Women’s water polo took a 11-10 loss against Biola University despite Vikings attacker Irene Pueyo Caballero scoring four goals in a friendly tournament on Nov. 1.
The Vikings started the first two quarters slowly as they went down 10-3 at the end of the first half.
“It was a flip from our last game in which we started winning 2-8 but this time we were on the opposite side,” Vikings Water Polo Head Coach Chris Oeding said
During the third quarter, the Vikings pulled all the defensive stops to get closer in the game, making it 10-9 by the end of it.
“I think they recognized at that point, they can’t play for themselves, they need to play for each other. I saw them come together a lot more in the second half and work with each other, which opened more opportunities for us,” Oeding said.
During the fourth quarter, the teams were battling out of a tie 10-10.
When both teams could not find a way to get ahead, Biola University attacker Gwendolyn Pidd scored the winning goal that came in the form of a penalty in the last two minutes of the game.
LBCC’ attacker Irene Pueyo Caballero had the highest goal tally of the game with four goals
“At the end we are a team, the best part of this team is that we all support each other, even the players who didn’t play still contribute to the team, and at the end it was the optimism and the mentality of the that kept us fighting for the game, even with a loss as the result we are still very happy we our performance as a team,” Caballero said.
Vikings center Emily Cribari and attacker Shahar Rokach scored two goals each to show for their good performance during the game.
“I think our intensity really changed because we started bringing each other up and cheering very loudly for each other,” Cribari said.
The Vikings will play their next match on Thursday at Merced College for the first round of the 3C2A State Championship Tournament at 3:30 p.m. against Diablo Valley College.
Over the smell of grilling food came the constant buzz of helicopter blades and the drone of small planes taking off and landing, while hundreds of Black and brown children craned their necks skyward, eyes wide at the Compton/Woodley Airport for their first Air and Space Fair on Nov. 1.
The event was organized by the Fly Compton Foundation and the California Black Aviation Association to inspire young people of color to explore aviation and the sciences.
Compton has hosted air shows before, but this was the first to place “space” alongside aviation as a central theme.
The fair featured parked aircrafts that attendees could touch and explore, hands-on science experiments for children and Black professionals eager to share how their fields reach far beyond the cockpit.

A common message among STEM advocates was that even if one isn’t gifted in mathematics, there are still crucial roles across aerospace that require creativity and collaboration.
“If you’re a fashion designer, someone has to make the flight suits. If you’re a chef, somebody has to feed the next generation living on the moon or Mars,” said K.L. Carter, an author, physicist and engineer for Long Beach-based aerospace company Vast. “There’s a place for every kind of talent in space.”
Representation was also on the forefront of the day, echoed by professionals and parents alike.
“Whether it’s the practitioners and the professionals or just seeing the families out here and the community members, I think it’s really powerful and sets a great tone for the community,” said Brian Walker, who attended with his daughter.
Pride in volunteering was visible too, as every pilot and plane on display donated their time and aircraft.
“It is important, and I always wanted to volunteer,” said Tasia Murphy, who attended with her son. “This is actually my first time doing it, so it’s a joy to help other people and be in your community at the same time.”

On representation, Murphy added, “It gives my son a representation of his own, it encourages him to know that he can go out into these fields.”
Among the booths was Maynard Okereke, better known as The Hip-Hop M.D., who merges music and science on social media to spark curiosity among young audiences.
“Curiosity is key, it’s what keeps you invested and makes you want to keep learning,” Okereke said. “Curiosity is nature’s PhD.”
Okereke emphasized that diversity remains essential in STEM.
“When I was in college, I didn’t see many people who looked like me in science. That’s why I built this platform, to be the representation I didn’t have,” he said. “The more representation we have in STEM, the more we can inspire youth early on to see themselves in these careers.”
Activities included a miniature moon rover, replica moon rocks, a space-themed bounce house, and Young Eagles discovery flights, which offered children ages 8 to 17 their first experience in the air.
Celebrity Helicopters also offered short rides for families, lasting about three minutes and circling over Compton and Carson before landing back at the airport.
Ten-year-old Nathaniel Perez rode upfront with pilot Robin Petgrave, while his mother, Rocio Perez, stayed on the ground.

“It was really fun, we got a view of mostly everything in Compton, and he showed us the stadium where they play soccer,” Nathaniel said.
When asked if he’d ride in a helicopter if given the chance Perez said “Most definitely.”
As Petgrave pointed out local landmarks from above, including the tennis courts where Venus and Serena Williams first played, the connection between Compton’s streets and the skies felt real.
“Events like this make space feel close enough to touch,” Carter said. “It doesn’t look far away anymore, people can see themselves in it.”
A series of seven colorfully painted emergency boxes spread across the Liberal Arts Campus were presented to a small group of Long Beach City College students and staff during a guided walking tour on Nov. 4.
The boxes contain essential necessities in the event of a campus disaster, including survival supplies, shelter in place tools, and communication and lighting equipment.
“About a year ago, our facilities director asked me about painting some of these boxes, and of course I said yes. This has been a huge collaborative effort,” said Janet Hund, LBCC’s dean of visual, performing arts and cultural programs.
Students who volunteered to paint these emergency boxes over the summer were given a chance to present their work, and explain the meaning behind their chosen designs.
JB Brown, the rep. of arts for ASB, delivered an impactful speech while presenting the box designed by the SAGE Scholars Academy.

“In a college environment, especially as a Black student, navigating systemic challenges together isn’t just a choice, it’s necessary. In a world that was meant to break us, this serves as a reminder that we were never meant to be broken in the first place,” Brown said.
The SAGE Scholars’ box, which is still a work in progress, is an ode to Black culture and tradition.
The top of the box will display the word “akwaaba”, which means “welcome” in Ghana, and the Sankofa bird, which symbolizes reflecting on the past and creating a better future.
“We must return to our roots in order to move forward with power. Our survival isn’t just physical. It’s cultural, it’s spiritual, it’s ancestral. It is a declaration to carry our past forward with pride,” Brown said.
Another meaningful box was created by student workers at the Math Success Center, who aimed to combine themes of mathematics, art, and nature.
“We wanted to show that mathematics is more than just numbers,” said Raeven Ramos, one of the student volunteers who worked on the box.
Ramos, along with Josie Paiste and Sarah Mace, used a number of symbols in order to bring their vision to life.
“We have a golden line that represents the golden ratio. We included a butterfly, which stands for growth, change, and hope, as well as showing support for undocumented students. We also incorporated colors of the rainbow to represent our support for the LGBTQ community,” Ramos said.

Other boxes were used to highlight some of LBCC’s on-campus clubs.
A box created by the Spotlight Theatre Club incorporated the classic phrase “The show must go on” into its design, while a box painted by members of the MANA Club used images of water, koi fish, and lions to represent its Asian-American, Desi, and Pacific Islander members.
Painted by the MANA Club, the M-Building emergency box shows a scene of koi fish, bamboo stalks, and the flags of various Pacific islander nations. This box was the last stop on the walking tour, desserts and prizes were given out afterwards. (Jacyn King)
Ceramixa, one of LBCC’s newest clubs, used their box to promote an upcoming ceramics sale, and was even selling pieces made by its members during the tour.
“Our box is still a work in progress, but it’s basically gonna show the process of clay. The front has little critters throwing clay on wheels, and the other sides of the box will show the kiln and firing processes,” club president Kaitlyn Corona said.
Overall, each box represented a different aspect of the student experience at LBCC.
“I feel like everybody has something that somebody else can relate to. When you look at that (the SAGE Scholars’) box, you see yourself,” Brown said.
The emergency box located outside of the D-Building was painted in various science themes including biology, astronomy, chemistry, physics and archelogy. (Jacyn King)
According to Hund, a walking tour of the painted emergency boxes at the Trades, Technology and Community Learning Campus will take place sometime in the spring.
With LBCC housing in progress, affordable on-campus living finally feels within reach for many students.
As the project takes fruition, a crucial question remains: how can LBCC ensure housing truly serves students who need it the most?
Campus housing becomes a long term investment in student success, providing safety and a secure foundation for learning and needs to have a system in anticipation for incoming students.
The lack of affordable housing has forced students to commute long distances and follow untimely bus schedules, with some choosing to sleep in their car and rely on temporary programs like the Safe Parking Program while trying to earn degrees.
The Safe Parking Program is a lifeline for students experiencing housing insecurity but it’s a short-term solution, not a sustainable one.
The program shows how LBCC recognizes the severity of housing insecurity with students, but sleeping in a car isn’t okay, no matter how “safe” it is promoted to be.
The upcoming student housing project signifies more than just housing. It becomes a representation of stability and student success.
Having campus housing with criteria based on need will give select students a safe and affordable place to pursue their education.
For low-income students, high rent often means choosing between tuition and a home.
For first generation students, financial aid and family support is limited or nonexistent.
To make the project meaningful to students, LBCC should implement an equitable housing system for such students.
This can include income based criteria, proof of participation in aid programs such as EOPS, CalWORKS, Calfresh or student support referrals.
This criteria can also include partnership with the Basic Needs Program to identify students already seeking housing or food assistance.
LBCC can create a trust-centered initiative while pairing housing assistance with a package of housing, rental assistance, academic advising, and meal access.
If LBCC’s goal is to support student success, then the housing project must reflect that mission through equitable access for students who need it the most.
LBCC has the opportunity to set an example for community colleges, showing that education begins with stability.
Forward Brisa Medina scored from beyond the penalty box to help bring the Vikings to a 5-0 over Cerritos College for the South Coast Conference (SCC) semifinals on Monday.
Despite the sweep, it took a large part of the first half for the Vikings to find their footing offensively.
“Once we settled in, we were able to connect that second pass and it was us in possession looking to create chances. I think we did a great job of that going into the second half,” Vikings Women’s Soccer Head Coach Tino Nunez said.
The Vikings’ offense showed no signs of slowing down throughout the match, with 2 goals in the first half and 3 in the second half.
“I think we just executed the game plan and stayed organized. We worked really (well) together as a team,” Vikings midfielder Arabella Rosales said.
Rosales credited the emphasis on holding a defense line and moving as a unit accordingly during practices for their win.
“(Coach) has been having us try and stay in shape more defensively and shifting together. I think our communication has gotten better too, and that’s what helped us come out on top today,” Rosales said.
The team was confident for future matches following this win that put them at a 16-1 record.
“It’s definitely a lot of pressure, but we’re ready for it,” LBCC midfielder Sky Demelo said.
While this victory was important for the team, they are making sure to keep the mentality that there is still work to do.
“I think this just helps us feel good going into the championship game. We understand what the goal is. The job is not finished,” Nunez said.
The first round of regionals for women’s soccer begins Wednesday, with matchups yet to be announced.
Vikings women’s water polo attackers Amy Fritz and Irene Pueyo Caballero tied four goals each in a 19-2 win against Cerritos College for the SCC championship on Saturday.
With this win, the Vikings are now at 10 SCC championship wins in a row.
The Vikings showed a strong performance at Cerritos College, leaving them stunted after dominating them offensively and defensively for the entire match.
Women’s Water Polo Head Coach Chris Oeding explained that the team focused on fundamentals in their training.
“We really just started with really good pressure on the ball forcing them to have difficult passes,” Oeding said.
The Vikings’ goalkeepers Olivia Birdsall and Maya Jennings made sure to keep most of the offensive attempts out of goal, with only two goals scored against them.
“We have been studying their offense and how they play and I think that helped to press for the ball,” Birdsall said.
Viking attacker Amy Fritz remarks that it is due to the team working as a unit that they can achieve the level of play they have.
“It’s not just my goals, it’s everybody working together, so I can’t take credit for all of it,” Fritz said.
Coach Oeding said that working together as a unit is what allowed them to bring home the championship.
“We are going to do some game planning for the next game. We are going to win that game and continue that season on,” Oeding said.
LBCC’s women’s water polo team will play against Riverside College on Saturday at 11 a.m. for the second round of the 3C2A SoCal Regionals.
Neighbors of Long Beach City College’s Liberal Arts Campus are worried about the decrease in their property value, overcrowded parking and loitering in the neighborhood due to the school’s new campus housing plan, which will build 420 dorms.
The campus housing build gets its funds from the 2024 LA County General Election Measure AC, and is planned to be built on the corner of Lew Davis Street and Clark Avenue with the goal of providing affordable student housing, projected to be finished in 2028.
“With these funds, we will be able to transform our campuses with cutting-edge facilities that match the ambition and potential of our students. From upgraded nursing labs and state of the art classrooms, to affordable housing and sustainable design, Measure AC will make LBCC an institution where students can thrive academically and personally,” an LBCC press release stated.
This project has neighbors questioning the effects of what the housing addition might bring to their neighborhood.
“I’m not really too concerned about the noise, but what I am worried about is the litter and the loitering. Sometimes, I walk outside and random people just start yelling at me for no reason,” neighbor Yumi Tiangco said.
Tiangco read about the addition of campus housing in a local newspaper last year, but claimed that she had not received any formal notification as a homeowner.
The Viking received a statement from LBCC regarding if neighbors of LAC were notified about the construction of the student housing.
“LBCC remains committed to transparency and ongoing communication about our construction projects. Regular updates are provided through formal channels, including reports to the Citizens’ Oversight Committee and the Board of Trustees. Most recently, Vice President of Administrative and Business Services Candace Jones presented an update on the Student Housing project—including video mock-ups of the proposed design—at the May 14, 2025 Board of Trustees meeting (presentation begins at 3:45:45). Our former Vice President of Administrative and Business Services engaged in multiple discussions with the community prior to the presentation of Measure AC to voters,” the statement read.
Toni Pearson, another local resident and Tiangco both mentioned that only within the last year or two did their neighborhood get permit-only parking, with each vehicle required to have a yearly $35 permit.
“We have five cars because my kids drive and we don’t have enough room in the driveway to fit all of our cars, so that’s $35 a year, per car,” Tiangco said.
Pearson also stated that residents had to ask the city multiple times to take action on students taking parking spaces.
“We had to call and ask a bunch of times to get them to put signs up on this street because students were parking in here all the time,” Pearson said.
Another concern that Pearson had was regarding traffic in the neighborhood, specifically regarding emergency responses.
“We live on a really small street, so it’s not as wide as you think it is. We have a fire department right over there and so I’m just concerned that if something happens they might not be able to get through,” Pearson said.
Decreasing property value is a main concern among the neighborhood, with Tiangco sharing that one of her neighbors has thought about moving due to the new housing addition.
“My neighbor right over there has said he’s thought about moving because his property value might decrease once they finish (building the dorms),” Tiangco said.
Jim Wright, another neighbor, expressed confusion as to why the school is building campus housing because community colleges are typically commuter colleges, meaning students live off campus and drive to school.
“How many kids come from out of state to go to Long Beach City College? I mean, typically, you need housing and colleges for kids that aren’t from the area. But a JC College? Typically, that’s kids from the town. They go there, or are at least within a few miles where traveling is not a problem. I don’t understand why they feel they need school housing for a junior college,” Wright said.
LBCC is working with neighborhood association groups to aim towards creating recurring town hall meetings where neighbors can provide their feedback and share updates on the multiple construction projects taking place.
After a 30-13 loss against Moorpark, Long Beach City College’s football team finished their season with a record of 3-7.
The Vikings had to face important changes this season like the introduction of new players and the appointment of Head Coach Marques Cooper.
The team was assembled in a fast fashion due to the change of head coach, but the team believes in the system Cooper is building.
“He’s been great, he came up to a mess up situation he made the best of it no matter the record, and I’m excited for next year,” LBCC’s offensive line Adrian Vichot said.
The Vikings started the season off with a three loss streak until a 56-7 win against Santa Barbara on Sept. 20 brought them the first win of the season.
“I think we did a great job, we competed in every game, many of the guys are really new, I think it went really well based on the situation we were put in,” Cooper said.
As the games continued playing out the Vikings picked up the pace and it seemed their luck was changing, eventually reaching a record of 3-4.
Viking wide receiver Owen Tomich led the Vikings with a total of 922 yards on the season and 11 touchdowns.
“We started every game good and it’s just the second half that we couldn’t finish and I think that held us back,” Viking offensive line Alex Sanchez said.
The last game of the season the Vikings played was against Moorepark in which they were defeated 30-13.
“We played tough in the first half, but as for the second half kinda went on lack of depth and basically that’s what happened to us in a nutshell, we ran out of gas,” Cooper said.
Coach Cooper expresses that he believes next season will be much better for the Vikings now that the foundations of the team are built.
The Vikings did not qualify for any playoff games this season, and will return in January for the start of pre-season.
Vibrant outfits with intricate beadwork and traditional dancing were accompanied by singing for LBCC’s first LAC Native American Heritage Month Kick-Off event on Nov. 4.
LBCC had this event for many years at the TTC campus, but this is the first year it had been brought to LAC.
The Wild Horse Native American Association shared stories and brought traditional dancers to display their culture, showing dance styles from various Native American tribes.
“We have been partnering with the Wild Horse Native American Association for several years now and it was a pleasure being able to bring them onto the LAC campus this year,” Director of Student Equity Eric Becerra said.
All performers had been learning their dances since they were young, with some incorporating modern aspects of dance such as hip-hop like the Men’s Fancy War Dance performed by Ba’ac Garcia, adopting new ways to tell a story.

“These dances that we learn are made up of different dance styles from different reservations and states. … I learned to dance from my uncle who passed away not too long ago who was a member of the Kiowa tribe in Oklahoma,” Garcia said.
Garcia is a member of the Tohono O’odham Nation, whose tribal homeland extends across southern Arizona and northern Mexico, and has travelled to Paris, Berlin, and even appearing on streamer Kai Cenat’s livestream on Sept. 15 to share his people’s dance and culture to a worldwide audience.
The Wild Horse Native American Association brought 2019’s World Teen Champion Hoop Dancer Nanabah Kadenehii who is Navajo and has performed in many competitions with interlinking hoops to form imagery entirely up to the audience’s interpretation.

“The Hoop Dance isn’t necessarily a part of the culture but the style of dance originates from the Taos Pueblo region. … A lot of these dances have been adopted around different tribes,” Kadenehii said.
The dances performed showcased a story, being told and interpreted through the things the viewer percieves, whether through facial expressions, clothing of the dancers, or bodily movement.
“The Hoop Dance is a storytelling dance and there are designs made out of these hoops. … You’ll see me create designs out of willow trees and be able to see a butterfly, a caterpillar, eagle and a thunderbird but there’s no wrong answers and everyone sees something different. … It just depends on what you see and how you feel,” Kadenehii said.
With every dancer, vibrant clothing and fine details added to each dance, holding its own meaning, such as the jingle dress worn by Navajo dancer Kayla Rivera, which represented healing, for a Medicine Dance.

The kick-off ended with over 30 audience members performing a simple powwow dance led by the performers in a winding circular pattern to allow them to experience a Native American dance first-hand.
“We’ve had a very active Native American Indigenous collaborative student club and employee resource group in previous years,” Becerra said.
LBCC’s next Native American Heritage Month events are on Tuesday with a beading workshop from 1 to 3:30 p.m. and karaoke night from 4 to 5:30 p.m..
Despite Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids becoming more common in Long Beach and surrounding cities, Long Beach City College’s training for active ICE raids on campus has been inadequate, amounting to two optional training webinars and an emailed power point that should’ve been mandatory for the college.
LBCC’s faculty, staff and administration were trained differently based on their positions at the institution, but professors are the main employees that come into contact with students every day.
For a school that takes pride in being outspoken about supporting their undocumented immigrant students and being a Hispanic serving institution, many employees did not receive in-person training on how to respond in the event of an ICE raid.
The current procedure, described on a flyer in rooms like the English as a Second Language (ESL) office at the TTC campus, is that if immigration agents were to show up on campus, put the student in a non-public area like behind a counter or a locked faculty office; tell the ICE agent that they are not allowed into the area; contact the school’s point of contact through email, Vice President Alisia Kirkwood for the TTC campus and President Mike Munoz for LAC; then call campus police to come and verify the warrant.
Email is considered the official form of communication at the school, but realistically if an ICE agent is present, email communication wouldn’t work because many people either don’t read them in time or the email takes too long to get to the recipient.
The ESL department at the TTC campus had an in-person reminder walkthrough training at the beginning of the fall semester by Kirkwood because the department was considered “more impacted.”
There are no specific statistics for LBCC’s undocumented demographic, but according to the Higher Ed Immigration Portal, 10% of students in California are undocumented immigrants.
Most of the time, professors do not know which of their students are undocumented immigrants, unless the student tells the professor themselves, so the school needs to train all departments through a detailed in-person training and walkthrough.
LBCC offered three campus wide faculty and staff days in 2025, College Day in August, which was mandatory for full-time faculty, and Flex Day in March and September, where they should have offered an in-person training on immigration procedures.
Both optional webinars took place in the spring semester with one being open to students explaining “limited zones,” which are non-public areas like locked faculty offices and a designated computer lab, and another general training in March at the Spring 2025 Flex Day, when immigration raids were still an issue, but the fears of immigration raids ramped up drastically in June.
Though the school cannot make training mandatory for professors because of contractual limitations, anything mandatory must be negotiated, with the next possible date to do so being April 22 for the first Flex Day of 2026.
Offering an in-person opportunity on this Flex Day would be more effective than previous Zoom webinars, as it would be a more involved training process than an online meeting.
Front desk workers in the areas meant for student assistance like financial aid, admissions and records and the multidisciplinary success center are mainly student workers and did not get any training past the instruction to “get your supervisor.”
Student workers are not supposed to engage with agents, but as a front desk person, they are most likely going to be the first point of contact with them.
Even then, the only resources that the student workers and staff in these areas were given are red “Know Your Rights” cards for students or employees who may not know what their constitutional rights are for the situation.
As a public institution, LBCC cannot legally do much other than educate students and employees on basic constitutional rights and securing undocumented students in a locked private space, but implementing conferences on immigration protocols at future mandatory events and doing more than just an email is vital.
