MILESTONES

Congratulations to Assessment Center Manager Kimberly Bryant and Dean of Student Affairs Paul Schlossman, who have just received doctorates in
Education from UCLA.

Gayla Chisholm's photographs will be showcased at The Crossroads Cafe in Joshua Tree for the month of May.  The photos feature scenes and landscapes of Joshua Tree National Park.  Some of the photos are also available for viewing in Instructional Services.

Alan Frazier's daughter, Erin, will graduate from the United States Air Force Academy on May 31, 2006. As a new second lieutenant, she will be assigned to the First Fighter Wing at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia. Erin is a 2002 graduate of Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, where she served as the senior class president and captain of the swimming and cross-country teams.

Leigh Podgorski of the Business and Life Skills Department at the Garfield Campus was just informed that her screenplay Act of Grace has been selected a finalist in the 2006 Women in Film & Video Screenwriting Competition. She will receive a Final Draft 7 Software Package and a six-month script listing on InkTip.com, among other prizes, and Women in Film and Video will be actively promoting her script.

Larry Serot reports that GCC was awarded the
Outstanding Risk Management Program Award for 2005 by our insurance JPA ASCIP.  Glendale is one of 120 colleges and school districts that belong to ASCIP.  Larry says, "It is great recognition for all the work done by Facilities, HR, Campus Police and the Health Center to keep the college a safe place to work.  I would also like a special mention for Mr. Ron Villa, who is a two- day-a-week risk manager
supplied to us under contract by ASCIP.  He is really the one who keeps us on top of things and is so quick to
respond to issues."  &

Do you have any milestones to share with us?

Chaparral wants you!

Unique Job Offer!

The Chaparral is seeking talented and committed individuals (no experience necessary) for the position of correspondent.

Write for the Chaparral!

Correspondents would manage and implement internal and external communications (meaning correspondents would commit themselves to write at least one article a year on a topic if interest to the college community).

Writers could represent their own interests, constituents’ interests (such as a member of the Academic Senate or a Guild officer could), community groups’ interests (such as departments, divisions, work areas), as well as the interest of the public at large.

Hiring the Best!

Preferred qualifications: most important, candidates should be pro-active and willing to take the initiative on articles and features, should work well under pressure, have the ability to prioritize, met deadlines, and demonstrate flexibility (in other words, get the article in on time).

We are particularly interested in finding younger faculty who, although interested, feel that they don’t have a lot of time to devote to campus issues, so they haven’t run for Senate of Guild offices, but they could find the time to devote to a single article in the course of a year, and thereby become involved in campus issues whether they be instructional, political, or social (maybe even parking).

Building Character!

The Chaparral is an equal opportunity employer, offering its writers no compensation, no perquisites, no benefits package (but if you work here you have them already); yet we do offer an extraordinary opportunity for professional development to those who are interested.

If curious, concerned or committed, contact the editor, Mona Field, at x5341 or send an e-mail to mfield@glendale.edu
