"Fair Game," with Doug Liman on Hollywood & the CIA
Wednesday, March 2
6:00 to 9:00pm
The CIA figures prominently in several of director Doug Liman's movies, as well as his TV series Covert Affairs. Join us for a screening of Fair Game, a taut and gripping docudrama, based on events in the lives of CIA operative Valerie Plame and her husband Joe Wilson, a former career diplomat. When Wilson was sent to Niger by the CIA to verify White House claims that the African state of Niger had been selling yellowcake to Iraq, he concluded the intelligence was false. When he dared to challenge publicly the Bush administration's facts, his wife was outed as a spy and her identity leaked to a Washington Post columnist. The movie focuses on the couple's struggle to save their careers, reputations and marriage.
Doug Liman, director, Swingers, Go, The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Fair Game; and executive producer, The Bourne Ultimatum and FX television series, Covert Affairs
Moderator: Mark Mazzetti, Correspondent, The New York Times

Shadyac's newest film, I Am, documents his search for what is wrong with the world and how we can make it better. For answers, he visited many countries and met with a wide variety of philosophers and truth-seekers from the worlds of science, philosophy and faith.Join us for a fascinating movie and discussion!

As more and more consumers turn to digital books, a growing variety of platforms are emerging, and with them, a wave of opportunities emerge.

Douglas Rushkoff: "Program or Be Programmed"
Tuesday, March 29
6:30 to 8:00 pm
Media theorist, techno-visionary and author, Douglas Rushkoff, asks the question: Do we direct technology, or do we let ourselves be directed by itand those who have mastered it? "Choose the former," says Rushkoff, "and you gain access to the control panel of civilization. Choose the latter, and it could be the last real choice you will get to make." Rushkoff picks up where Marshall McLuhan left off, helping readers to recognize programming as the new literacy, and as a template through which we can see beyond long held social conventions and power structures. Hear from Rushkoff on his ten commands: guidelines to navigate the digital universe.

Feb. 18 - CUNY-Wide “Emerging Leaders” Conference
2011 CUNY-Wide “Emerging Leaders” Conference
Friday Feb. 18 @ CCNY
Please take advantage of this EXCITING CUNY-wide student leadership conference.
The 2011 theme is CIVILITY. You DO NOT have to be an officer of a club to attend this event; it is open to ALL STUDENTS in an effort to help develop their leadership skills.
Civility: The formal politeness that results from observing social conventions.
You’ve heard this term a lot lately. But, what does it really mean, and how can it improve your everyday dealings with fellow students, professors, administration, staff and your interactions in the community or your family? President Obama encourages politicians to be more civil as they hammer out resolutions to public policy issues. The lesson: we can all be more civil in our dealings with each other.
This CUNY-wide conference -- held on CCNY's campus Friday, Feb. 18 -- will give student leaders the tools they need. To learn more, reach out to Daniel Tome (info below), visit the Office of Student Life and Leadership Development (NAC 1/210) and watch this blog for details about online registration as it becomes available.

Healthy Monday Expands Ad/PR Network to Reach CCNY Students and Harlem Community
NEW YORK, NY, December 1, 2010 - Healthy Monday (www.healthymonday.org), a non-profit that raises awareness about the importance of one’s health, has enlisted support from advertising and public relations students at The City College of New York to promote their anti smoking and diabetes free campaign.
Triumph Innovation Consulting (TIC) consists of seven junior Ad/PR executives, including Jorge Leger, Linda Perez, Ronald Pogyo, Kristina Henry, Ana Stanisic, Shakeima Cooks, and Laetitia Loco. All have been working very hard to find the best way to get the Harlem Community to change its behavior. This includes beginning the week off with a fresh start by eating healthy, or not smoking. It also urges students and residents to “Choose Monday” as the best day to get a healthy start.
TIC will hold their first Healthy Monday event December 6, 2010, 12 noon – 2 pm, at the CCNY's North Academic Center (NAC) Rotunda; 160 Convent Avenue at 138th Street. Participants will receive information and practical advice on how to avoid the deterioration of one’s health.
The agency will have guest speakers such as Ms. Eugenia Graham, a coordinator manager from Harlem Hospital's Quit Smoking program who will talk about the cons of smoking and how to successfully quit this addiction. A selection of healthy foods will be served to show how eating healthy is not difficult. There will also be prizes for students, faculty and staff with the most knowledge about diabetes and smoking issues.
“Triumph Innovation Consulting has completed detailed research on the Harlem community," according to Jorge Leger, CEO of TIC. "CCNY students have discovered people face certain struggles when it comes to eating healthy," he notes.
To assist with these personal health struggles, more than 55 schools, colleges and universities have joined the "Healthy Monday" campaign. TIC has developed an integrated public relations and advertising campaign to address smoking and diabetes, which afflict Harlemites in large numbers.
About Triumph Innovation Consulting:
TIC was formed as a part of the Advertising/PR Workshop at CCNY. The course objective is to create an advertising and PR campaign for the client that builds awareness for the Healthy Monday message. Each skilled team member has a great passion for the advertising and PR fields, coupled with an enormous desire and motivation to win the competition as a “real world” capstone to their college experience.
About Healthy Monday:
Healthy Monday is a non-profit public health organization founded in 2005 in association with Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University and Syracuse University. Their goal is to help Americans leverage Monday to end chronic preventable disease in the U.S. by offering people and organizations a weekly prompt to start and sustain healthy behaviors, intentions, action and initiatives. The organization works with “for-profit" businesses and non-profit organizations, with universities, churches and government agencies.

Subject: Video contest for NYC college and university students - January Deadline
Hi MCA,
I'm reaching out from NYVS, the premier online film school, to share news of a video contest open only to college and university students in New York City. In the "NY vs. NY: Favorite Places in NYC" contest, students are asked to create a short video telling an entertaining story about their favorite place in NYC.
To help students learn more about shooting, editing and storytelling, we are giving all participants a free subscription to NYVS.com for the duration of the contest. This is a great opportunity for students to gain resume building skills and to show off their video making talents, with the chance to win a professional grade still/video camera and gift certificates to support their video and filmmaking careers.
I've attached a contest flyer with basic information, but feel free to reach out to me with any additional questions ( Visit www.nyvs.com/nyvsny to see official contest rules).
As this is an amazing opportunity for NYC based students, we appreciate any help you can give in spreading the word for this contest.
Thanks!
Emi
