A Long Beach City College counselor who was previously fired for “elbowing” a student during the 2022 commencement ceremony has been rehired. During the commencement ceremony, Kashara Moore mispronounced LBCC graduate Carmina J. Barraza’s name. Moore’s elbow appeared to make contact with Barraza after the student corrected the pronunciation of her name, which caused Barraza to tell then Board of Trustees representative Herlinda Chico, “she elbowed me,” referring to Moore.
