recent modernization initiatives have provided funding for much-needed updates to the college’s infrastructure and online student portal, making this college a top choice for those currently in the workforce, and returning to school to advance their careers.

Nestled at the foot of the Topatopa Mountains, and only 5 minutes from the Ventura Beaches.

For those who wish to transfer to a 4-year institution, academic programs offer plenty of pathways to continue studies in popular majors like Business, Psychology, and Sciences. They also offer trade programs for automotive mechanics, manufacturing & welding, and agriculture or water science. 2-year programs are also available and popular choices include nursing, criminal justice, child development & early education. Smaller class sizes offer students a personal feel to students, and student support programs are available to aid in success.

It’s unique and affordable.

It’s flexible and doable.

Hang that piece of paper that society insists you have on your wall.

Going into this semester I knew I checked all the boxes needed to earn my A.S. in Social Media Marketing. No one tells you that you need to apply for your degree.

I almost missed the deadline.

You won’t though, because here’s the how-to guide on applying for graduation (associates or certificates) at Ventura College.

Understanding the Process

Meeting with an academic counselor each semester will help you stay on track and reach completion. The admissions office can assist with applying credits taken at another institution. Academic counselors are also available to help you decide on a career path or help with Academic renewal, probation, or other situations that you may encounter.

Eligibility Criteria for Graduation

It’s important to understand the course requirements for completion of your program as defined by the college. I recommend visiting the Program Mapper page located on the Ventura College website. Locate your program, then compare your unofficial transcript with the program map. If you have checked all the boxes by the end of that semester, you’re ready to start the process (If not, then at least you know what courses remain for you to complete).

Key Dates & Deadlines

Although there is no official deadline to submit your application, there is a cutoff date to participate in the Graduation ceremony. I recommend checking the student calendar for any information about deadlines. It is also good to know when the ceremony will take place in case you need to request a date off of work or want to invite people. Holidays or office closures will also be listed to avoid unavailable staff.

Step-by-Step Guide

A staff member of the academic counseling department is the correct person to engage at this point and you can find more information here VC Website Link.

I’ll save you a click.

Call (805) 289-6457 or make an appointment through your MyVCCCD portal by clicking on Starfish

Graduation application deadlines are listed in the Registration Calendar

Starfish is located in your MyVCCCD Portal as shown below:

Schedule an appointment by using the online tool:

Select a reason for the visit: Apply for a degree or certification

Select a Counselor – I recommend choosing one that specializes in your program of study

Make an appointment – remote meetings are available!

You will review your transcript with the counselor and they will confirm you have met the requirements. Shortly after the meeting, they will submit the application on your behalf, and ask if you would like to participate in the graduation ceremony. You will then receive a confirmation email with more information about your application.

The process is quick and as long as you complete your current classes in your field of study with a C or better, you’re qualified. A third party will send you your diploma or certificate about 8 weeks after the end of the semester.

Preparing for the Ceremony

You will receive an automated email from Ventura College that asks if you would like to participate in the ceremony. You can request up to 4 tickets, and children under two do not require one to enter. The email will contain all the information about buying your gown, which is about $50.

Resources and Support

If you have any questions, you can always reach out to the academic counseling office and they can do their best to assist you, or point you in the direction of the correct department on campus.

Conclusion

Congratulations. The most important thing about this accomplishment is you completed something you started. The pathway to completion is available on the user-friendly program mapper and support is available at the academic counseling office. I wish you luck on your continued education and I hope you find this guide helpful when your time to apply for graduation approaches.

Stay current by following the VC Social Instagram page or sharing it with friends. Ventura College is host to one of the only social media marketing programs, we appreciate your support and engagement.

Cheers to the next class of students in this program and many more in the future.

Your Needs & Our Needs

Happy Earth Day(week) 2024 Folks! 💚

One Bowl, One Spoon…

_{(photo by Alev Takil)}

What do you think about One Bowl One Spoon Living? Does “one bowl, one spoon” 🥣 resonate with your practical experience and beliefs? Can we all eat from the same spoon, the same bowl, the same watershed, the same planet? Ideally, yes we can and we do. However, practically speaking, our mobility and the time and spatial scales of our perception blind us to the reality of one bowl, one spoon.

Our groundwater contamination today may move so slowly that our grandchildren may suffer after we are long gone. Do you love the idea of sharing as much as you find implementation of one bowl one spoon thinking painfully impractical? If so, I feel your pain. May I empathize with your situation more?

Emerging from COVID, most people insist on their own spoon and their own bowl to make sure we aren’t the next ones to die from contagion or at least don’t get inconvenient viruses. Yet how many millions of plastic spoons, bowls, and even gloves have been added to the Pacific Gyre Plastic patch since 2019? If that plastic shows up in the fish we eat as microplastics, that’s bad and sad. So can we agree we need convenient ways to expend less plastic and also keep it out of our oceans?

How can we correct and atone for our and our family’s pollution-sins of the past? Separation for the sake of survival and convenience was important to help us get through the short term emergency of the COVID Pandemic. We survived.

2024 presents longer term threats; slower moving train wrecks. Our emissions of Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), r410a refrigerant, sulfuryl fluoride, and other Greenhouse Gases have intensified our weather and our climate. Storms arrive with more intense rain, more powerful winds, droughts last longer with lower humidity and higher maximum temperatures … and in some cases lower minimum temperatures. Bursting water pipes in surprise Texas freezes caused by an unstable jet stream remind us how Climate Change is a more helpful term than Global Warming. Does your (and our) behavior contribute to the Climate Emergency? Can your (and our) choices make a positive or negative difference that is significant? Our tragic, common “too small to matter but too common to not matter” reality of burning and releasing GHG’s merits attention: what we do DOES matter to our climate here, now, and in the near and distant future. Our example to others matters in our community and there are more personal, immediate effects.

As one of 8,000,000,000 people on Earth, can anyone seriously say that a monthly burning of $70 of gasoline, $70 of natural gas for water heating, cooking and clothes drying makes any significant difference to solve our current Climate Crisis? While I admit it is difficult to grasp, the answer is “Yes.” I believe it does make a difference. COVID helped show how. Combustion byproducts from natural gas cooking and clothes-drying have a real effect on millions of asthma victims. People exposed to higher levels of combustion byproducts, including particulate pollution, for longer durations died and experienced complications from COVID at significantly higher rates. Hypocrisy results when we are forced to choose between inconvenient results and convenient bad behavior. Most people choose what is convenient…particularly those who earn less or those who possess less wealth…but also those who have so much income and/or wealth that they are unaccustomed to being held to account for their impacts on others.

We are constantly rewarded when we respond quickly and early to opportunities as they arise, with seemingly no time to pause to observe and consider the effect of our exhaust. The struggle is real. With pressure to do more, stay up later, yet still arrive to appointments on-time it is so common to feel that pressure to drive what ever car we can afford. With electric cars generally costing over $20,000 used and over $40,000 new the shift from gasoline to battery-powered is challenging, with or without range anxiety. The financial barriers to converting are significant and compelling. More financially accessible options include:

$7 to eat a meal (or cake+ice cream?) with less meat, fewer food-miles, and/or prepared with 100% Renewable Clean Power Alliance electricity…you know, compassionate eats.

$70 +/- induction plate to cook with Clean Power Alliance 100% renewable electricity,

$700 e-bike to commute carefully with commutes twice as long as car commutes,

$70 monthly bus pass with commutes that involve meeting new friends on the bus,

$700 electric clothes dryer,

$700 upgrade for your home/apartment’s electric panel to power electric dryer &/or car charger,

$70-700 of air-sealing and insulation improvements,

$700+ portable dual function heat pump air conditioner plus heater with air filters,

$70 Lyft or Uber rides where you specifically request or select electric only options.

$170 or less on a good pair of running shoes (good for you and your planet!).

FREE and FUN: collaborate with your neighboring renters to lobby your land-lord’s conversion to 100% Renewable Clean Power Alliance Electricity.

May I challenge you to cut your CO2e in half every year? Meet your needs, while considering Our Earth Community’s needs. If you do, you might just learn valuable expertise and meet interesting friends to help you build a more compassionate and abundant reality for you and those you affect. When it gets challenging, please know I feel it too and reach out to friends to talk about your struggle and successes.

May you Balance2thrive®

Diversity in Culture Festival

Post author By Isabella Ruiz
Post date April 24, 2024
No Comments on Diversity in Culture Festival

The Ventura College Diversity in Culture Taskforce is committed to recognize, celebrate, and promote awareness and appreciation of the value of diversity at our college and in our community.

Diversity in cultural festival is an event that takes place every year at the Ventura college some time around april. The festival’s main goal is to create and provide awareness as well as understanding of diversity both globally and locally. This festival enables the opportunity to promote, connect, present, display, and to engage with staff, faculty and the students. Diversity stands for including people from a range of different ethical and social backgrounds and genders. Diversity is a space for equality amongst each and everyone one of us. Culture means the different ways of life including arts, beliefs and institutions of groups that get passed down from generation to generation. All of these concepts together create diversity in culture.

Arts Department: Ceramics Class selling pottery at the festival

What was your experience throughout the festival and what did you enjoy the most?

Cory: “Our experience was positive throughout the festival. We had a good time walking through and saying hello to the vendors ,and decided on 2 booths that we wanted to do interviews for.”

Sydney: “My experience was positive and I believed I learned more about the community surrounding me in Ventura County. I enjoyed interviewing 2 vendors who were selling their unique products that were handcrafted by them. It was not that crowded so it was easier to guide my group through the different vendors and have our chance to interact with them.”

Mixtli: “My experience at the diversity and cultural festival was a good experience. I enjoyed walking around campus while listening to the different poetry slams presented at the festival by different participants. As well as looking and appreciating the vendors at the event that bring out their unique art pieces to sell. My favorite part of the festival was probably seeing the participation of the community that actually took the time to stay at the festivals and also the ones that participated in the festival. Furthermore in future festival i would really like to see more vendors.”

Bella: “My experience at the Diversity in Culture Festival was an overall great experience. I was able to fully enjoy the event at Ventura College and get an understanding of how important it is on being informed in different cultures through music and dances. Also experiencing my first poetry slam and heard people’s personal writing was inspiring. My favorite part of was being to see how lively the campus was during the festival as well as seeing vendors show support to our school.”

IG: @francescopalmieri_us

What will you anticipate for the future festival at Ventura College?

Cory: “I am hoping for many more diversity festivals in the future that include different cultures in a more intimate way by solo events that highlight different nationalities.”

Sydney: “I anticipate more diversity festivals that have more vendors with even more cultures to highlight more ethnicities and other groups at the college. I think it will be a great opportunity for the college to have more exposure to, as we could perhaps get an even more inclusive and accurate representation of the county’s community.”

Mixtli: ” Furthermore, in future festivals I would really like to see more vendors.”

Bella: “Overall from a student perspective it was a fun way of learning and getting to know more about the different cultures. As well as getting to see more vendors in the future”

Nature & Outdoors

Backpacking Essentials

Do you enjoy camping and hiking, well backpacking is a combination of both of these. To start we’d need to begin with collecting our gear for the trails. In this instance, we shall say we are backpacking at the Punch Bowls in Santa Paula.

1. Backpacks

We will have to start off purchasing our pack before we start buying anything since this will be where you put all the gear you need. It’s important to have a backpack that feels comfortable for you. This means all the weight from the pack should be put on your hips. You can always go to a store where you can get fitted for a pack by someone who has backpacked before. A weekend pack will be ideal for a starter pack.

2. Backpacking Tents

Now we need to look for shelter these tents aren’t the tents you typically use when camping these are going to be lighter. These tents are intended to be lighter because we will have to carry our tent in our pack. Typically the lighter the tent the more expensive they will be. You can also do a two-person tent with your friend or significant other if you are trying to split the costs. There’s a variation of tent brands from Nemo to REI, MSR and more.

3. Sleeping Pads

Sleeping Pads are needed to keeping you above ground to sleep comfortably and not constantly cold from your body trying to absorb the cold ground. There are different lengths and widths to buy from which depends on how tall you are. They have the mummy shape, I have and bought it from the resupply from REI. You also don’t want to forget to buy a pillow so you can sleep comfortably.

4. Sleeping Bags

Sleeping bags have two different types of insulations synthetic being affordable but also heavy and bulky since they won’t compress done as small as down will. Down sleeping bags are made from goose feathers, very lightweight, compressible and will be on the pricier side. There are four different shapes to choose from mummy, semi-rectangular, rectangular, and quilt. It’s all preferences to how you want to sleep because a quilt will feel like sleeping with a blanket. As for a mummy sleeping bag, you might feel restricted especially if you are a crazy sleeper. Temperature wise getting a three-season sleeping bag would be ideal.

5. Water Filters

Having a water filter is ideal, especially when you are near water streams. Having a squeeze filter is practical at least for me because I can use the bag they give for my dirty water. Then squeezing the the clean water into my Nalgene. There are different types of of filters like bottle filters, purifiers, straw-style filters and squeeze filters.

6. Chairs

A backpacking chair is ideal for being comfortable when sitting down near the campfire. You can also use a stump or a rock but you might not find one near your campsite you can use. Backpacking chairs have different varieties of materials to choose from the lighter they are the more expensive they will be. Having lighter gear will only make it easier on you but will also me you can pack more in your backpack as well.

7. Camping Cooksets

It’s essential to have a spoon or spork with you which makes it easier to eat your dry food. There are different types of materials that cook sets are made from that are lighter from each other. This is typically what you use on your backpacking stove.

8. Backpacking Stove

Backpacking stoves are what you are going to need to cook your water for your dry food, and water for your coffee or tea. There’s also different sizing which depends on how big you want them especially if you are going with more people or if you are going solo, something smaller would be ideal. You’ll also need your propane.

9. Insect Repellent

Insect repellent is more important when it’s hot out and the mosquitoes come alive looking for their next victim to attack. There are different forms of insect repellent from the spray to the wash and the lotion. The lotion seems to be the most effective for me.

10. Camp Trowel

Second to last, you will need a poop trowel just in case you need to go in the woods. Make sure to have some handy toilet paper as well as digging a proper hole.

11. Packing Your Pack

Finally, we have all that we need it’s time to pack your pack, the lightest things will go at the bottom like your pillow, and sleeping bag that should be put into a compression sack and sleeping pad. The heavier things will go in the middle which is closer to your body like a tent, backpacking stove, or cook set. The top can be filled with any things left over, like your dry food, base layers, first aid kit, headlamp, portable charger, hygiene items (toothbrush and deodorant), snacks that can be put in dry sacks with your water filter and your poop trowel should be in a Ziploc bag. On the outside side pockets, you’d want to put your poles for your tent and your Nalgene’s.

Are you planning to go backpacking or have you done so already? Let us know what your backpacking essentials are, as well as any tips and tricks for backpacking, in the comments section.

Cultural Curation at it’s finest: The Dated ‘N Faded Experience

Post author By Kassandra Olguin
Post date April 8, 2024
No Comments on Cultural Curation at it’s finest: The Dated ‘N Faded Experience

Image depicts the market’s March event linked from dnfmarket

From nostalgic toys to hip hop dancing, the Dated ‘N Faded night market is not your typical pop-up event. Vendors, performers, and attendees from and around Ventura County come with eagerness looking for the next big thing. Dated ‘N Faded is a free night market open to all ages and is hosted every 3 months at Ventura’s Topa Topa Brewing Co. With about 40 vendors of all sorts, this night market builds its own cultural curation through live entertainment, fashion, music, food, drinks, and more!

Dated ‘N Faded Origins

Established in 2023 and soon approaching their one year anniversary, Dated ‘N Faded is more than just a night market. It is where one brand brings three friends closer together to serve Ventura County, all starting with the South-Oxnard based brand, Retour. Retour is a streetwear clothing brand inspired by Oxnard culture founded by clothing designer Ryan Yere, and co-founders Byron Bucao, and Steve Rivera, all of whom share the same vision for the brand: “Our story, through product, vintage curation”. This mission statement is extended onto the Dated ‘N Faded market, as Ryan Yere described during his time on the Capsul Talk podcast. Retour embodies the story of the city of Oxnard and its culture, bringing forward the talent in the community and strives to carry that purpose with Dated ‘N Faded. While all the creators are multi-hyphenates, this market heavily reflects the creators’ main influences: Ryan in clothing design, Steve in vintage clothing, and Byron in choreography and photography. They venture to showcase the community’s creativity by opening up this platform in collaboration with local talent.

The Experience

After having attended their fourth event, I can confidently say that talent from the Ventura County community reflects identity through their craft. Every event hosted comes with its own unique theme, and coincides with the Retour merch drops posted on their main Instagram accounts dnfmarket and retourco. The announcement of this recent event, which took place on March 16, 2024, featured a Chicano-esque theme along with the market’s reappearing astronaut figure. (see above image)

Navigating through the bustling crowd during the live stream on vcsocialbrand‘s Instagram account, I saw both the revival of old trends and timeless fashion. One of my favorite booths I came across was a ‘90’s/00’s photo-op with airbrushed backdrops, hosted by pdogs00snaps, showcasing this trend that is resurgent, predominantly within the Latino community.

Chiquesfc had a creative storefront display (in collaborations with serhumano.ig and apartworldwide), featuring day-to-day products found in Latino households, to represent a part of their clothing brand De un Campo a Otro. The other part is represented through their clothing designs which highlight the story of hardworking field workers from Oxnard. The word “Chiques” in the brand name refers to an Oxnard nickname coming from the city’s first established neighborhood, La Colonia. As a connection to the mexican community, “Chiques” is a term that has been recoined from being a gang related label to a positive form of identity in which Pacifica High School teacher Cesar Calderon told the VC Star journalist Wendy Leung, “Chiques means Oxnard […] it means that fighting spirit of you making it out and proving them wrong.” All this comes together as a form of empowerment where providing representation for farm workers carries that identity of a fighter who pushes through with resilience.

Images linked from dnfmarket featuring pdogs00snaps photo service (Left) and Chiquesfc storefront display (Right)

Of course, we also saw the partnership between the co-founder’s businesses, Retour and Stevescloset99 as they shared the same booth. Besides sharing the same brand vision, story through product, co-founders Ryan and Byron collaborated with Capsul Talk to host a Q&A panel where selected local business owners and creatives got to interact and share answers to the public’s questions.

Multiple booths displayed their best curated streetwear, vintage apparel, jewelry, toothgems, tattoos, dance and music performances, food, drinks, and much more than I could describe here in this blog. Thanks to the teams at Topa Topa Brewing Co., Retour and Dated ‘N Faded who support the mission of providing a platform for cultural curation and storytelling in collaboration with local creatives and small businesses, curating a space for all. If you’ve made it this far into the blog, follow dnfmarket on Instagram, where you can follow along to hear more about their first upcoming anniversary event in May 2024, and connect with the rest of the previous vendors, with their own resilient stories to share.
