Things to Note

>>>The theater arts department is seeking immigrant experience story submissions  to contribute to the creation of an upcoming spring '07 play tentatively titled,"Getting Here: A theatre project about immigrants in their own words."  Stories will be shaped into performance pieces—actors portraying immigrants to the United States from around the world telling about "getting here" in their own words. Stories must be true and short, and can be in the form of narrative, monologue, poetry, song, or words that could be put to music or dance. Other artistic mediums are welcome: photos, art, flash animation, or anything that could be projected on a screen as subject matter, background, or counterpoint to what’s happening on stage. The play is non-political and holds no stance on the politics of immigration. For inquiries or to send material, please contact Robin Huber at rhuber@cerritos.edu or ext.2649.  For more information, please click here to visit the "Getting Here" website. 
 

>>> The Cerritos College Child Development Center is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and invites the campus to participate in several events during the next few months:

Additionally, the center is offering Child Development Center t-shirts for sale in Cerritos College blue (adult sizes). These are offered to alumni families at a discounted rate of $6 per shirt.
