Palomar students nominated for Emmy
Seven Palomar College radio & television and cinema students were nominated for Emmy awards for outstanding student achievement awards for the Pacific Southwest Region by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS).
Christina Bale, Robert Winsman and Peter Stoll were nominated from Palomar's student-produced TV news program, North County News. North County News is a half-hour program running every week that covers the news affecting local residents and is shown on cablecast on Cox and Time-Warner, channel 16.
Three cinema students are from Primetime Palomar, which is a student-produced, live half-hour news show strictly for Palomar students, faculty and staff. Daniel Maggi, Kim Mendenhal, Alex Awad, and Regi Rae were all nominated for outstanding student achievement.
This isn't the first time Palomar students have received nominations; 26 students have received Emmy awards to date.
Many students have gone on from the radio & television and cinema programs at Palomar to succeed in important positions.
Nominee Regi Rae is currently an editor for FOX 6 News, and four others from last year's NCN class are currently working as reporters and editors for professional television news areas.
The 34th annual Emmy 2008 award event will be held June 14 at the La Costa Resort and Spa. For more information on the Radio and TV Broadcast Journalism certificate courses, or the NCN, or Primetime Palomar shows, contact Pat Hahn, associate professor at (760) 744-1150, ext. 2964.
Phi Theta Kappa hosts donation drive
Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society of community colleges, is holding an annual donation drive in the interest of fighting both illiteracy and poverty, called "Project Graduation: Feed a body. Feed a mind."
The Palomar branch, Alpha Omega Rho, is collecting any non-perishable food items for the Palomar College food pantry, and books, especially children's books, for the non-profit organization Kiwanis International.
Donations can be brought to the Office of Student Affairs, which is located on the second floor of the Student Union building (room SU-202).
The drive will run through the end of the semester on May 23.
Additionally, there will be a marked booth at the commencement ceremony. "We're hoping that each graduate brings at least one can or book to commencement," said Melissa Gilkes-Smith, president of Alpha Omega Rho.
Gilkes-Smith added that the group hopes to begin the next school year's drive earlier, starting this fall, to maximize the time in which students and staff can donate the requested items.
Palomar graduation honors announced
Palomar College announced Judge Anthony J. Brandenburg will be awarded as the 2008 "Alumnus of the Year" and long-time college benefactor Melvin Cohn will be honored with an Honorary Degree at the schools May 23 graduation.
As generous supporters of Palomar College, Cohn and his wife Betty have become advocates for Palomar College students, especially those focused on gaining certificates in vocational education programs.
Foundation Director Richard Talmo said, "Since 1993, the Cohns have been, and continue to be tremendously supportive of Palomar students, through scholarship funds."
Brandenburg is currently serving as Chief Judge of the Intertribal Court of Southern California.
Brandenburg's career has included more than 16 years of service on the bench in both the Municipal and Superior Courts at the Vista courthouse. In addition, he has worked as a lawyer in private practice, as an entrepreneur and as an educator.
"I have high regard for Palomar College," Brandenburg said in a statement. "My work there provided a solid foundation for my career in both the law and education fields."
Brandenburg began his educational pursuits at Palomar in 1963 after serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. He received his Associate of Arts degree from Palomar in 1965.
Palomar's commencement ceremony begins at 5 p.m. May 23 on the football practice field at the San Marcos campus.
