Public Speaking Taken to the Next Level

INTD300-Lighting Design Light Show Exhibit

By: John Musolino

 

An assortment of student designed light fixtures was recently exhibited in the student commons, part of the Lighting Design course taken by Westwood interior design students.  The project sought to explore the emerging technology of LED light fixtures and the impact that this technology will have on the future functionality and artistry of lighting design.  Students started by creating a basic paper sculpture, and then figured out a way to combine multiples of this sculpture together. This sculpture then evolved into a paper prototype for a functioning fixture, and then a final product was built using materials consistent with the quality of light desired.

 

Camp Kilpatrick

Dalila Fragoso’s CRJS121-Correction class takes a trip to Camp Kilpatrick in Malibu to get a better understanding of a juvenile camp intake process. The students also had the opportunity to do some field observation by observing the minors behaviors while in the camp.

LBBF SHORTSTOP Reception

On February 6, 2014, the Westwood College - South Bay Education Department and Career Services joined Instructor Mark Rothenberg in honoring all the SHORTSTOP’s volunteers and supporters in Long Beach.

 

SHORTSTOP is a Juvenile Crime Diversion Program aimed towards reducing delinquency among at-risk youth. The program holds several sessions on Tuesday night at Long Beach Courthouse where volunteer attorneys, legal professionals, and parolees dramatically demonstrate the legal facts of life to the juvenile offenders as well as to their parents. The sessions include experiencing life incarcerated as well as sessions to better themselves. SHORTSTOP teaches its participants the consequences of criminal behaviors, the value of freedom, how to resolve conflict in a non-violent manner, and making positive decisions for a brighter future.

 

Mark Rothenberg is one of the founding father of the SHORTSTOP Program in Long Beach. He had also served as the President of the program and is currently a member of the Board of Director and a Volunteer Instructor for the SHORTSTOP Program.
