Fall Film Course Counts for Theme O
English 303 Survey of American Film (Women in Film) as offered by Dr. Houston in the Fall will fulfill a requirement in Theme O: Women’s Issues. Because the course is being taught as a survey of women in American film, the course will count for the same requirement as English 360 Women Writers and it can be used as an advising substitute to taking that class. However, students who take both 303 and 360 cannot get double credit for the requirement in Theme O.
For more information, contact the instructor of the course, Dr. Lynn Marie Houston, or visit her Web site to see a flyer for the course. Dr. Kate McCarthy, coordinator of the Women’s Issues theme, can also be contacted for more information.

This summer come study and experiment how to merge innovative interactive technology with history, art, and culture in the castle of a breathtaking medieval town in the heart of Italy.
Contigliano is an undiscovered medieval citadel in the center of Italy, in the province of Rieti surrounded by nature, one hour from Rome.
This workshop is a 2-week full-time course, designed for students, scholars, and artists from architecture, design, media arts, and engineering fields about media theory, visual arts, and technology in their relation to oral history and urban interaction. The workshop has classes in English and offers quality individual tutoring, and is designed for the students to produce, at the end of the training, a multimedia art work to be exhibited in the medieval town. Moreover, this experience abroad wants to create an ongoing dialogue between international artists, as a longer term project.
The workshop is organized by the non-profit association MEDIARS (Center for Interactive Media for Art and Entertainment) in collaboration with the town of Contigliano, together with international scholars from California State University, Chico, UCLA, the University of Florence and the University of l’Aquila.

Retirement Reception for Dennis Graham - This Wednesday - May 21
Please join us in a retirement celebration honoring former Vice President for Business and Finance Dennis Graham this Wed., May 21, from 3pm - 5pm in the Student Services Center lobby. Dennis served as Vice President for Business and Finance for the past 11 years and has been instrumental in our most recent master plan development, and the planning and development of many major capital projects. We are, therefore, extremely pleased to be able to host his retirement party in the newly completed Student Services Center.
Dennis was a leader in bringing sustainability to our campus, which has led to CSU, Chico being recognized as a leader in sustainability in the CSU System. Dennis invited the California Integrated Waste Management Board to the table to help in the development of our goal to obtain a GOLD LEED rating for the Student Services building. This planning began six years ago when sustainability and LEED certifications were still developing. He was instrumental in obtaining campus and System buy-in to build sustainable buildings and maintain the existing buildings using sustainable products. His legacy to this campus is not only in the buildings that have been built during his tenure, but also the mindset to build a healthier environment for our future students and generations to come.
Please Note: The Retirement Reception will be held and limited to access in the lobby of the first floor of the new building. There will be no other access to any other areas of the building. Please enter the building for the reception through the main entrance at Second and Ivy Streets. We will have an official open house for the entire building at a later date.
