The P.A.N.T.H.E.R.S., or Progressive Artist Network Together Helping Elevate Revolutionize and Support, is a student club with a big name, and even bigger ambitions.
“We’re promoting revolutionary ways to support other artists through different mediums that aren’t being used yet,” said P.A.N.T.H.E.R.S. president Marques Davison.
According to club treasurer Jenilynn Anderson, the club was started to help artists network and use technology to get their projects out for public viewing. The club plans to premiere a news broadcast, their first project, on the new campus cable station and streaming online March 5. The broadcast will include news, sports, entertainment, current events, student life, and other segments prepared by the club’s members.
“We’re trying to bridge the gap between students, faculty and staff so we can all kind of work together in a symbiotic relationship, and create a unity,” said Anderson.
Davison said the broadcast will have a format like the local morning program, “Good Day Sacramento.”
“We’re looking to be more energetic, live, full-body shots as opposed to sitting at a table,” Dawison said.

Davison and Anderson both said one of the club’s most important goals is to give students access to the available resources on campus.
City College has an extensive media lab, cameras, green screen rooms, and a recording studio that many students don’t even know exist. One new addition this year are the TV screens installed all over campus.
“We, as students, need to be able to use those screens. I don’t want to walk by and see CNN- I want to know what’s happening here on campus,” says Anderson.
Anderson said that while the broadcast is the main project, the club is also planning events with live music and art. Club members are also producing short films and documentaries.
While some students are there for the art, others are there for promotion.
“I’m in the P.A.N.T.H.E.R.S. club because it’s a great way to network with other students on campus, and it’s a great way to get the word out about all the great things our clubs are doing on campus,” said P.A.N.T.H.E.R.S. member, and ASG commissioner for student affairs Elika Bernard.
“A lot of students, especially our night time students, are unaware of things that happen on campus that are positive, things that can help them as students, things that can help them grow as learners,” said Bernard.
The club was chartered last semester, but the news broadcast will be its first finished project. Anderson said the club has about 25 members, but they are always looking for more. P.A.N.T.H.E.R.S. meets on Tuesdays at 12:30 p.m. in the Inter Club Council room in the Culturual Awareness Center.
