Like peanut butter and jelly

Branded in ETC! Check it out!
“Though business and design work together like peanut butter and jelly in “the real world,” the programs on campus often don’t. “We’re a small school, but there are a lot of faces here I’ve never seen before,” said AIGA President Jeremy Sanford at the event.”

Social business projects win funding, get tested by pros

Social Venture Competitions are being implemented on numerous college campuses.

“The top winning team taking home $10,000 was Nuru Light — Charles Ishimwe from Adventist University of Central Africa and Max Fraden of the University of Massachusetts Medical School — who also won the GSEC People’s Choice Award and Investor’s Choice Award. The team created a clean and affordable alternative to kerosene as a light source in Rwanda. The portable, rechargeable lights are the size and shape of a tape measure and the charger is a portable box with a bicycle-style pedal.”

“The student work for SVPC is moving along at a supersonic speed. We have about 25 projects in the works. Student teams are fine-tuning their plans as the deadline for submitting the written plan approaches (March 17th). Ventures at the April 21st Showcase will range from paperless transactions to art education in Malawi to networking of commuters to homeless youth in Seattle.

Production highlight

Meet Ian Van der Werff, a Senior, Communication major. You may have noticed Ian in the back of class week after week recording the lecture. Some of you have experienced Mr. Van der Werff at his finest as he uses his skills with the camera to create a artsy shot of your interviews.

It should come as no surprise to you to hear that Ian is pursueing a career in film and currently works in the film industry. Something you may not know about Ian is that he loves soccer. A random quote I stole off his facebook is,”Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact it’s an opinion. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.”

Next time you see Ian give him a big hug!
