Two seemingly different academic disciplines come together for a unique seminar open to the public this summer at 鶹avӳý. “Flying Information” will focus on how we learn to read codes, patterns, signs, and symbols and navigate webs of meaning Monday, June 2, through Friday, June 6, from 9 a.m. to noon. Marilyn McEntyre, professor of English, and Wayne Iba, professor of computer science, will teach the course.
Two 鶹avӳý art professors earned awards for their recent work, and several art students were featured in an exhibit in Sacramento last month.
鶹avӳý’s student life office awarded 12 outstanding students for their leadership during the past year. The David K. Winter Character Through Servant Leadership Award is given each spring to students who show exemplary leadership through service at 鶹avӳý and in the community.
Each student receives $2,000 toward tuition during the next school year.
鶹avӳý’s famed C.S. Lewis wardrobe will take a five-year journey with “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition,” a state-of-the-art presentation based on the Disney film series and Lewis’s beloved fictional books. The exhibit, premiering June 7 at Arizona Science Center in Phoenix, features artifacts from Lewis’s personal study as well as the wardrobe.
Gayle Beebe presided over his first 鶹avӳý Commencement as president of the college May 3, handing diplomas to 310 graduating students, 109 graduating with honors.
