The NVC Digital Arts Academy will provide students interested in the digital media arts opportunities to participate in a week-long, workshop-format course that will introduce them to academic and career opportunities in digital arts and multimedia.
The academy format is designed for high school and first time college students in mind and does not require previous digital media or art or design experience.
Students in the course will learn how to create and manipulate images, videos, 3-D, animation, designs and photography utilizing industry standard software and equipment at the NVC campus.
Enrollment is open to all interested students, but limited to 24 total. A half-credit unit will be provided for the DART 85 class, and there are a limited number of fee waivers for qualifying students.
The week long academy will be taught by New Tech High Instructor James Brown and NVC Art and Design Instructors John Dotta and Alan Skinner. An orientation for the Digital Arts Academy will take place Monday, June 1, at 4 p.m. at the Napa Valley College Mac Lab, Room 3950, adjacent to the Art Department.

The program will begin at 6:30 p.m.
Nearly $150,000 in awards will be presented to high school and college students selected to receive 91 scholarships in all. It is the largest amount in scholarships since the Foundation began its yearly awards program, says Channing Cornell, Foundation Board member and chair of the Scholarship Committee.
A total of 37 recipients will be awarded Mendocino College Foundation scholarships in the amount of $1,700 each. The foundation contributes 80 percent of the total dollars awarded to students every year. In addition, local organizations, businesses, and individuals are among the other contributors to scholarship funding.
Donors who make the awards possible will also be acknowledged during the ceremony as Foundation members make the presentations and discuss the importance of the scholarship funds and donations.
Scholarships and awards that honor gifts from individuals’ trusts, estates and donations include the Evelyn R. Foote Scholarship, the Thomas M. Evans Sr. Scholarship, the George R. Szanik Scholarship, the Jim Meyer Scholarship, the Carl J. Ehmann Scholarship and the Mary Oosting Scholarship.
In addition, nursing students are selected for special scholarships, one in memory of Karen L. Atkinson and another honoring the memory of Heidi Marie Daniel. Three students interested in in-home care will receive the Kathleen Kohn Fetzer Foundation Nursing Scholarships.
Under the Directors/Trustees Annual Fund Scholarship, six students will be awarded $1,000 each. The funds are made possible by personal contributions from the Mendocino College Foundation directors and College trustees.
Five more $1,000 awards are made possible from the Bernard Osher Foundation Scholarship. The Osher Foundation donated $25 million to the Foundation for California Community Colleges to establish an endowment for permanent scholarship support.
This year’s number of awards and total award amount represents an increase of approximately 5 percent more than last year’s totals. The Mendocino College Foundation allows for an increase in the scholarship dollars in its budget each fiscal year.

On Tuesday, May 19, Paige Salvante will be presenting her portfolio. Following on Thursday, May 21, Bonnie Passley and Monica McGaffy will be presenting theirs. Sam Ayala is presenting on Tuesday, May 26, and on Thursday, May 28, Amanda Tchamourian and Kaitlyn Sliger will be presenting. We would like to wish them all good luck.
We would like to congratulate our students of the week. Will McAlister was student of the week for the last week of April. Dylan Sheldon took student of the week for the first week of May. These students received their student of the week because of their hard work and continuous gold status. Carlé
would like to congratulate these students for their hard work. Keep it up.
Art and science camp was the weekend of May 1 and 2. Mr. Maes, a teacher at Carlé, had participated in the camp. “It was a lot of fun, very interesting, and well put together,” he said.
At the first station, the camp played music. The second station dissected animal pellets. At the third station the kids made tule dolls. We would also like to thank DJ's Pizza for providing pizza for the camp. The kids also went to see a planetary show and after got to make sun dials. Sounds like these kids had a lot of fun.
We would like to thank all of the students who helped and participated in the Lake County Land Trust community service. There, students helped stuff envelopes, seal them, and stamp them.
On May 24, Carlé will play a big role in them Lower Lake Memorial parade, which starts at 11 a.m. Carlé takes the part of setting up the parade, cleaning up and even poop duty.
After the parade at noon, Without a Net will be performing at the wonderful barbecue at Russell Ristici Lower Lake Park. We need students from Carlé to help with the community service. It's a long day but it will be repaid with one credit.
The following day, at 6:45 a.m., Carlé will help with the Avenue of the Flags. This is the raising of over 300 flags for the veterans at the Lower Lake Memorial Graveyard. Helpers will get coffee and donuts in the morning.
This day will be worth six hours. If a Carlé student signs up for both days they will receive two whole credits, and if they do poop duty on top of that, they will get two and a half credits. You do not have to sign up for both days, but your help will be much appreciated. If you are interested in signing for
either day, contact Alan Siegel.
Carlé would also like to wish luck to all the students who took the Star Test on May 11 through May 15. Carlé is counting on you.
Amanda Tchamourian is a student at Carlé High School in Lower Lake.
