Southern California higher education institutions and their respective mascots set forth to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles for a day of photo shoots and filming on November 15. Attendees included University of La Verne, UC Riverside, Pitzer College, CSU Northridge, California State Polytechnic University Pomona, and San Bernardino Valley College.

The mascots made full use of a closed off train platform and a coach reserved for the shoot. Attending the shoot were three CHC Student Senate officers: Internal Affairs Director Enggie Ocampo, Senator at Large Dalia Coleman, and Senator at Large Jairo Nhel De Vera.

Metrolink operates Arrow, the Redlands passenger rail service with five stations along the nine-mile route between downtown San Bernardino and downtown Redlands. The new service started on Monday, October 24. This Metrolink expansion allows students from all over the Inland Empire to commute to CHC with ease as there are over twenty trips per day to the Redlands Stations. OmniTrans public transportation takes care of any last- mile rail service needs with multiple routes directly to CHC.The College is committed to improving access to education and values partnerships with Metrolink and OmniTrans to help students with public transportation.
