City College’s first-ever Week of Welcome took place across campus this past week, including Welcome Day, an event  that created a place for clubs and programs to showcase opportunities available to students.

Welcome Day was held Sept. 13 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the quad and featured several events, such as the dance and cheer team performing a number in a pep rally, a barbecue with burgers and hot dogs, and club and academic program tables to provide information to students.

A few of the presenters at the event included the Sac City Free Thinkers, a voter registry put on by the Student Associated Council, and a job booth for Sketchers shoes.

“It’s like a giant megaphone to make the student voice more audible,” said Autumn Thomas-Morales of Occupy Sac City, a new group on campus, which intends to give an open forum for students to voice their concerns relating to the education process.

The Electronics Students Association, which was present at Welcome Day, recently won first prize at the state fair with a mechanism

Other events held during the Week of Welcome included a poetry slam contest, an ice cream social, Culture Day and the showing of the movie “Hunger Games”.
