SunTran’s proposed route changes may affect Pima students

In early August, SunTran and the City of Tucson announced extensive bus route plan changes being discussed with the goal of “creating a more equitable, effective, and efficient transit network”. SunTran’s proposed changes affect nearly all current routes, including those leading to and from Pima’s campuses. Plans include more frequent service and extended hours, including on weekends. While some view the potential changes as promising, others, especially those who heavily rely on the buses’ current routes, are unsure about the proposed changes. SunTran's 3 bus parked at the East campus, September 21, 2023 According to a 2022 study conducted by the ETC Institute, 20.9% of surveyed riders were students, many of whom are Pima students who will be affected by the proposed changes.

Pima Participates in Deaf Awareness Month

By RUTH BEHRPima Post September is Deaf Awareness Month, a time to recognize the unique culture and languages of the Deaf community. The North American Deaf community includes those who are deaf, deafblind, and hard-of-hearing as well as Children of Deaf Adults (CODAs).  According to Gallaudet University, approximately 0.9-2.2% of the US population has what the University refers to as “a severe hearing impairment or is functionally deaf.” While not all those people are part of the Deaf community, Ernest Willman, one of Pima’s American Sign Language professors, is among them. Willman, speaking through an interpreter, says, "I am from a generationally Deaf family. My parents are Deaf and my siblings are also Deaf." While the Deaf community is vast and diverse, they ar...

La Vida Real Detrás de Tus Mentores

By Mara Durán Poco sabemos sobre la vida de los maestros de Pima Community College (PCC). No nos detenemos a pensar en quienes son, ni cómo han logrado llegar a donde están, lo que sí es un hecho es que todas las personas son el resultado de un bagaje cultural que podemos conocer para enriquecernos a través de sus experiencias, llenas de lucha, crecimiento e inspiración.  Les presento a Guadalupe Annette Cruikshank, su familia y amigos la conocen como Lupita, pero en su trabajo todos le dicen Guadalupe. Es una mujer profesionista, dinámica, amable, agradecida con la vida, maestra de español y traducción en PCC desde el año de 1998.  Un dato muy significativo es que egresó de Pima. Guadalupe recuerda haber tenido experiencias que enriquecieron su aprendizaje, menciona que sus maestros y c...
