GCC Forensics Performance Sweeps Awards in Chicago
Last week Professor Kirt Shineman's three-man Glendale Community College (GCC) Forensics Team won several major awards at a national forensics competition. Participating for only the second time at the American Reader's Theater Association National Championships in Chicago, the GCC team performed
Effroyables Jardins
(In Our Strange Gardens). Competing against colleges and universities from all 50 states, GCC's cirque du soleil-style "athletic" performance astounded the team of more than 20 entertainment-industry judges (including one from MTV and the president of VH1) who unanimously awarded them first place. They brought home to GCC a total of five big awards:
Best Show:

Older Americans Served at Glendale Community College
As national "Older Americans Month," May is an appropriate time to announce a new program of classes for the mature student at Glendale Community College (GCC). Called the "Academy for Lifelong Learning" (ALL), it is composed of classes, both credit and noncredit, that are specifically tailored for the older learner. Although anyone can register for them, they are designed for active older adults who wish to learn in a relaxed, informal setting with their peers. Summer semester, which begins June 1, will offer only noncredit classes such as Computer Basics, E-mail Workshop, Dream Interpretation, and travelogue classes. Call 623-845-3805 for a copy of the Summer Noncredit Schedule. The fall semester will include both credit and noncredit classes, with a heavy emphasis on computer classes. To be placed on a mailing list to receive a listing of ALL classes for fall, contact ALL Program Chairperson Sheryl Benavides at
sheryl.benavides@gcmail.maricopa.edu or leave a message at 623-845-3424. GCC is located at 6000 W. Olive Avenue in Glendale.
