A witness in the trial of former PCC student Isaac Campbell on Thursday described Campbell’s final days before he fled to Minnesota in 2007, and painted him as a drug dealer who had enthusiasm for mixed martial arts.

Campbell is charged in the August 2007 slaying of his girlfriend Liya “Jessie” Lu, a PCC graduate, and attempting to hide her body in a trash bag filled with kitty litter. Campbell’s  friend, Michael Darby, discovered her body in a blue trash can in after Campbell asked him to store the trash can at his house.

The murder trial of former PCC student Isaac Campbell continued with more testimony on Nov. 15 and will resume with additional witnesses today.

An off-shoot of the Occupy Pasadena protest group calling itself the PCC General Assembly appears to be forming on campus and planning future activities.

Several Veterans’ Day events, offering learning opportunities for student veterans and others, were held throughout the campus on the days leading up to the Veteran’s Day national holiday.

Alumni working their dream jobs can inspire and motivate students to make steps towards success. For example, Nicky Geezy graduated from the TVR program and is now a producer and on-air talent at Power 106 FM for Big Boy’s Neighborhood.

Geezy gave The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) tips on how to survive in the industry on Tuesday in C155.

Veterans of the past and present at PCC were honored with a memorial service in front of the Veterans Memorial Wall on Nov. 10.

President Mark Rocha, Veterans Club President Cameron White and special guest speaker Lt. Colonel Richard Bianchino, USMC (retired) spoke in honor of veterans.

World Boxing Association lightweight champion Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini showed support for PCC’s veteran students last week when he visited the Veterans Resource Center.

The process of realigning teaching divisions is a thinly veiled effort by PCC’s administration to destroy shared governance, faculty members and staff claimed at a Board of Trustees meeting last week.
