Letter From The Editor
Hello! Pleased to meet you, my name is Delfino Camacho and I will be your Editor-In-Chief of The Union for this fall semester. I am a 30-year-old returning student and this is my fourth semester here at El Camino College.
One of the things I love about the journalism program here at El Camino is the variety of individuals it brings together. In my time at The Union I have worked with amazing people. Some younger than me and some older but all dedicated, creative and driven.
We here at The Union take our jobs very seriously. Yes we are students, yes we are learning and yes we have fun. But we are also committed to providing our college community with the latest and most important news. We can’t wait to see what the semester has in store and rest assured readers we will keep you updated. In the meanwhile, read The Union, support The Union.
Delfino Camacho,
Editor-In-Chief
