Implementing new ideas, encouraging talent, and reaching for the future.
All of those activities are at the core of what’s currently happening for Pasadena City College’s English Division.
Their Lotus Club, which is a campus club of writers, readers and people who love poetry, has just published the first edition of their new magazine, Blue Nile Lotus. The department is planning a brand-new English Honors program, scheduled to begin next fall. And on Thursday morning, May 30th, the English Division and Lotus Club are co-hosting a special event: a presentation by author Sandy Florian, at 11:30 in Creveling Lounge!
Dr. Robert Oventile is an assistant professor of English at PCC, as well as the adviser to the Lotus Club, and he has been instrumental in implementing the new Honors English program. Yuliana Valdes is a former PCC English major, currently starting work on her Master’s Degree at CSULA, as well as the Lotus Club ambassador to PCC’s new Honors English program.
Dr. Oventile and Yuliana talked about these exciting upcoming opportunities at Pasadena City College, and what they mean for anyone who loves reading, writing, and new ideas.
PCC’s Lotus Club meets every Thursday at noon in C253, and they’re looking for submissions for their upcoming second edition of Blue Nile Lotus.
