Education and Disability (CAPED). Three of the specialists have
just completed their terms of leadership on CAPED's executive board.

Interest group for the last two years and served a two-year training
internship before assuming the leadership.

Education interest group for the last four years. Tina, Susan and
Lee have been responsible for planning pre-conferences and special
workshops and arranging for
certifications in their particular disciplines.
Professor
Osheen Keshishian, from EOPS, participated in the 2nd
International Conference on Literature, organized by the Armenian
Writers Union of Armenia, Oct. 10 to 15 in Armenia. The theme was
"National/Ethnic Identity in Literature." Keshishian spoke on "Ethnic
Identity Issues Among Armenian-American Writers Who Write in English."
There were 20 speakers from Armenia, the US, Belgium, France, Lebanon,
Syria, Iran, Russia, and Georgia.
Crossroads of Learning, an online training company owned by Bob and
Nalini Lasiewicz, has added a new course custom designed
for academic Learning Centers and supplemental educational services
providers (SES). The course provides comprehensive tutor
training which qualifies graduates for basic tutor certification from
the National Tutoring Association.
Paris Noori,

KFI 670 AM. She has been a regular guest on this program for the last
three years, talking about higher education across the country as well
as in California. Colleagues

recently joined her to discuss AB540 and Proposition 92.
Leigh Podgorski's film
We Are Still Here, the story of Katherine Siva Saubel and
the Cahuilla Indians of Southern California, has been designated an

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
