CV Weekly Office Closes for Holiday

The CV Weekly office at 3800 La Crescenta Ave. #206, La Crescenta will be closed on Monday, July 5 for Independence Day.

Conservation Urged by FMWD

For the last two hydrological years, California have been experiencing dry weather with below average precipitation. The Northern Sierra snowpack is at 72% of normal condition and reservoirs throughout the state have been receiving lower than expected run-off. As a result of the current conditions, the California Dept. of Water Resources reduced the State Water Project allocation from 10% to 5%.

In order to reduce the impact of dry years and plan for the future, Foothill Municipal Water District (FMWD) is asking customers in the District’s service area to practice water use efficiency by following the guidelines set forth in FMWD’s Water Shortage Contingency Stage 1. These can be found at the FMWD website and also at www.cvweekly.com/NEWS.

Glendale Community College

Glendale Community College has become a partner in the Pulitzer Center Campus Consortium. Starting in the fall semester, the Pulitzer Center will work with the journalism and history departments at GCC to facilitate an educational program to support students reporting specifically on gender issues. GCC is the only community college in the State of California offering this opportunity to students, and is one of the only campuses nationwide that will be focusing on reporting on gender.  

The program will be coordinated by GCC history instructor Michelle Stonis and journalism instructor Dr. Reut Cohen Schorr.  

The Pulitzer Center will bring award-winning journalists to campus for public programs. The Pulitzer Center will offer a reporting fellowship to one outstanding student who can report on any topic involving gender from a location of their choice. As a Campus Consortium partner, GCC students will have the benefit of professional development opportunities and mentorship from seasoned journalists. 

The Campus Consortium is a network of partnerships between the Pulitzer Center and colleges and universities to engage with students and faculty on critical global issues.
