Dream Vacation: going in a spaceship to Mars to explore another world

Tell Us About Your Position as the Vice President of Student Government: From my student position as Multicultural Program Coordinator, I learned a lot about event programming, coordinating, and team management and wanted to

springboard from there into a new position where I could grow even more. As Vice President of Student Government, I help the Student Senate with their

personal and professional development so that they can be empowered to make decisions that shape and influence student culture and campus community at

Lane. We are working on several campaigns and one in particular is promoting intercultural competence through a policy that would require instructors to

receive training about how to effectively engage with students of diverse backgrounds while keeping the classroom welcoming and safe.

What You Like Most About Eugene: the free-spirited lifestyle

What You Like Most About LCC: Lane is a place where I see my dreams flourishing

Other Interesting Facts About Yourself Or Ideas That You'd Like To Share: When someone asks me where I’m from, it always takes me at

least five minutes to explain. It feels good though when people walk away with an expanded vision of our world – a different vision than what they see on

mainstream media.

Hobbies & Interests: playing

soccer, watching action movies,

hanging out with friends, hiking,

dancing (African, Latin, reggae, hip

hop), studying (when I’m in the

mood), singing (but I’m bad at it),

longboarding, traveling, cooking and

eating

LANE POLICIES & DEADLINES

IESL Students

If you are currently in Oral Skills 7 and Reading/Writing 7 and planning to transition to

the college-level program in Winter 2013, remember to take the placement test before

coming to the advising & registration session on Friday, January 7th at 9:00 AM.

There will be changes to the end of term registration process. Further instructions will

be given by your instructors in the near future. Remember to pay your bill and update

your address/phone/email information on MyLane or you will not be able to register for

next term!

Don’t Lose the Winter Classes You’ve Registered For!

The Registration Payment Deadline for fall term charges is Thursday, November 29th at

11:59 p.m. Make sure to check your bill on MyLane and pay any outstanding balances

before then – even if it’s a library fine or parking citation. If you have a fall term bal-

ance and don’t pay it by this date, then all of the winter classes that you’ve registered

for will be dropped!

Final Exams are approaching!

Be sure to check your final exam schedule on the Student Detail Schedule in the My

Enrollment tab in MyLane or by asking your instructor because it could be different

from your regular class schedule.

What Would You Do With A Million Dollars?

I would give 50% of it to a social organization,

nature and animal conservation and my parents.

Then, the rest of it I will use for my future.

DID YOU KNOW? On the Road

Do you drive in Oregon? Remember that in order to drive, you must have an Oregon Driver’s License, not your home country driver’s license

or an international driver’s permit. It’s important to keep your Oregon driver’s license, car insurance information and car registration with you

at all times when you drive – if you ever get pulled over by the police for speeding or any other reason and you don’t have these with you, you

could pay a huge fine or have to go to court.
