Good Evening!

Let me start off by apolgizing for the lack of posts since classes started!  There's been a lot going on and it's hard to keep track of anything!

Tonight, I'm writing to let people know about the Photography students' up and coming event. Mophotos, a photobooth to raise money and awareness for men's health issues such as prostate. Not only will the Photo 1 and 2 classes be creating a professional setup of make your own mustaches, props, face paint, etc, but we will be holding a bake sale as well!

I'm really excited that we get to be apart of this, relating to the class, we are to submit our documentation of the day.. so, this is going to help me with my goal of becoming an event photographer! I'm really excited.

Here are some pictures that will probably be on the promo posters (I am the one with the pink hair!), not taken by me, but I believe, Mark Archibald of the 2nd year class.

If you're at Waterfront Campus on November 28th, keep your eyes and ears open for infomation on when and where... I'm pretty sure it's all day, in the atrium.

On a side note, if anybody is interested in my website, it is here

Thanks for reading!

Congratulations to Alex Haider for picking up two Atlantic Journalism Awards this month.

Alex is graduating from the Radio and Television Arts program in June. Right now, she is completing her work term at Entertainment Tonight Canada and is only one of six students across the country that were selected to intern on the national program. Her dedication to learning the craft of storytelling and solid video journalism has earned her the $1,200 Province of Nova Scotia Scholarship as well as the $500 CNW Group Prize. Well done Alex!

Last week I had the chance to check out some NSCC grads at a really cool job site. Way back in the woods in the Mount Thom area (between Truro and New Glasgow) a big team of welders, machinists, ironworkers and technicians, among others, are erecting 34 wind turbines, which will channel the heavy winds coming off the Northumberland Strait and generate alternative energy for the province.

Driving around a turn on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, I all of a sudden came upon what looked like a scene from a science fiction movie. Stretching far onto the horizon were massive, sleek windmills, some of which were surrounded by teams of workers.

Pretty cool to see that cutting edge projects like this are happening right here in Nova Scotia, and that graduates from some of our programs are right in the thick of things. If you're interested in sustainable energy or trades programs, check out our program listings on the main page or send me an email with questions at thomas.ryan@nscc.ca and I'll help point you in the right direction.
