Mona Field's daughter, Tania Verafield, will perform at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. on Oct. 27. The play, Beneath the Veil, is about women in Islam. Winner of the 2005 Los Angeles Theatre Festival's Critics' Choice Award, Beneath the Veil is the provocative and spine-chilling portrayal of the true lives of women and girls in the 21st century who have been forced to cover their faces in public, as well as those who freely choose to wear the veil.

Bob Lasiewicz, husband of Nalini Lasiewicz (energy Exhibit, GCC Science Center), has been accepted into the Ph.D. program at Fielding Graduate University, School of Educational Leadership and Change. Bob is president of Media InfoSystems, Inc. in La Canada.

Dr. Lee Miller Parks was honored at the annual conference of CAPED, the professional organization for postsecondary educators of students with disabilities.

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
