Welcome! We are delighted to welcome you to our 2017 Girl Scout Gold Award and Scholarship Ceremony Presentation. At the Girl Scouts, we strive to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. The remarkable young women we celebrate this evening are shining examples of these ideals. We are proud to bestow on them the Gold Award. Earning the Gold Award is no easy feat – only 6% of eligible Girl Scouts achieve this prestigious honor. We are thrilled that 47 girls here in New York City demonstrated real leadership as they devoted at least 80 hours to enact lasting change in their communities by devising and implementing a Take Action service project. The number of awardees and the impressive reach of their projects reflect our girls’ initiative and community spirit. We are confident that they are on their way to becoming leaders of tomorrow – the kind of leaders we need in our diverse society. This year’s Gold Awardees have collectively devoted over 3,700 hours of service. They are a credit to our organization and to the great city of New York. On behalf of the girls, volunteers, board, and staff of the Girl Scouts of Greater New York, we congratulate all of our extraordinary Gold Awardees and Scholarship recipients. Yours in Girl Scouting, Michelle R. Clayman Barbara Murphy-Warrington Board President Chief Executive Officer About Tonight’s Awards Girl Scout Gold Award The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest and most prestigious award a young woman can earn in Girl Scouting. A young woman who has earned the Girl Scout Gold Award can look forward to greater access to college scholarships, paid internships, and community awards. More than 5,500 Girl Scouts design, implement, and complete Gold Award projects every year. Each girl is required to design and complete an 80+ hour Take Action project that will have a great impact on her community. Dr. Harry Britenstool Scholarships The Britenstool Scholarship is endowed in honor of Dr. Harry Britenstool for the Girl Scouts of Greater New York. It is designed for those young women with high scholastic ability, strong dedication to serving their communities, and career goals oriented toward the fields of medicine, science, or civic affairs. The scholarship is an award for the first year of college and is renewable for three years, provided that all renewal eligibility requirements are met. The award may be applied to the college of the recipient’s choice. The number of awards and the amounts vary each year, since the available funds are based on the annual income from the Dr. Harry Britenstool Trust. Carmen Dubroc Bright Future Scholarship The Carmen Dubroc Bright Future Scholarship is presented in honor of Carmen Dubroc, President and Chair Emerita of the Girl Scouts of Greater New York’s Board of Directors. It is designed for a young woman interested in pursuing a career in the arts, education, civil service, STEM, or the non-profit sector. The Girl Scout awarded with this scholarship has demonstrated a commitment to community service, participation in extracurricular activities, leadership ability, and the values of Girl Scouting and the Girl Scout Promise and Law. Future Woman of Distinction Award Each year the Future Woman of Distinction Award is given to one Ambassador Girl Scout in New York City who has earned her Gold Award, and who represents the ideals inherent in Girl Scouting through her participation in and commitment to community service, high academic achievement, leadership skills, and ability to communicate the values of Girl Scouting, and who provides an exemplary example of Girl Scouting for all Girl Scouts and the Council’s constituents. This Award, together with a scholarship to continue her education, was presented to Janice Wang at our annual Women of Distinction Breakfast in October 2016. In addition to receiving this Award at the Breakfast, Janice shared her Girl Scout experience with our 500+ person audience. She also has attended Girl Scout events as a representative of all NYC Girl Scouts throughout the 2016-2017 year.

As such, she has served as ex-officio chair of all of the Council’s Board committees. Ms. Dubroc holds a B.A. in Languages from Benedictine College and completed her Post-Graduate Degree at the Sorbonne University in Paris. She resides in New York City with her husband, Lewis Haber.

    Press Contact: Lauren Sklar Phone: 646-336-3745; Email: [email protected] WORST COOKS IN AMERICA: CELEBRITY EDITION Contestant Bios MINDY COHN Mindy Cohn made her acting debut as the witty, precious Eastland Academy student Natalie Green in the hit comedy series The Facts of Life. She was discovered while attending Westlake School for Girls in Bel Air, California, when actress Charlotte Rae and producer Norman Lear came to the school to authenticate scripts for their new show. Ms. Rae was so taken with the vivacious eighth grader she convinced producers to create a role for her. Mindy remained on the show for all nine seasons, also traveling to Paris and Australia with her co-stars to produce two successful television movies based on the series. Concurrently, with her role in Facts, Mindy played “Rose Jenko” in Fox’s 21 Jump Street. Other notable television appearances included Diff’rent Strokes, Double Trouble, Charles in Charge, Dream On and Suddenly Susan. In 1983, Mindy appeared in her first professional stage performance in Table Settings, written and directed by James Lapine and filmed for HBO Television. The illustrious cast included Eileen Heckart, Stockard Channing, Robert Klein, Peter Riegart, and Dinah Manoff. She went on to make her feature film debut in The Boy Who Could Fly, which co-starred Colleen Dewhurst, Fred Gwynne and Fred Savage. Mindy took a hiatus from her career to attend university, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Cultural Anthropology and a Masters in Education. During this time, she studied improvisation and scene work with Gary Austin and Larry Moss.

The set design for the 88th annual production, For the Record, called for a massive 11-foot-diameter rotating globe suspended above the stage and wrapped in the masthead of the show’s fictional newspaper, the Chicago Offering. Northwestern’s set, scenery, and paint shops are located in the Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts, but Waa-Mu is performed in Cahn Auditorium. How to pull off such a planetary transplant? By deflating Earth. The globe began as a plain white (albeit custom-built) inflatable balloon, but after its initial multisection muslin wrap was created (to determine shrinkage), it was deflated, rigged, reinflated, motorized, map-designed, taped for a paint mask, primed, painted, and unpeeled to reveal computer-generated, to-scale continents.

  • You've Seen the Movie, Now Play The
    “YOU’VE SEEN THE MOVIE, NOW PLAY THE VIDEO GAME”: RECODING THE CINEMATIC IN DIGITAL MEDIA AND VIRTUAL CULTURE Stefan Hall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2011 Committee: Ronald Shields, Advisor Margaret M. Yacobucci Graduate Faculty Representative Donald Callen Lisa Alexander © 2011 Stefan Hall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ronald Shields, Advisor Although seen as an emergent area of study, the history of video games shows that the medium has had a longevity that speaks to its status as a major cultural force, not only within American society but also globally. Much of video game production has been influenced by cinema, and perhaps nowhere is this seen more directly than in the topic of games based on movies. Functioning as franchise expansion, spaces for play, and story development, film-to-game translations have been a significant component of video game titles since the early days of the medium. As the technological possibilities of hardware development continued in both the film and video game industries, issues of media convergence and divergence between film and video games have grown in importance. This dissertation looks at the ways that this connection was established and has changed by looking at the relationship between film and video games in terms of economics, aesthetics, and narrative. Beginning in the 1970s, or roughly at the time of the second generation of home gaming consoles, and continuing to the release of the most recent consoles in 2005, it traces major areas of intersection between films and video games by identifying key titles and companies to consider both how and why the prevalence of video games has happened and continues to grow in power.
