Below is a written transcript of the video:

"Hello everyone, my name is Jasmine Bledsoe. I am a Staff Assistant to the Dean of Enrollment here at Merritt College, and the Enrollment Services are comprised of many different programs within Student Services that help students along their scholastic journey. It's an awesome opportunity for me to be able to serve in the community that I grew up in, and also be able to serve at the institution that I attended prior to transferring. If you are interested in coming to Merritt College, this would be a great institution for you to get your degree, but also to be able to connect with various programs, and to be able to connect with the student body, and maybe even join student body council, which is what I did. You should come to Merritt College because we have the best view in all of East Bay, and also, we're a lovely campus that has supportive staff, faculty, and administration that will help you achieve your scholastic goals and dreams."
