Zeiss, Executive Director, 732-224-2887, tzeiss@brookdalecc.edu Awards & EventsThree Cups of Tea: Knowledge is Power The Alumni Association joined with PTK to launch this new college service project in 2006. Making a difference in the lives of Central Asian children through education is our vision as we strive to raise the funds necessary to build a school there in the name of Brookdale. This is strictly a humanitarian effort - people helping people. As of Spring 2008, we have completed our goal and have raised the $35,000 needed to build a school in Afganistan. The early success of this effort prompted Greg Mortenson, Executive Director of the Central Asia Institute (CAI) and author of Three Cups of Tea to authorize the building of the Brookdale School. For more information contact bspielzinger@brookdalecc.edu or visit http://www.3cupsoftea-brookdale.info This popular annual event held each year in May features works by current and former Brookdale students and friends, kicked off with an opening reception in the Gallery of Brookdale’s Center for Visual Arts. Works are accepted in painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, graphic design, sculpting, ceramics, fiber, jewelry, computer graphics and mixed media. Entries are limited to two pieces of work per artist. Work may be in one category or two; the entry fee is $10 for one piece and $15 for two pieces. First through third prizes are awarded in each category, plus three honorable mentions. For details contact alumni@brookdalecc.edu or call (732) 224-2705. Barringer Awards Dinner The Barringer Award was created in 1986 in honor of Dr. B.A. Barringer, then President of Brookdale Community College. His commitment to educational excellence and his vigorous and enthusiastic support for the Alumni Association’s reorganization led to his becoming the award’s first recipient. The award is presented annually to individual(s) who demonstrates unwavering commitment to educational excellence and Brookdale. The annual Barringer Awards Dinner is held in the spring.
