PJC STUDENT WINS
ARTS COUNCIL LOGO CONTEST
Pensacola Junior College graphic design student Andrea Frederique won The Arts Council of Northwest Florida’s logo contest and a $250 scholarship. The Arts Council announced the news at its recent grants recognition reception.
The winning logo is a sleek and clean, type-based design in red and black that the Arts Council is using in all of its new marketing materials.
Frederique’s instructor at PJC, Mark A. Hopkins said that he had started the contest as a way for the Arts Council to get a new logo. As a board member, he and the other members of the board decided that when a new logo was needed, the contest should be open to Hopkins’ students.
“It was open to UWF and PJC, and it’s really good that she [Frederique] won. It’s really a nice thing,” Hopkins said.
Frederique, who works in PJC’s marketing and information office, graduates Dec.16 with a graphic design technology associate in applied science degree, and she is returning for the spring term to seek a dual degree in multimedia technology.
CORSAIR STAFF MEMBER RECIEVES
CATHY BEASLEY SCHOLARSHIP
The Corsair’s multimedia director, Zeke Hazewinkel, received a $400 scholarship from the PJC Foundation for the Spring 2006 semester.
The Cathy Beasley scholarship was established in honor of Cathy Beasley, who was a reporter for the Pensacola News Journal prior to her premature death, Thom Botsford, head of the English department at PJC, said.
The scholarship amount varies between $300 to $400 and is awarded based on the amount of interest the scholarship account generates. It is given to students who are exemplary in the field of journalism.
Hazewinkel has worked for the Corsair for three semesters and is now the multimedia director.
“Zeke really exemplifies the new face of journalism because he’s in the multimedia program and that’s where journalism is going,” Christina Drain, adviser to the Corsair said.
Hazewinkel said that the scholarship will lighten his financial responsibility and allow him to concentrate on his classes.
AMI-LEE WILDER SCHOLARSHIP
AWARDED TO FOUR STUDENTS
Four PJC students were awarded $1000 scholarships for the Spring 2006 semester by the Ami-Lee Wilder Memorial Scholarship Endowment.
This semester’s recipients are Lindsey Catha, Krystin Goenner, Kathleen Porter and Yonit Shames.
Established in 1991, the scholarship was created in memory of Ami-Lee Wilder, who was a member of the Theta Chi Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa when she was killed in a car accident.
A $500 or $1000 scholarship is awarded each semester to a variable number of candidates, said Jeff Wooters, advisor of the Theta Chi Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa and one of the scholarship selection committee members.
Eligibility requirements include a minimum 3.5 grade point average, United States citizenship and current enrollment at PJC. Preference is given to members of Phi Theta Kappa.
“Students that otherwise wouldn’t be able to complete their educations do so because of their association with Phi Theta Kappa and the Ami-Lee Wilder Scholarship,” Wooters said.
Krystin Goenner, one of the scholarship recipients, said that it fully covered her tuition for this semester and that she credited Phi Theta Kappa with giving her the opportunity to receive the scholarship.
