Hancock Students Connect with Peers, Faculty, & Resources at Bulldog Bow-WOW
FEBRUARY 5, 20225-- Allan Hancock College invited students taking spring classes to a fun and informative Bulldog Bow-WOW welcome event on Feb. 5 at the college’s Santa Maria campus.
Students who attended the event had the opportunity to meet faculty and staff, learn
about support services such as counseling and financial aid, and explore various academic
and career pathways. Attendees also enjoyed free food, music, and giveaways while
engaging with the college’s many student clubs and organizations.
“This is a great way to get out and let students know about what our club does and
what we are about,” said Emily Limon, a Hancock student and member of the college’s
Fashion and Design Club. “For new students, joining a club can break the ice and also
open them up to trying new things.”
For MESA/STEM Center Tutoring Coordinator Bryce Miyahara, the event was also an opportunity
to tell students about important resources they might not know about.
“I’ve already run into some students who had STEM majors but didn’t know about the
services we provide at the center,” he said. “Bulldog Bow-WOW is one of many ways
we can get the word out.”
Bulldog Bow-WOW is one of several Week of Welcome (WOW) events at Hancock this February.
The college will also host a Baseball & BBQ pregame celebration on Feb. 11 at 12:30
p.m. at the baseball/softball complex on the Santa Maria campus. The event will include
food, fun activities and a student vs. staff softball game. Students can stay and
watch Hancock’s baseball team take on College of the Sequoias.
To close out the WOW festivities, Hancock will host a second Bulldog Bow-WOW at the
Lompoc Valley Center on Feb. 12 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., providing another opportunity
for LVC students to connect with Hancock’s vibrant campus community.
