This Wednesday, September 28, the women of the Fighting Cacti volleyball team will play their season home opener against College of the Desert Roadrunners in the Bell Center at Copper Mountain College in Joshua Tree. The Fighting Cacti are looking for their first win of the season after having two matches postponed and losing to Saddleback and Rio Hondo earlier this month.

Copper Mountain College student Grace Bjerke recently completed a 100-hour internship with Joshua Tree National Park Volunteers-In-the-Park Program. Her successful completion of the internship was commemorated at the Joshua Tree National Park Visitor Center by representatives from both the college and the national park.
