"Medicine of Peacemaking" Brought to GCC, Oct. 10
Mandaza Kandemwa, a traditional Bantu healer (nganga) from Zimbabwe, will speak at Glendale Community College on Tues., Oct.10, 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. in Math Building Rm. 142 (MA-142). Known worldwide as a healer and peacemaker, Mandaza is making his fifth public-speaking visit to the U.S. and Canada at this time of great global unrest. Dr. Douglas Brenner, GCC professor of communication, has arranged Mandaza's visit to GCC. "At a time when the medicine of peacemaking is essential and necessary, he brings ancient wisdom from the African healing practices and peacemaking teachings of Zimbabwe," says Brenner, who experienced a healing session with Mandaza while visiting Africa in 2005. For more information, contact Brenner at
douglas.brenner@gcmail.maricopa.edu or 623.845.3253. Glendale Community College is located at 59th and Olive Avenues in Glendale. This presentation is free and open to the public.
16th GCC Nursing Student Wins Banner Thunderbird Scholarship
Molly Macy will have her costs for nursing training at Glendale Community College covered by a $6,000 scholarship from the Banner Thunderbird Medical Center Volunteers (BTMCV). It will cover her tuition, books and other expenses during the two-year GCC nursing program. Macy is the 16th GCC nursing student to win a BTMCV scholarship since the program began in 1993. Volunteers fund two GCC nursing scholarships each year. BTMCV Director Kathy Lane says, "These scholarships are a real win-win for Arizona and our hospital, as well as for the students who receive them. New nurses help ease the nursing shortage in Arizona, and several GCC nurses who won our scholarships have worked at our hospital either during or after their training." GCC is located at 6000 W. Olive Avenue in Glendale. For more information about the GCC nursing program, visit www.gc.maricopa.edu/nursing or call 623.845.3200 or 623.845.3210.
