Maxfield Morris was recently named editor-in-chief at the campus newspaper. The Sacramento native did his first college stint at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, and when he returned home, he enrolled in a City College journalism class.
“Something struck a chord,” says the 22-year-old, who is now pursuing a degree in journalism.
Last semester, Morris and teammate Vanessa Nelson won first place in an on-the-spot writing and photography contest at the Journalism Association of Community Colleges annual state convention.
Morris says he likes all kinds of writing and is currently working on several personal blogs.

Jason Pierce, 38, spent 16 years and about 1 million miles as a truck driver before he realized he needed a change. He went back to school for photography and discovered a passion for photojournalism. Pierce is photo editor for the campus newspaper this semester.
After photographing rallies during the 2016 presidential primary, Pierce witnessed something that solidified his interest in social justice.
“I went to Standing Rock, and I knew it was what I wanted to do,” Pierce says. Since then, he has gone to any political rally he can make it to, including Black Lives Matters and ANSWER Coalition rallies.
Pierce feels it’s his duty to amplify the voices of people trying to enact change, especially on issues of social justice, politics and the environment.

Former cross-country hitchhiker, street performer and current City College student Heather Roegiers has a colorful and exciting past.
The 28-year-old news editor has more to her than just a current love for poetry, bike riding and snowboarding. She has traveled the United States, playing it by ear as she drank in the different cultures. Journalism became an interest for her after she decided to start reporting.
“They say you should write what you read,” she says, “and I read a lot of news, so I figured I should try writing it.”
Roegiers now lives in Folsom, but has spent time extensively in San Francisco, Berkeley and Santa Cruz.
