Marymount at RECongress!

This past weekend, Fr. Mark, three Marymount students, and Alejandra Angel were in Anaheim for the Religious Education Congress, which is sponsored by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.  Our Marymount students played a crucial role in helping on Saturday and Sunday.  Sister Edith Prendergast even acknowledged Marymount College for their help during the weekend, as she delivered her closing speeches on Sunday.

Saturday, they helped to transform a meeting room into a sacred space for Stations of the Cross…

First Thursday in San Pedro

On February 7th, The First Thursday was held in San Pedro. First Thursday is a unique event in historic downtown San Pedro, when many of the restaurants, businesses, art galleries and studios stay open late. Marymount's Jazz ensemble had a wonderful performance on stage, as well as a few other student musicians. Everyone was impressed by the talent of these students and the people that came to visit had an awesome time.

There was also an art exhibit held at the Arcade Gallery, which was organized by students Andres Enriquez Ramirez and Ebony Perry. It showcased a collaboration of students expressing their own definitions of "True Love" on the wall. Many people were amazed at how stunning the piece turned out to be, and students were thrilled to have been able contribute to the creative piece.

In addition, two videos were on display at the Gallery by students, Xiaowen Zhu and Junekyu Park. One was a very unique three-channel video piece titled. "Distance Between" and the other one was an interesting video called "Beauty Evaporates".

 Everyone had a great time at the First Thursday event! Check out photos from the event: View Slideshow

Kick Off the Commons!

The number one request among Marymount students for several years has been to have a designated group study space. Between the constantly crowded library and Learning Center, students were left with minimal group designated areas. The idea of the Commons area was designed with every students' needs in mind as well as the idea of collaborative learning. Located in the former auditorium building, the Commons opened up to the students last week with a kick off reception.

The Commons is an extraordinary space, designed specifically for the new generation of technologically savvy students. High-speed wireless Internet, mobile tables and chairs, wireless printing as well as a bank of lockers with charging stations inside, this new space provides the ideal environment for students to collaborate and succeed.

Marymount students were overjoyed at the idea of this new space. Emily Rajcic, class of 2015, said "the new learning space will be an incredibly important addition to Marymount. My classmates and I will be able to study in a comfortable environment that allows us to easily focus on our studies, finally making it possible to study in groups without being told to be quiet or to find some random space on campus to study. We cannot wait until it is finished!"

The kick off reception for the new area was a huge success, and many came out to see the new space and cannot wait to use it for themselves. View the Reception Kick-Off slideshow: http://albums.phanfare.com/slideshow.aspx?i=1&db=1&pw=enj72uFu&a_id=5936111
