    Learning a new language can be easy for a few, but for the majority of students, there is a bit of frustration. Assistant Professor of Spanish, Deborah Lemon, has embarked on what some can call an expedition to make learning a new language a little less discouraging. Lemon has worked for Ohlone for the past eight years, originally hailing from North Carolina. She holds a B.A. from North Carolina State University and a M.A. from University of California, Santa Barbara. Several years ago, she crossed …more

    If it’s one thing that I’ve grown to be extremely passionate for over the past five years of my educational career, it’s increasing the general public’s awareness on how much the media uses their hidden agendas to obtain their profits via sources of imagery. Being the emotionally involved and driven person that I am, I simply cannot stand the fact that there are a great multitude of people in our communities that are blind to the ways in which these hidden agendas work their ways into shaping how we view and obtain our ideas of what reality is.

It seems that a lot of us, especially the younger generations, have underestimated the power and control the media has over our very realities that …more
