JEFF LAGUNA: My
name is Jeff Laguna.
I'm the Interim Dean
of Health Sciences.
Public Service,
Culture and Society
is really about understanding
the world in which we live.
It's all a group
of programs that
are really studying society
and culture as we know it.
We have political science,
psychology, sociology,
anthropology, law.
WYNTER MURO: All of
these different majors
tie towards the same
end goal, the desire
to want to help other people.
I'm Natalya Wynter
Muro, and I am
a Chaffey graduate, who majored
in administration of justice.
Initially, I wasn't sure
what major I wanted,
and it wasn't until I had taken
a law and society class that
really influenced my decision
to change to this major
to help with community, in
terms of social injustices
and different
variations of that.
JEFF LAGUNA: Students
that join us, ACC, they're
going to be challenged to see
the world in different ways,
and they're going to be
equipped with the tools
that they need in order to have
a positive impact on society.
WYNTER MURO: Chaffey
College has provided me
with so many different resources
throughout my time here.
Between the Transfer Center,
between amazing professors,
Chaffey does want
to help you, and you
should take every opportunity
that you can grasp on to.
JEFF LAGUNA: The Public
Service, Culture and Society ACC
is built with the
student in mind.
Success is defined
as student success.
Programs that will provide
students with jobs and careers
immediately following Chaffey,
or opportunities for them
to transfer on to
four year institutions
to reach their academic
and career goals.
WYNTER MURO: My academic
career-end goals really
lie in pursuing criminology.
I hope to become a lawyer
and a criminal prosecutor.
JEFF LAGUNA: If you like
working with people,
if you like positively impacting
the lives of those around you,
if you like problem
solving and addressing
some of the unique challenges
that society presents
to positively impact the
lives of people around you,
then the Public Service, Culture
and Society ACC is for you.
