Free Photography Exhibit at Phoenix College Features
Ansel Adams, Edward Weston
As Phoenix College celebrates 90 years of serving the community, the college’s renowned photography collection is being commemorated with Celebrating Photography at Phoenix College: A Retrospective View. The free exhibit in Fannin Library includes works by Ansel Adams, Olivia Parker, Edward Weston, and Minor White.
The historical significance of the collection dates back at least five decades when the legendary Allen Dutton, Professor Emeritus and founder of the Phoenix College photography program, began acquiring pieces by notable photographers. Approximately half of the more than 200 pieces on exhibit were personally chosen by Dutton, for whom Phoenix College’s new Center for Photography was recently dedicated.

Phoenix College Theatre Presents "Tartuffe"
The Phoenix College Department of Theatre & Film proudly presents Tartuffe. In his famous comedy, Molière relates the story of an attempt by an irreclaimable hypocrite to destroy the domestic happiness of a citizen who, charmed by his seeming piety, has received him as a prominent guest. Beneath a pious facade, Tartuffe is a schemer intent on securing Orgon’s fortune and his daughter’s hand in marriage. Will Tartuffe be rewarded with riches or will the slippery hypocrite get the comeuppance he richly deserves?
The script is translated in charming rhyming couplets, and the play will be presented in 17th century French-style settings and costumes.

PC Dedicates Allen A. Dutton Center for Photography
Phoenix College had an excellent turnout on the evening of September 17, 2010 for two special events related to photography. The family, friends, colleagues, and former students of Allen A. Dutton, Professor Emeritus and founder of the Phoenix College Photography Program, gathered at the Fine Arts building to dedicate the new Allen A. Dutton Center for Photography and mark the establishment of the endowed Allen A. Dutton Photography Scholarship.
Immediately following the dedication ceremony, Mr. Dutton and the Phoenix College Golden Bears Retiree Group, in partnership with the PC Library and Art departments, presented Celebrating Photography at Phoenix College: Retrospective View at Fannin Library. The collection of photographs, exhibited as part of the college’s 90th anniversary celebration, is historically significant, dating back at least five decades when Mr. Dutton began acquiring pieces to build the collection by notable photographers like Ansel Adams, Olivia Parker, Edward Weston, and Minor White. Approximately half of the more than 200 pieces exhibited were personally chosen by Mr. Dutton. Guests had the opportunity to tour the display and attend a brief reception, with the first 25 guests receiving a commemorative PC 90th anniversary lapel pin.
The special exhibition will remain in Fannin Library until the end of the Fall 2010 semester, and is available for viewing free-of-charge during regular library hours.
Many thanks to Frank Luna, Barbara Stratton, Dale Doubleday, Jennifer Laffoon, and all those whose excellent contributions created a memorable evening for Mr. Dutton and our guests.

2010/11 Honors Forum Lecture Series “Democratization of Information: Power, Promise & Peril”
“Democratization of Information: Power, Promise & Peril”
Dr. Gary Small
i-Brain: Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind
Books will be available for purchase and/or signing in the lobby immediately following the lecture.
Wednesday, September 22, 2010 – 7:00 p.m.
Phoenix College, Bulpitt Auditorium
1202 West Thomas Road
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
Dr. Gary Small is a professor of psychiatry and Director of the UCLA Center on Aging at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. His research, supported by the National Institute of Health, has made headlines in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and USA Today. Scientific American magazine named him one of the world’s leading innovators in science and technology. Dr. Small lectures throughout the world and frequently appears on The Today Show, Good Morning America, PBS, and CNN. He has written five books, including The New York Times best seller, The Memory Bible.
iBrain explores how technology’s perpetual march forward has altered the way young minds develop, function, and interpret information. Dr. Small reveals the remarkable brain evolution caused by the constant presence of new technology, separating the digital natives—those born in the computer age—from the digital immigrants, who discovered computer technology as adults.
Today’s frenetic progress in technology, communications, and lifestyles is evolving the way young brains develop, function, and process information—creating new neural pathways and altering brain activity at a biochemical level. To compete and excel in this age of brain evolution, all of us must adapt, and iBrain elucidates the strategies and tools that we need to enhance our technological, social, and empathic abilities.
