Automotive Tech Prep Career Day From: Steve Donley Subject: Automotive Tech Prep Event Date: October 14, 2004 10:03:41 AM PDT The Automotive Tech Prep Event held Tuesday was the best ever. We had about 106 students and 8 instructors and counselors in attendance for the fourhour event. The event was organized by Tech Prep Coordinator Barb Pinkowitz, who did an outstanding job, as she always does. The shop activities were developed by the automotive and marine instructors. We had a 100% participation by these instructors. A special thanks goes to our shop manager Robert Chavez who spent several days planning the visitation logistics. He worked diligently with Barb and Jane Jepson, and also with the faculty on their demonstrations, seeing to it that all areas of the shop and automotive compound were ready for the event, coordinating the set-up, and performing the other activities necessary to make this an outstanding event. Special thanks also goes to Jane Jepson, who worked many hours with Barb, Robert, and the faculty to ensure the success of this event. Andrew Passage from Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. also attended the event and with his assistance we redonated a Lexus ES300 to Savanna High School.The Automotive Tech Prep Event held Tuesday was the best ever.

Univision Show ‘Control’ to Feature Cypress Students The Univision network television show “Control” will feature Cypress College students in an upcoming episode (air date to be determined). Flight Attendent students attended training at Alteon (a Boeing Company) adjacent to the Long Beach Airport. Liz Perez, a former Cypress College student who is now a flight attendant for Asiana Airlines, will be featured as a narrator of the episode. Liz sharerd the skills she learned here with host Karla Martínez (below in pink). Students also learned how to extinguish fires (right) and Aviation instructor Chuck Gifford landed an MD-11 simulator at Los Angeles Internation Airport (below right). Up on the Roof... This week produced the perfect opportunity to take photographs from the roof of the new Library/Learning Resource Center. Yes, the two-story, 62,500-square-foot has progressed far enough in its construction that it has a roof durable enough to hold a photographer (and then some). Thanks to the folks at Forsythe Steel, who provided a ride to the top, here are some new images of the L/LRC. Click anywhere to view the slideshow.
