New art exhibits at CSULB have themes of global warming, endangered species, and the impact of industrialization will be on display until Dec. 11.
The Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum features four exhibits made up of artwork from multiple LA based artists.
An exhibit named “Solastalgia” consists of multiple artworks from 15 artists alone.
“It’s basically about the grief that people go through of the environment sometimes, you know, being changed. And so the artists are giving their expression of that, how it’s affected them in different ways,” museum docent Kathleen Navarro said.
Media used in the pieces include watercolors, acrylic paint, wood, plant-based and recycled materials, pigment print and even wildfire debris.
Some pieces like “You hear what those f—— said?” by Saif Azzuz had materials from an obscure valley in Yosemite National Park.
“Some of the things, I don’t even know what they are, which is really exciting to me to enter a show and not know what some of the materials are. It’s making me think I need to do a little bit of research so that I understand, like ‘old growth from Hetch Hetchy’. I don’t know what that means,” said Fafnir Adamites, CSULB Assistant Professor in the Fiber Area.
“Solastalgia” also includes specimens of endangered bird, mammal, and plant species, which are on loan from CSULB Biological Collections.
Alongside “Solastalgia” was “From Eco-Grief to Eco-Action: Rewild with Native Plants”, an interactive educational display featuring photographs of native plants, which was created by the student organization RE:Wild.
“Our goal is to eliminate pesticides on campus and just plant more native plants,” RE:Wild member and contributor to the project Marlene Rosales said.
“Species in Danger” by Jennifer Celio attracted many visitors and featured 13 graphite portraits of creatures in the endangered species lists that are native to Southern California.
“These are the first 13 that I’ve done of the 54, and I’ll just keep going until I finish them all. And then I want to move on to all of California, which will be about 145 creatures that are endangered, and just keep going,” Celio said.
Celio explained that her work reflected ecological negatives that come from humans, such as plastics, disposable materials, urbanization, factory farming and environmental racism.
“I’m hoping that with these pieces, they’re approachable enough. It makes a topic that can be either clinical or can be really hard to take in because it feels so overwhelming,” Celio added.
“Emergence of the Kelp Deer” by Christine Nguyen was presented in a solo space in the Mini Gallery, and is now a part of the museum’s permanent collection.
“The main theme would be the grief of the change in the environment, but [also] space to talk about possible solutions,” said Navarro.
LBCC’s Extended Opportunities Program Services (EOPS) Kick-Off spotlighted various resources, allowing students to become familiar with services offered at the LAC A quad on Sept. 18.
EOPS was joined by other programs like the MSI (Male Success Initiative), represented by James Ceja, an outreach and recruitment specialist at LBCC.
Ceja described MSI as a chance for male students to receive positive male influences, mentoring in academics and even free haircuts.
“We are here to support the students, we know how things can be. Fall Kick Off offers resources from several LBCC programs,” Ceja said.
Another organization that was in attendance was Next Up, an extension of EOPS.
Next Up prioritizes students who were in the foster care system, and had a booth run by Student Success Coach Alejandro Robledo and Guardian Scholars Counselor & Coordinator Andreina Lucero.
When asked why Next Up was at the kick-off, Robledo said, “To provide. We provide clothing if you’d need any.”
Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education (CARE), an organization that helps provide aid like access to food and childcare services, also had a booth.
Their childcare services cater to students who would like an on-campus alternative to after-school programs.
Linda Esqueda, an EOPS assistant who helped run the booth, shared that the resources provided by CARE are in the interest of alleviating parent student costs.
“We try to help and provide, we know things aren’t cheap,” Esqueda said.
The EOPS offices can be found in the A building at the LAC campus.
CORRECTION: A previous version of a caption failed to identify Allen Sewell as the actor yelling.
LBCC’s production of “Inherit the Wind” sold out its Thursday opening night, delivering an entertaining courtroom drama, with a final performance on Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Bob and Barbara Ellis Auditorium.
The play is based on the real life event of the Scopes Monkey Trial, a 1925 court case that had Christian belief and Darwinism at its center.
The play begins with a teacher imprisoned for exposing young students to the theory of evolution at a Christian school, outraging the town’s religious citizens.
The lawyers, the defense that supported Darwinism, and the prosecution, a believer of the Bible, had the most dialogue in the play.
This dialogue consisted of witty back and forth banter, with the background lights clueing in the audience on who was winning the legal battle throughout the play.
An audience member named Juan Martinez spoke about his favorite scene in the play.
“I just like everyone screaming because I didn’t really expect that much screaming… It was pretty funny and entertaining,” Martinez said.

The Darwinism teacher, whose name was Bertram Cates in the play, was played by the actor Nicholas Rout-Vasquez.
Rout-Vazquez shared how he dealt with nervousness before the play.

“I think that you just have to use that energy, it can go both ways, it can control you or you can control it, you just have to get on the horse and ride the way,” Rout-Vasquez said.
Nancy Tran, who played Mrs. Krebs, a background character who she described as “crazy and wild”, shared how the first performance of the play went.

“Opening night went really well collectively. We all supported each other backstage and told the story really well,” Tran said. .
Actor Leya Froehlich, who played the wife of Prosecutor Matt Brady, Mrs. Brady, shared that during one moment an actor near her tripped, and they both wanted to laugh, but they kept their cool and played it off, allowing the show to go on.
Martinez also directed a message to the cast of the play.
“To all the people that did the play, y’all did a super good job, keep doing that, it was really entertaining,” said Martinez.
LBCC Vikings men’s soccer lost in their second home game of the season 2-0 to San Bernardino Valley College after the Wolverines scored on two set pieces on Sept. 19.
The teams were evenly matched throughout the first half with neither side being able to put the ball in the back of the net.
Jorge Reyes, the head coach of the Vikings, attributed a lot of their failures offensively to their mentality going into this game.
“Because wins came early last year, I think they feel like they’re gonna come easy this year. I think everybody collectively needs to understand that when wins are not easy in this league, you gotta work to get them,” Reyes said.
The team continued to struggle in the attacking third where they only managed to get one shot on goal.
“We get chances every single game, we have five or six chances, it’s just the final execution, taking a shot on goal that’s killing us right now,” LBCC midfielder Daniel Arreola said.
The Vikings’ underwhelming offense was largely due to the preparation that San Bernardino Valley went through leading up to this match.
After a 4-1 loss to the Vikings last year, San Bernardino Valley made sure to learn from previous games and research how they could break down this LBCC team.
“We knew they were going to be technically sound and going to move the ball well, so what we did was, we told our boys to be patient because they were going to have the ball most of the time and just to find those opportunities,” San Bernardino Valley head coach Beto Politron.
The coaches for the San Bernardino Valley team did more than just reflect on old games to prepare for this game.
“We went to go watch their game, I know they haven’t had the greatest results in these past games, so we sent one of our coaches and analysed them,” Politron added.
The defense for San Bernardino Valley completely overwhelmed the Vikings offense, particularly throughout the second half.

“I think we had great communication. We were kind of motivated. I kind of led our center mids and forwards, and everybody out there,” said San Bernardino Valley defender Adrian Ayon.
The Vikings drew in their following matches against San Diego City College 1-1 on Sept. 23 and College of the Desert 2-2 on Sept. 26, The Vikings will play East Los Angeles on Tuesday at ELAC campus.
The Vikings football team fell short against Allan Hancock College with a final score of 23-21 on Saturday.
By half-time, The Vikings and Allan were tied 7-7 with a touchdown from Vikings’ wide receiver Owen Tomich.
“Definitely feels like we let one get away. I still got to process it, but definitely a winnable game that we could have won” Head Coach Marques Cooper said.
The Vikings took the lead after wide receiver Steewell Leboucher scored his first touchdown of his college career, putting the Vikings up 14-7.

“Scoring always feels great, especially when it’s your first college career touchdown, but, I still want more and will work to earn it,” Leboucher said.
In the fourth quarter, Ike White scored a touchdown leading the team to a 21-23 game.
“I think you stay grounded because this was a close game, so it wasn’t a game that was away from us. We’ve been in all our games so the way we stay together is just knowing that we got to get better because we got to clean up turnovers and different things like that,” Cooper said.
Quarterback Allen Fernett also spoke about the team’s performance.
“The way we started off the game was very strong just because my coaches always talk about starting off the game that way. I was really proud of the way we started off, now we just gotta execute like that every drive,” Fernett said.
“Personally, win or lose I will be working to improve my game. So the results don’t affect me in that regard,” Leboucher said.
Leboucher also added, “It is frustrating, no objections on that, but I know we have the talent to bounce back and finish the season in a strong matter,’’ when asked about how he personally stays motivated and keeps improving after a tough game.
The Vikings are set to play their next game Saturday at 6 p.m. at Citrus College. The Vikings’ homecoming game will be on Oct. 18 at 3 p.m. at Long Beach City College vs. Santa Ana College.
Today, Fingerprints Music, a known record store in Long Beach, will host a block party and listening party to celebrate the release of Taylor Swift’s new album “The Life of a Showgirl”.
The block party will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m, it is free for everyone however, some activities like making a personalized tote bag or receiving a showgirl themed bracelet require a purchase from the participating stores.
The music store will be celebrating with its neighbouring boutiques, who will participate in creative activities to help attending fans enjoy the album release.
“We’ve been doing things with Taylor for quite a few years now, and this one [the new album] felt like they really wanted to push everyone to Target. And we feel like with people not wanting to support some of Target’s policies, we wanted to make sure we gave people a place to celebrate,” said Rand Foster, owner of Fingerprints Music.
According to the events planned out, Fingerprints will hold a listening party and provide a photo station so supporters can enjoy the music while capturing moments together with their friends.
The Better Half Boutique, a store that sells personalized gifts and home decor, will provide DIY Taylor Swift art kits, a community art canvas and complimentary drinks.
A clothing boutique named And Then LB will have an Eras costume contest, along with a free showgirl friendship bracelet with a $25 purchase at their store.
“If you go to Fingerprints, you can get a little passport with Taylor’s picture on it. If you go to each store and do all the different activities, you get a stamp. If you complete all the stamps, you can turn your passport back in and then they’re gonna draw a name to get a grand prize,” said Katie Atctus, owner of And Then LB.
Rooted Long Beach, a zero-waste, eco-friendly refill shop, will provide fans with the opportunity to create their own personal lyric art tote using their favorite Taylor lyrics with a purchase of $25 at the store.
An LBCC student who is a fan of Swift shared her excitement for the event.
“I’ve grown up with Taylor’s music all this time, and I’m so excited to hear what this one’s gonna sound like. Me and my friends are super excited because we’re going to see her behind-the-scenes movie premiere for this album at AMC (movie theatres) beforehand. We’re gonna go to Fingerprints afterwards and enjoy the music,” said Christina Flores, a student at Long Beach City College.
Expect sparkly outfits, plenty of pink, and Swift’s greatest hits echoing down the block as fans flood the street dressed in everything from cowboy boots to Midnights-blue glitter. It’s a fan reunion.
Singer Jenni Rivera, known as “La Diva de la Banda” was inducted into LBCC’s Hall of Fame along with other alumni like Disney’s first disabled voice actor, Jennifer Kumiyama from the film “Wish” on Sept. 18.
Jenni Rivera’s daughter, Jenicka Lopez, accepted her mom’s award and spoke about what it was like to be accepting an award on behalf of her mom, 12 years after her passing in a plane crash.
“Honestly, it blows my mind sometimes, because now it’s not just about the music. Obviously that’s what she’s known for, but it’s little things like this one specifically from Long Beach City College. She was proud to be here, from Long Beach, to study here for real estate, to succeed, to fulfill her dreams, coming from where she came from,” Lopez said.

Lopez also shared that The Love Foundation, her mom’s foundation that was created to help women, especially single mothers, and their children get out of domestic violence environments, was currently under a rebrand, but still shared its future plans.
“Maybe something with Long Beach City College, we’d love to work with them. As far as the Love Foundation, we’ve been helping students now that back to school is happening, donating school supplies and all that. We frequently make donations to different things that we can,” Lopez said.
Jennifer Kumiyama, known for being Disneyland’s first wheelchair-bound character actress and voicing the physically disabled, character Dahlia in Disney’s animated film “Wish”, was also inducted into LBCC’s Hall of Fame.

Kumiyama is Long Beach’s accessibility coordinator, and is known for speaking out and uplifting the disabled community of Long Beach, wanting her to be an example for others.
“I saw nobody like me in the industry… People with disabilities are expected to live in a world not built or inclusive of us and nobody understands it unless they’re part of us. The disabled community is the only one where anyone can become part of it at any time,” Kumiyama said.
After being inducted into the Hall of Fame, Kumiyama attributed her successes to her time at LBCC.
“What I learned from LBCC didn’t come from a book, most of this world sees my brown skin, big bones and disabled body as a weakness but LBCC made me see it as a superpower,” Kumiyama said.
Long Beach community member and attorney Norman Rasmussen was the final inductee of the night. Rasmussen’s career has spanned for over 60 years, first graduating from LBCC in the 1950s as a student-parent with a degree in accounting.
Rasmussen attributes LBCC to his success, specifically his accounting professor who pushed him to keep going.
He believed that success “starts with parents or an adult figure to affirm students” and pushed for young people to pursue education.

“I’m honored to be in that group (LBCC Hall of Fame), I’m putting something back in the pot to the community that has done so much for me,” Rasmussen said.
Other awardees included four Service Awards given to Long Beach community members: Associate Vice President of TTC Alisia Kirkwood who received the Campus Friend award, performing arts advocate Debra Peterson, LBCC student Nathalia Miyamura who were recognized for their community service work and representatives for the Long Beach Boys and Girls Club.
The awards ceremony was jokingly compared to the Emmys by Don Rodriguez, the chief executive of the Boys and Girls Club of Long Beach, who accepted the Distinguished Student Service Award on the organization’s behalf.
The ceremony served as a social event for colleagues and members of the Long Beach and LBCC community while also serving to celebrate notable individuals and their successes.

LBCC’s Art Gallery hosted an opening reception for a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based photographer Star Montana on Thursday at LAC, K-100.
The exhibition, “By The River, I May Destroy You”was co-curated by Alex Nicholls and Karla Aguiniga, will run until Oct. 25.
According to the introduction on LBCC’s website, “this body of work—featuring a selection of recently produced photographs—takes water as its central theme and highlights diverse locales, including Los Angeles, Texas, New Mexico, Northern California, and Mexico.”
These sites are deeply connected to Montana’s personal history and significant in presenting her Mexican-American heritage.
“One of the ways that I was able to contribute to this exhibition is by contextualizing some of the ideas and themes that are present in the images through writing. Something I was thinking a lot about was the allegorical power of water and the river and the duality that it possesses,” co-curator Alex Nicholls said at the show’s beginning.

Many students and visitors were excited to see Montana’s work as the event was widely advertised and is part of the Latina/o/x Heritage Month celebration activities.
“This exhibit was a surprise for me. It’s my first one where it’s all photographs, and what I really love is—I read somewhere that Star is kind of working as a stand-in for all of her different family members. So we’re looking at an image of this woman, but it’s also an image of all the different family members that have been in these places. So she’s kind of herself, a template, or an icon to experience the spaces through, which I think is a really special way to look at the moments,” LBCC student Kirstin Brehm said.
Montana captures rivers and places where her family used to live, incorporating herself into most of the photos.
Besides some independent pieces, others are assembled into four sections named “Displacement,” “Discovery,” “Sovereignty” and “Loss and Memory.”
“I noticed that my great-grandmother, my grandmother, all of us have always had to live next to rivers. So I started with research, and I noticed for 500 years it’s been like that,” Montana said.

To Montana, the river’s meaning was a source of survival and connection, reflecting that her family had lived next to rivers for generations, and this relationship had continued to flow in her photography.
Regarding militarized borders, Montana said, “It’s really dangerous, you know. And so there should not be borders around rivers that harm people.”
“By The River, I May Destroy You” remains on view until Oct. 25 with an artist talk and closing reception from 1 to 3 p.m. at LAC, K-100.
LBCC’s Performing Arts Department will present “Inherit the Wind” at the Bob and Barbara Ellis Auditorium from Thursday through Sunday and LBCC students with ASB stickers can see the play for free.
The play will run at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday, with a 2 p.m. run on Saturday and Sunday.
Students with ASB stickers must go to the box office to redeem their free entry, but tickets cost $10 for students without ASB stickers, seniors and staff. General admission tickets are $15.
“Inherit the Wind” addresses topics that remain relevant in the current political landscape of the world, even a century after the date of the original 1920s Supreme Court case the play is based on.

When asked about why this play was chosen, director Tony Carreiro drew parallels between the main conflict of the play and some of the controversies in today’s time regarding censorship.
“We’ve made some adjustments to make it more modern. You’ll see what I mean more towards the end,” Carreiro said.
To spark the trial, a public school teacher was found guilty of spreading the ideas of Charles Darwin’s evolution theory, which was banned due to the fact it went against the teachings of the church.
The prosecution is led by Matthew Harrison Brady, played by Jeff Paul, a devout Christian man and beloved figure in the country, whilst the defense is led by Henry Drummond, played by Allen Sewell, an equally recognized man known for his agnostic beliefs.

The play represented many of the beliefs Americans had during the early 1900s, and connects many of them to similar beliefs held by parts of America today.
Every actor and actress displayed a hint of lightheartedness even with the serious overtone of the story.

Jaden Jones, who plays the mayor, said, “It’s really easy being somebody who isn’t myself, because it helps with my anxiety.”
The stage crew was just as determined with moving set pieces, scene transitions and sound design, setting the stage for court hearings and town celebrations.
“The stage crew part and the camaraderie are really what make it fun for me,” stagehand Ethan Bartee said.

Students ate nachos, drank sodas, and water at the HBCU Workshop on Sept. 24 as they prepared for the upcoming HBCU Caravan event on Oct. 27, where students will be eligible for on the spot admittance into the colleges.
The HBCU Caravan event is an opportunity for Black students to be admitted on the spot and learn more in-depth information about the HBCUs.
HBCU, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, give Black students the opportunity to get extra support and succeed in their education.
The instructor for this event is Briana Levi, a transfer advisor for community colleges in California.
Presenter Briana Levi discusses requirements to transfer to a HBCU during the HBCU Prep Workshop at the Black Student Success Center at LBCC on Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2025. The HBCU Prep Workshop aims to help LBCC students navigate transferring and get scholarships to attend HBCUs. (Chloe Hall)
Levi attended Atlanta Clark University and has completed her bachelor’s and master’s degrees. She stated that the transfer process from a community college to an HBCU was “seamless.”
“As long as you utilize the ADT (Associate Degree to Transfer) track, that will actually be a seamless process, so once they transfer and once they will be awarded their associate’s degree for transfer, they will have their guaranteed admissions, but also they will start at their HBCU as a junior,” Levi states.
Chrishaad Moye, an HBCU alum and counselor coordinator from the Umoja Scholars Program at Long Beach City College, admires the unity in HBCUs.
When Moye was asked to rate the unity at an HBCU, out of 10, he said, “I would say it’s about a 12 from 1-10 man, it’s a family, it’s an experience and a family connection like no other.”
According to LBCC student Elijah Williams, the most attractive thing about an HBCU is its diversity.
“The main thing for me is that I came from a school that was mainly white and Asian, so I’m looking for something different,” Williams said.
“At an HBCU, it’s very different because it’s Black people there and I just love Black people, you know,” Williams added.
The HBCU Caravan event will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 29 in the A Quad at the Liberal Arts Campus.
