THIS WEEK

The accrediting team will officially begin its visit next Tuesday, March 15, at 8 a.m., although team members will be on campus Monday afternoon to review documents. Each team member will be wearing an identification card so that they will be easy to recognize.

During their visit they will meet with a number of individuals and groups. They will also visit classes although they will probably stay for only a short time. If a team member should visit your class, it is not necessary to introduce them or do anything different than you would normally do.

There will be two open forums at which time anyone on cam-

pus, including students, can share thoughts and concerns with the team. One forum will be on Tuesday, March 15, noon–2 p.m. in Wilson Conference Room; the other will be on Wednesday, March 16, 5:30–6:30 p.m., also in WCR.

Everyone on campus is invited to hear the team’s exit report, scheduled on Thursday, March 17, 2–3 p.m. in H-131. All members of the campus community are strongly encouraged to attend this meeting as a large audience indicates there is general college-wide interest in the recommendations that the team will give us.

The college’s full Institutional Self Study in Support of Reaffirmation of Accreditation is available for review on the college Web site. Copies are also available in division and other administrative offices, as well as in the Library.

A photographic listing of the members of the accrediting team is available on the college’s Web site.

Accreditation Team on Campus March 15-17 The 11-member team will review documents

and meet with faculty, staff and administrators in considering reaffirmation of accreditation.

Nine years ago, the Cypress College Foundation initiated the “Alumnus of the Year” Award in celebration of the college’s 30th anniversary.

The award, presented at graduation, serves as recognition for the personal/professional achievements of our alumni and their contribu-tions to society.

The women’s basketball team has qualified for their first state tournament appear-ance since 1994 with a 75-66 win on March 5 over defend-ing state champion Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut. The victory by Cypress (25-5) also set a school record for wins in a season. The Lady Chargers open the state tour-ney, held March 11-13 at the University of San Diego, with a quarter-final contest Friday, March 11, against San Joaquin Delta College at 1 p.m. With a win, the Chargers would play again on Saturday at 5 p.m. in the semifinals. The champion-ship contest is scheduled for Sunday at 3:30 p.m. A web-cast is availabe for all games.

Sophomore midfield-ers Beth Wagenhoffer and Kristy Miller, of the 2004 state champion Cypress College women’s soccer team, have signed letters of intent with Indiana State University in Terre Haute.

Wagenhoffer scored 13 goals and had 21 assists for the season, and earned NSCAA All-America recogni-tion. She also was the co-MVP of the state tournament, and a first team Orange Empire Conference all-star.

Miller, a second team conference selection, record-ed five assists during the Chargers’ 22-1-1 campaign.

CHARGERS BRIEFLY‘1/2 – Semester’ Classes Begin the Week of March 28The second set of “1/2 Semester” classes begins

the week of March 28. Registration is now underway. For students already enrolled, these nine-week

courses are an opportunity to pick up an extra class and complete a full–length course in a compressed format.

The accelerated courses range from accounting to marketing, and from art to Web design. Many of the 83 classes provide transfer credit for our students who plan to transfer to universities.

In addition to accelerating graduation for our students and those at a university, several of the courses

are ideal for those hoping to enhance job skills or enrich their lives.

Many of the closed classes have expanded seat availability and are now open for additional enroll-ment.

Flyers and complete “1/2-Semester” course list-ings are being sent to each division office and will be available in various student services areas, including Admissions and Records. Students, and potential stu-dents, can call the Admissions and Records Office for more information at (714) 484-7346.

The schedule is available on the campus Web site.

Hate Crime Awareness Forum Scheduled for Tuesday, March 15A Hate Crime Awareness Forum will be held on Tuesday, March 15, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., in the Cypress

College campus theater. The forum will cover a contemporary analysis on how hate impacts the community. It will provide an over-

The process of select-ing this year’s recipient has begun, and nominations of candidates for this distinction are due to the Foundation Office by Tuesday, March 15. (The more information provided, the greater the chances of the nominee being selected.)

A new water line is being brought in from Holder Avenue for the water project that’s underway. It is part of the infrastructure to support our new buildings. Trenching has begun by the new L/LRC for the fire hydrants needed for the building.

The contractors are ahead of schedule and will be cutting across Circle Drive this Friday. There will always be one lane open for traffic and the cut will occur near lot 6.

Also on Friday a concrete pour is scheduled for the new elevator being built outside of the Library/Admin Building. Scaffolding has been erected in front of the building. There will be a walkway to get by in front of the building on Friday, but it will be busy.

Future projects that have an impact: To make way for the new Student Center, part of the piazza will be demolished begining in mid-May. The Student Center will begin construction in July. This will have a definite impact on our ability to cross the campus from north to south.

AccreditationTeam Members

Cypress CollegeSite VisitMarch, 2005

The 11-member accreditation team that will con-sider the college’s reaffirmation of accreditation is sched-uled to be on campus from March 15-17.

The team consists of faculty and administrators from other institutions in the state.

Accreditation team members will work from the Staff Conference Center while on campus. In that loca-tion, they will be reviewing documents and minutes of meetings, as well as interviewing some faculty, staff, stu-dents and administrators.

Additionally, they will be observing some meetings while on campus and visiting classes.

Because members of the team will be popping in to several classes while they are here, each will be wearing a name badge that will identify them as a member of the accreditation team.

As the visit comes to a close, the team will hold an exit interview. That session has been scheduled for Thursday, March 17, beginning at 2 p.m. The location will be determined at a later time.

All members of the campus community are encour-aged to attend the exit interview.

Cypress College is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

Members of the accreditation site visit team are charged with the responsibility of reviewing our pro-cesses presented in the college’s Institutional Self Study report on behalf of the Accrediting Commission.

The college’s full Institutional Self Study in Support of Reaffirmation of Accreditation is available on the campus Web site for review.

Accreditation Team on Campus March 15-17

The 11-member team will review documents and meet with faculty, staff and administrators in considering reaffirmation of accreditation.

Paul Paiement: Hybrids 1.0 - 3.5March 13-July 10, 2005

Paul Paiement: Hybrids 1.0 - 3.5, a five-year survey of this Los Angeles-based painter. Hybrids are an ongoing series ofwater color and egg tempera paintings based on psychological theories of visual perception. Acting at once as apainter, scientist, and entomologist, Los Angeles artist Paul Paiement creates a unique wonderland by combiningcommon everyday consumer objects into an über-species of colorful bugs, butterflies, praying mantises, and more.Employing the age-old technique of egg tempera, Paiement is able to achieve a wonderful luster in his panel paintings.

VISIT ABOUT EXHIBITS SUPPORT EDUCATION EVENTS COUNCILS

Paiement skillfully plays with ideas of manipulation and mass production, whereby his subjects are split evenly in two—one side insect, the other a man-made gadget. The effect is quite playful, yet thought-provoking; in a time when thescience of cloning, and the constant desire to make people, animals, and goods faster and better has reached a feverpitch, these paintings may also read as subversive.

Paiement has shown widely over the past ten years in solo and group shows in New York, Italy, the Netherlands,Canada, London, Chicago, and extensively in Southern California. His work was most recently featured at the IrvineFine Arts Center in Irvine, CA; in the international traveling exhibition Miniature in London and Tokyo; and in theexhibition Cyborg Manifesto or The Joy of Artifice at Laguna Art Museum. He is represented by Heather Marx Gallery inSan Francisco. Accompanied by a color catalogue. Organized by Laguna Art Museum chief curator Tyler Stallings.

Senior Day, 2005The college’s annual Senior Day took place on Thursday, March 10. Click here to view a photo gallery.

To all of the Cypress College family:

On behalf of the Student Activities Office and Senior Day Committee, We would like to take this opportunity to extend a personal thanks to all of those individuals who were actively involved in making our annual Senior Day a huge success. We welcomed 1,179 high school students to campus yesterday. This was the largest group of students in the past 5 years. I believe they left our campus with a positive experience, one that will hopefully draw some additional students for us. Special thanks to our committee for all of their time and effort in making this event so special - Jean England, Marc Posner, Monica Kim, Robert Grantham, Denise Vo, Don Tyrrell, Jose Recinos, Shirley Smith, Jose Siordia, Kathleen Reiland, and of course Becky Rojas with special help from Sara Hogg and Alex Johnson. We would like to thank all those divisions and programs who took part in providing such a special environment for our visitors. The attendance at the workshops exceeded our expectations - thanks to those who were presenting. Our M&O department thanks and all those individuals who were involved in set-up and clean-up. Our Counselling Department for in-take and information thanks. Our Campus Safety Department for traffic control (on the ground & in the air) and safety for our high school visitors. And all of the many Cypress College students who volunteered their time and effort. This is one event when we all come together for a common purpose - the recruitment of potential students.

Thank You,

Senior Day Committee
