CERRITOS COLLEGE UPDATES AND MISCELLANEOUS 

It has been a while since I have given any specific updates about Cerritos College and multimedia journalism updates. 
This is going to look like delicious scrambled eggs with toasted bread and a tall glass of orange juice. Are your ready? 


CERRITOS COLLEGE ANTHROPOLOGY DEPARTMENT

Did you know Cerritos College has an Anthropology club? Its true. We have a great professor leading all the meetings. His name is Professor Rigby. He is a renowned Cultural Anthropologist. He has traveled all over the world and comes from a family of Anthropology. This man knows his stuff. He gives great lectures and has a candy dish full of great stories and packs you with organized information giving detailed historic background of cultures, places, traditions, and explanations for society throughout the cultural world both Western and primitive. To put it bluntly, you will be missing out on a great semester if you don't take at least one of his classes. 

Great news! Professor Rigby will be taking a group of students to Japan next year. It is open to all who want to join with some exceptions (no minors or trouble makers). You don't have to be taking an anthropology class or be in the club, although an interest in the subject might enhance your experience. I doubt Rigby will be hitting the bars every night. 


CERRITOS COLLEGE FILM & PRODUCTION DEGREE APPROVED

I would personally like to applaud those of you who are going for a film major. Its not an easy field to break into and it requires drive and passion. 

A formal congratulations to Cerritos College film majors, now you get the chance to get your AA degree in Film. Just a simpler step forward to your dreams. 

It is true, the California Chancellors office approved the Cerritos College Film Degree. This is a major step for Cerritos College and for students all over Long Beach county. When local community colleges and even Cali State schools are getting major budget cuts and shutting down whole departments (like Long Beach City College shutting down their nursing program).

Cerritos College stays strong and treads though the tough times and even comes out on top with this new Film Degree offering. 
Its a beacon of hope that although times are hard it is not impossible to do what you love. 




WORLD NEWS UPDATE: CONCLAVE FOR THE NEW POPE TODAY




You might ask yourself what this has to do with multimedia reporting, cerritos college, or the city itself? 

Well, it has a lot to do with all of them. First off, California has the largest population of Catholics than any state in the entire U.S. What does that mean for Cerritos College students? 
The demographics of Cerritos College are likely to amount to a large portion of Catholics attending the college. The new leader of their faith is being decided and contemplated in the Vatican Conclave just as I am typing these words. 

The fate of the religion hangs like a calm before a great storm that can bring either peace or destruction. There has been a lot of huss and fuss about St. Malachy's medieval prophecy. The ending of Pope Benedict XVI was the first resignation of any pope in over 600 years. The last pope to resign was Pope Gregory XII. He resigned to bring in a new pope and end the western Schism. This resignation was done in order to bring peace to an uproar. So, we can say this resignation of Pope Benedict XVI is the very first in all of Christianity. 


Today, is a major mark in history for all of us. Lets hope the conclave brings a man worthy to be a leader.

HTML UPDATE AND FINAL REVISION
Our HTML projects are done and turned in. Today, we looked at all of our projects and found the pros and cons of each one. Mine, I don't think I did so great. I was a little in the dark with how to put everything together. Next time I will have a better understanding of how to work with the application DREAMWEAVER. I will put in my HTML project on "healthy places to eat at Cerritos College" and you can judge for yourself at my first shot in creating this sort of webpage. While trying to find more information on Pope Benedict XVI and his papacy I stumbled across a really great interactive HTML that was a perfect example to what Mr. Cameron was teaching us in class. 
Here is a link to that interactive. Enjoy.  Life of Pope Benedict XVI
