1976 Alum Steve Tracy has art work featured in NC Gallery

While surfing the web I came across information about MSCD graduate and artist Steve Tracy. Exploring further, I discovered photos of his artwork online. He is an incredible artist. I have no skills in the area of assessing artwork, but as I scrolled through the pages I kept saying to myself, "Wow."

Steve graduated from Metro State in 1976. Since then he has won countless awards for his art. Among other places, his work is now featured the gallery, A Boy & His Dog Fine Art, in Asheville, NC. To check out the work at this gallery, click here.

You can also go directly to his website for more information. Like I said, "WOW." It is worth checking out.

MSCD Master Teacher in Child Development featured on "Regarding Nannies" blog

1998 INA Nanny of the Year Cynthia Wilkinson

Cynthia divides her time between her nanny career and her career as a professional musician. In 2000, Cynthia released her first children's CD called Jumpin' Up to the Moon and in 2003, she released Jumpin' On Down the Road. Cynthia is still very involved as a nanny for her 5 year old charge, Blake, and has enjoyed serving as a nanny mentor for INA. In 2004, she launched her website, jumpinwithcindy.com, where she can now market her CD's to a national audience. Cynthia is also a faculty member of the Swallow Hill Music School and the Denver Center Theatre Academy, as well as an Artist in Residence with Young Audiences and the director of the children's choir, "Sound Seekers". Her work with children also includes serving as Master Teacher for the Metropolitan State College of Denver's Child Development Center and presenting at conferences throughout the country.

How receiving the NOTY™ award has impacted her career: Cynthia says "It was a wonderful experience to serve the nanny profession as NOTY™. One highlight was being featured on a local PBS program. I was not filmed or interviewed, but journalists from the Denver area discussed a story about me that was written in the Denver Post. They focused on my high level of education and professionalism. It was such an honor to be treated with respect by the press and not to be involved in a "tabloid level" of reporting. I was proud to be able to spread the word that there are many true professionals who have chosen to become career nannies."

What is she doing now? Cynthia is working as a nanny in the Denver area for an 18 month old girl and is celebrating her 10th year as a member of the faculty at the Denver Center Theatre Academy. In her spare time, she assists with a children's choir, and recently performed with the choir on her hammered dulcimer. Cynthia also enjoys being active in INA and writes for the associations newsletter, INAVision. Cynthia hopes to release her first lullaby CD, Jumpin' Into Dreamland, this spring.

Words of wisdom: Be creative in finding new ways to make your nanny career interesting. Look "outside the box" for new avenues to travel on your nanny journey.

Metro State turns to stimulus bonds for new building--12/13 Denver Post article

I just found this article on what Metro is doing with the stimulus funds in the Denver Post...
-Lizzy

Metropolitan State College is using government-subsidized stimulus bonds to pay for a new building that will free up more classroom space on the overcrowded campus.

It is the first time a college in the state has used the low-interest Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds — created by the Obama administration to boost an ailing economy — to reduce construction costs.

The federal government will pay 45 percent of the interest on the $52 million building, a subsidy that reduces the interest rate on the bonds to 3.35 percent.

"That is the lowest in Colorado since the early '60s," said Metro State spokeswoman Cathy Lucas.

Enrollment at the school, now at a record 22,904, has climbed steadily

The new Metro State building will replace the trailers that are used as offices and classrooms. (RJ Sangosti, The Denver Post )over the past few years, rising 5.5 percent last year alone.

Good morning! ROTC on campus and new group for vets

Good morning Metro State Alum,

I've got some news for you this cold (but not as bad as the last few days) morning. I've linked to an article about ROTC on the Auraria Campus in the InDenverTimes.com (Click here). Though published October 29th, it is a timeless article and it relates to an interesting Veteran I chatted with yesterday.

In regards to the person I communicated with yesterday: A MSCD student-to-be in 2010 and a Service Officer for the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Phil Egger is a junior-to-be, starting in 2010. Egger recently started the group, Auraria Campus Veterans Organization & Their Families. He feels strongly that the Auraria Campus, including MSCD, UCD, and CCD, need a Veterans Organization. There are an estimated 600 to 800 veterans on campus, but no known organization under which they can united on the Auraria campus, he says.

"We need to bond and stand up together and quit being individuals," Egger explained. The group is open to all vets and their families.

"Branch of service does not matter,” Egger says. “You can be combat vets, cold war vets, it doesn't matter. You served and you deserve advocacy, guidance, and socialization of like-minded veterans.” He added that military families using benefits are more than welcome, as are both males and females.

Though he has found support from various existing veterans’ organizations, Egger is looking for some help getting things going. For more information, contact Egger on Facebook or via his metro email at: peggers@mscd.edu with the subject title, "I am a veteran."

Daniel Rojas Memorial Fund

While wandering through the world of social media, I came across this incredible story. A Colombian immigrant, Daniel Rojas graduated from Metro State and eventually attained his dream of becoming a pilot. Unfortunately, he died this year. A fund has been set up to educate his daughter, Gaby. Read on...

Store by Andrea Rawlinson Johnson

Metro State Alumni Daniel Rojas lost his life January 15, 2009 in a tragic aviation-related accident near Wray, Colorado.

I had the honor of meeting Daniel as he was hired as a co-pilot on our Lear Jet with AirLife Denver. I was incredibly impressed with his determination to overcome the obstacles that he had faced to pursue his dream of becoming a pilot.

Daniel grew up in Medellín, Colombia, amid the constant threat of danger and violence in the ongoing battle between the Colombian government and drug cartels. His uncle moved to the United States and later sent Daniel a one-way ticket here. Daniel arrived in Denver in September of 1998, at age 23, unable to speak English, with $500, a pair of tennis shoes, two changes of clothes, and a belief in the American Dream. He enrolled in the ESL (english as a second language) program at CU-Denver and got a job with the Denver Post delivering 500 newspapers a day on TWO newspaper routes. He subsequently took on an additional job as a Shift Supervisor for Starbucks. During this time, Daniel decided to pursue his life-long dream of becoming a pilot. He enrolled at Metro State College full-time (while working two jobs) and received a BS in Aviation Technology in 2004.

While building flying time and finishing his pilot ratings, Daniel was a Line Service Technician for Denver Jet Center and then worked the counter at the Pilot Shop at Centennial Airport. He went to work for Flights, Inc. teaching new pilots and was recently promoted to Assistant Chief Flight Instructor. In August 2006, he began flying part-time as a contract pilot for J-W Operating Company, an oil and gas services company with headquarters in Dallas and offices around the country. Daniel flew a Cessna 210, Aerostar, and Turbo Commander for J-W.

Daniel was hired by International Jet August 2008 as a Learjet First Officer and he was recently certified as a First Officer on our King Air. At his request, he had been assigned to our AirLife of Denver air ambulance. He was an excellent pilot and stellar employee.

Daniel is survived by his wife, Leslie, and their 20-month-old daughter Gabriela ("Gaby") and his extended family.

Please forward this message to anyone who might be interested.

Daniel's Memory can be honored with donations to Gabriela's education Fund.

What a gorgeous photo of St. Cajetan’s Church

The Spanish Colonial St. Cajetan’s Church, built in l925, was one of three Catholic churches clustered within a six block radius in the Auraria neighborhood. St. Cajetan’s served as the focus of Auraria’s Spanish-speaking community until 1973, when construction of the Auraria Campus forced the parish to relocate. The landmark church now serves as a multi- purpose auditorium for lectures, concerts, recitals and other community events (http://www.ahec.edu/campus/landmarks.htm)

This Week At Metro: Graduates cover a broad spectrum of experiences, Kevin Darcy

Kevin Darcy

Kevin Darcy had only been driving a year when he started to go blind. For anyone, the thought of going blind is horrifying. It is even more so when you are only 17. "It started really slow at first and was only in my right eye. Then, while I was reading books, pieces of letters weren't there. Teachers thought I was out of my mind," says Darcy, now 29, who is preparing to graduate with a double degree in anthropology and history.

The cause turned out to be a genetic condition onset in the teen years. Though the (now) father of two has not let the obstacle stop him from moving forward, he admits that time has been a huge factor. "I have to scan worksheets and texts so that I can enlarge letters to about an inch or so. All of my books get scanned into a Word document and my computer has a program that speaks to me."

Darcy, who has 20/400 vision, does not have a seeing-eye dog. He says he sometimes "misses a step and goes down, but that's life. "He just gets up and continues moving forward. It's a great lesson to share with others, he believes, specifically teens.

Darcy is also working towards teacher licensure and says his ideal job would be to teach history to high school students.

This Week At Metro: Graduates cover a broad spectrum of experiences, David Morgan

David Morgan

David Morgan, 44, has played and coached soccer for Metro State. Now the assistant coach for women's soccer can add college graduate to his list of accomplishments.

Morgan began at Metro State in 1983 on a soccer scholarship. In 1986, he left the College mid-semester of his senior year to travel the country playing professional soccer for the Colorado Comets. After his experiences in the professional realm of soccer he came back to Metro State, and has been an assistant coach for six years. From 2000-2005, he coached under Danny Sanchez. The Roadrunners won the national championship in 2004.

"Education is everything," says Morgan, an education student his first three years at Metro State. He returned as a result of recruitment efforts funded by a grant from the Department of Higher Education to encourage former students to complete their degree.

For Morgan this was the perfect opportunity as his real-world experience gained over the years could be used to supplement classroom credits through the Individualized Degree Program. This allowed him to personalize a degree concentrated on sports administration.

This Week At Metro: Graduates cover a broad spectrum of experiences, Eva Vasquez

Eva Vasquez

At 23 years old, Eva Vasquez has experienced a wealth of adversity. When she was in high school, her brother and cousin were killed in the same car crash. "When my older brother Edgar died, I missed school for a month. I was not focused," she says. When high school graduation came, "the school put a seat for him next to me" and she made it through.

Also while she was in high school, her grandparents were assassinated in Mexico. Since then, the Denver native has married and is the mother of two but her husband was deported.

Now, Eva is graduating with a degree in business management and a minor in Spanish. She hopes to start her own business with the guidance of her father, who owns a local Mexican retail shop in Denver. "I grew up working in the store."

She notes the College's TRIO program helped her with the transition from high school to college. "I was in doubt about college. I thought it was too hard. But the TRIO program helped."

The first in her family to go to a four-year college, Eva understands that she is a now a role model.Eva's younger sister is a sophomore at Metro State.

This Week At Metro: Graduates cover a broad spectrum of experiences, Adesola Owolabi

An artist, a soccer coach, an entrepreneur, and an anthropologist are among the 1,066 students expected to receive their diploma at the commencement ceremony at 2 p.m. on Sunday at the Colorado Convention Center. Their journeys represent a sampling of the widely varied experiences of Metro State students in earning their college degrees.

Adesola Owolabi

Adesola Owolabi's (Ad-dee-sola O-wo-la-bee) husband thought she was crazy when she decided to switch her studies from computer information systems to art with an emphasis in ceramics. It started in 2006 with a simple glance into a ceramics class. From that point, she was hooked. On Sunday, the 35-year-old Nigerian-born art major will graduate from Metro State.

When her husband Bola, a 2001 Metro State grad in engineering technology, took a software engineer job in Kansas City, Missouri in 2007, the couple created a plan where she could remain in Denver to finish her program. Adesola stayed in Denver with their son, Justin, who was three at the time. Then they had another son, Jordan, who stays with Bola. It has worked, but Adesola is looking forward to joining her husband in Kansas City. She also plans to go to graduate school.

She is exhibiting her work, along with that of other students, at the BFA Thesis Exhibitions that run through Dec. 10 at the Center for Visual Art. Her exhibit "Ikoko Ibile" features a series of vessels -- averaging two feet tall -- which take a critical view of decoration within her cultural identity, the Yoruba culture.

Stray cat strolls into Metro student's home via social media

This fun Denver Post article documents the story behind a Metro State College student's adoption of a pet tabby after discovering it via Reddit.com, a social news aggregator.

Sandra Lawrence, a "Redditor" who regular contributes to Reddit.com, posted a note about the kitty referencing the term, "Om Nom Nom." According to the article, "'Om Nom Nom' — slang for enthusiastic dining — is a hot Internet meme (a bit of pop culture propagated via e-mail, word of mouth and links) derived from Lolcats, another wildly popular Internet meme featuring digital images of cats, with quirky captions." The post elicited numerous responses and an ensuing discussion and resulted in the adoption of the kitty by Ben Jones.
