SCOTT NORTHERN WAKE CAMPUS, BUILDING K 6600 LOUISBURG RD, RALEIGH, NC C OMMUNITY COLLEGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dr. Scott Ralls President Congratulations! It is an honor and a privilege to be part of Wake Tech’s Fall 2019 Commencement Exercises – your graduation. This special day is one that I know you will look back on proudly for years to come. The milestone we celebrate today is a very important one, and I commend you on your achievement. As your president, I am well aware of the hard work and perseverance that have made it possible. I see that firsthand, every day, and it never fails to inspire me. Today, a new journey begins. You can go forward confidently, knowing you are well prepared for all that the future holds. On behalf of the Wake Tech family, congratulations! We wish you great success and fulfillment. Dr. Scott Ralls THE WAKE TECH MACE A mace, once a type of club used in combat, has become a ceremonial staff and a symbol of order and command used by governmental, religious, and higher educational institutions throughout the world. When used in college and university ceremonies, the mace represents the authority and independence of the institution and its faculty. The Wake Tech mace, created by Lawrence Wiedel, was officially presented in 2013 to commemorate the college’s 50th anniversary, by the Beta Alpha Zeta Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society. The mace is made from a variety of hardwoods to symbolize Wake Tech’s cultural diversity. The handle is made of burl walnut; the top, made of African zebrawood, bears the Wake Tech seal on one side and the Eagle mascot on the other. Supporting the seal is a brass ring engraved with Wake Tech’s core values: accountability, respect, responsibility, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.

JOSE V. FABRE, JR. Hey everyone! My name is Jose Fabre Jr. I am honored to serve as the SGA President for 2019-2020. I was born in the Bronx, NY, and raised in “Quisqueya la Bella”, Dominican Republic. I moved to Perth Amboy, NJ, at the age of 9. After I graduated from high school in 2015, I moved to Raleigh, N.C. I’m currently working towards two degrees: an Associate in Engineering and, an Associate in Science. Wake Tech has been a blessing to me because there are so many resources available, like Success Coaches, Individualized Learning Center, SPEAK Center, STEM Center, and more. I decided to become involved in the Student Government Association because I want to reach Wake Tech students by making our campus activities both fun and informative, achieving spectacular learning outcomes. Life is challenging, but I know I can do all things through him who strengthens me. STUDENT SPEAKER 8:30 A.M. KAITLYN WALKER Kaitlyn Walker is graduating with an Associate in Applied Science degree in Baking and Pastry Arts. While working full time on the pastry team at Vidrio, a Mediterranean restaurant in downtown Raleigh, Kaitlyn maintained a 3.95 GPA and spearheaded a mentorship program with incoming baking students. She has won gold and bronze medals from the American Culinary Federation and thoroughly loves to push her own limits as a baker. Upon graduating, Kaitlyn hopes to start her own business and begin to follow whatever grand adventures await her in the baking world. She would like so say a special thank you to her family, “I got the degree for real this time!” STUDENT SPEAKER 11:00 A.M. JESSICA MCGEE Jessica McGee is currently applying to multiple colleges to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work beginning in the fall of 2020, with plans to continue her studies to pursue a Master’s degree. Jessica developed a love for psychology and helping other people during her teenage years, and she believes gaining a degree in Social Work will allow her to fulfill her dreams. After attending Brassfield Elementary and Westminster Elementary school, she began homeschooling in the third grade and continued throughout high school. She entered Wake Tech Community College as a Career and College Promise student. Jessica is very happy to complete her Associates in Arts degree at an institution that offers such a quality education and fulfilling experiences. PROGRAM | 8:30 A.M.

    NO SAFE HARBOUR ™ SEASON TWO ® ® PRESS™ KIT 01 CONTENTS 03 SYNOPSIS 04 CAST & CHARACTERS 23 PRODUCTION BIOGRAPHIES 28 INTERVIEW: DAVE ERICKSON EXECUTIVE PRODUCER & SHOWRUNNER 31 PRODUCTION CREDITS ® ™ SYNOPSIS Last season, Fear the Walking Dead explored a blended family who watched a burning, dead city as they traversed a devastated Los Angeles. In season two, the group aboard the ‘Abigail’ is unaware of the true breadth and depth of the apocalypse that surrounds them; they assume there is still a chance that some city, state, or nation might be unaffected - some place that the Infection has not reached. But as Operation Cobalt goes into full effect, the military bombs the Southland to cleanse it of the Infected, driving the Dead toward the sea. As Madison, Travis, Daniel, and their grieving families head for ports unknown, they will discover that the water may be no safer than land. ® ™ 03 CAST & CHARACTERS ® ™ 04 MADISON CLARK In many ways, the Madison of season two is the same woman we met in the pilot - a leader, a moral compass - but in a whole new devastated, apocalyptic world. As the season plays out, Madison will be faced with a world that often has no room for empathy or compassion. Forced to navigate a deceptive and manipulative chart of personalities, Madison’s success in this new world is predicated on understanding that, at the end of the world, lending a helping hand can often endanger those you love. She may maintain her maternal ferocity, but the apocalypse will force her to make decisions and sacrifices that could break even the strongest people.

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

    SEASON THREE PRESS KIT CONTENTS SYNOPSIS 3 CAST & CHARACTERS 4 PRODUCTION BIOGRAPHIES 31 2 S Y N O PS I S As “Fear the Walking Dead” returns for season three, our families will be brought together in the vibrant and violent ecotone of the US-Mexico border. International lines done away with following the world’s end, our characters must attempt to rebuild not only society, but family as well. Madison has reconnected with Travis but Alicia has been fractured by her murder of Andres. Mere miles from his mother, Nick’s first action as a leader saw Luciana ambushed by an American militia group – the couple escaped death but Nick no longer feels immortal. Recovering both emotionally and physically, Strand has his sights set on harnessing the new world’s currency, and Ofelia’s captivity will test her ability to survive and see if she can muster the savagery of her father. 3 CAST + CHARACTERS 4 4 MADISON CLARK (Kim Dickens) “The devil you know…” In season three, Madison moves beyond mercy. She promises herself never to repeat the mistakes of the past. If that means she must embrace brutality, so be it. As Madison evolves over the course of this season, we will see her turn even darker. Her ends are pure, but her means are morally compromised. She will sacrifice compassion – and she will risk those she holds most dear. In pursuit of Nick, Madison leads Travis and Alicia through the aftermath of the battle that ended season two – a fight that could have taken Nick and Luciana’s lives.
