Welcome to Marymount College! Lake County Celebrates Education Partnership

Lake County News
WEDNESDAY, 31 OCTOBER 2012 02:12 ELIZABETH LARSON

LUCERNE, Calif. – History, fate and misfortune had kept the grand old Lucerne Hotel waiting for more than 80 years, but its glory finally returned Tuesday.

Dr. Michael Brophy, president of Marymount College, stood before more than 100 community members in the lobby of the building, and said, “Good evening, and welcome to Marymount College … and The Castle,” receiving an enthusiastic round of applause.

On Tuesday evening Marymount College and the county of Lake hosted a celebration of the signing of the 15-year lease for the building, unanimously approved by both the Board of Supervisors and the college’s board of trustees.

The lease’s signing formalizes the partnership between the college and county that has been more than a year in the making, following the county’s 2010 purchase of the building from a church group that owned it.

The words “unique,” “historic” and “transformational” would be used throughout the evening by a number of county and college officials, but as Board of Supervisors Chair Rob Brown pointed out, those sentiments can’t be overused when it comes to the importance of Marymount’s arrival.

The building may not have had much of a future had it not been for the college. “To be able to save this building and use it for this purpose is an amazing commitment by our county,” said Brown.

The evening also would highlight the vision of the two men who made the partnership possible – Brophy and retired County Administrative Officer Kelly Cox.

Both Cox and Brophy were hailed for seeing an opportunity to educate, inspire and help others...

Marymount Announces Proposed Master’s Degree Programs

Marymount College President Dr. Michael Brophy announced today the proposal of two new master’s degrees for the college: a Master of Science in Community Psychology and a Master of Science in Leadership and Community Development for a fall 2013 launch. These master’s degree programs are pending approval from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

“Marymount College is committed to providing educational degree programs that benefit our students and the community,” said Dr. Brophy. “A master’s degree is becoming increasingly important in today’s ultracompetitive job market. And since our goal has always been to offer courses that will give our students an edge in the workplace and beyond, the next logical step is for us to offer master’s degree programs.”

 Students who have completed their bachelor’s degree may enroll in the master’s program. However, an attractive option for undergraduate students is the ability to complete a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree within five years of study. The following five-year degree pathways will be offered:

A Bachelor of Arts (BA) Degree in Psychology with a Master of Science (MS) in Community Psychology; BA in Liberal Arts with an MS in Community Psychology; BA in Business with an MS in Community Psychology; BA in Business with an MS in Leadership and Community Development; BA in Liberal Arts with an MS in Leadership and Community Development; and a BA in Psychology with an MS in Leadership and Community Development.

The application deadline for fall 2013 enrollment is March 1, 2013.

The college currently offers bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts, Media Studies, Business and Psychology at its two campuses located in Rancho Palos Verdes and San Pedro.

Marymount College Gallery Features Award Winning Video Artist

There is No Why, a gallery show showcasing the video art of Xiaowen Zhu, is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday until September 25 at The Arcade Gallery, 479 West 6th Street, San Pedro.

An emerging artist, this is Zhu’s first solo exhibition. Zhu, the recipient of the Syracuse University Ginsburg Fellowship, presented to exceptional young artists, is featuring videos from five countries and three continents that she created during the past four years.

The content ranges from performance, highly manipulated abstraction, interpretive narrative, and experimental documentary. In these works Zhu communicates the complicated experience of being an international artist. She asks if the concept of home is possible outside of the geographical context, and wrestles with the notion of a disembodied identity. Zhu accomplishes this by invoking the destabilizing and reality-shifting laws of the internet: a space without time or physicality.

The Arcade Gallery, located in historic downtown San Pedro Arts and Entertainment District, the Port of Los Angeles, is a fixed exhibition venue of Marymount College. It offers students fully equipped facilities to exhibit their work in a variety of media. Dedicated to the connection between art and education, the gallery also presents work from celebrated and emerging artists, curated by either faculty or students of the Division of Arts &Media at Marymount College.
