Where does The Clipper fit into my long term goals?

With the degree I am currently working towards being communications, I feel that working on The Clipper will allow me to discover what working in a true communications work-force will be like, all the while making closer friends.

What are you doing when you aren't at The Clipper?

When I'm not working on The Clipper or doing homework, I love to read books, take photos (one of my biggest passions), explore nature, travel and play with my cats.

What is on your bucket list?

The biggest thing that sits at the very top of my bucket list is to work at NASA. I have always loved learning about space, and I'd spend hours outside looking up at the stars in awe. Although being an astronaut is out of the picture for me, I hope to someday work in their Human Resources department.

EvCC’s new president, Dr. Daria J. Willis will begin her presidency on July 1, 2019. Dr. WIllis says, [on being the first African American to lead EvCC], “I am excited to have this honor and the opportunity, but I’m also hoping that I will not be the only president of African American descent at EvCC or any other institution.”

“Feather Star” by Ali Baudoin. This sculpture was first installed at EvCC in 1978 in the old Trojan Student Union building. The creator of this piece, Ali Baudoin, shared in his artist’s statement that “the visual concept for the sculpture originated from a type of crinoid - a flowerlike sea animal known as a feather star. Of particular interest in relation to the sculpture are their pointed feather-like arms that bend and twist with the ocean currents.” Tragically, the Trojan Student Union building was destroyed in 1987 by an arsonist fire. The Feather Star sculpture survived this and was eventually placed back in front of the current Student Union building named after Gary Parks, the fireman who lost his life to that fire in 1987. Jeanne Leader shares that this sculpture can now be thought of as a representation of a Phoenix rising from the ashes. She expands on this, “The Feather Star has become a symbol of renewal and rebirth for the college. It is the inspiration for the EvCC logo, which consists of three spires backed by a rising sun.”
