    Dance Department, Evergreen Valley College Last Review: N/A Current Year: 2016 Prepared By: Elizabeth Falvey Area Dean: Mark Gonzales

    Dance Department, Evergreen Valley College Last Review: N/A Current Year: 2016 Prepared by: Elizabeth Falvey Area Dean: Mark Gonzales SUMMARY OF DEPARTMENT and PROGRAM Provide a brief summary of your program. Assume the reader does not know anything about it. Your explanation should include a brief history and a discussion of any factors that have been important to the program’s development. Please explain the purpose of your program, what students you serve, what services you provide, and why these services are valuable. Dance has the power to communicate and evoke responses. It provides a means for self-expression and enables the participants and viewers to feel and experience the joy of moving. The Dance Department at Evergreen College is thriving. It may be one of the smaller departments on campus, with only 3 part-time faculty, but classes are filled, and often wait-listed to join. As you cross campus and enter the latest and greatest Visual Performing Arts building, you will hear music, laughter and joy humming throughout the building and studio. Students register for dance classes not only to grow and learn the artistry of dance, but also to foster wellness, creativity, expression and communication into movement. Since moving into the new Visual Performing Arts building in 2009, the number of classes offered has more than doubled. In 2012, we were excited to offer our first GE lecture class, Dance Appreciation (3 units, Area C, Arts Requirement). Since then, Dance Appreciation has been offered every semester, including intersession and summer. Our program now offers classes year-round, which gives us more exposure as a department.

    ORANGE COAST COLLEGE SIXTY-SECOND HONORS NIGHT WEDNESDAY, THE THIRD OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY SIX O’CLOCK IN THE EVENING THE SPIRIT OF OCC “There is no education like adversity” -Benjamin Disraeli There is little doubt that 2020 will find itself explored, examined and studied in future history books. At OCC, this year will surely be remembered for its adversity -- it is the year we suffered the tragic loss of a legendary baseball coach, and the year we were driven away from our beloved campus by an unprecedented global pandemic due to the spread of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus. However, it is also the year we saw our campus community come together and demonstrate the commitment to our students and community which define our College - this is the Spirit of OCC. Tonight, as we honor our best and brightest students for their hard work and dedication, we also celebrate the undefeatable spirit that makes our College so special. Although we can’t be together in person, nothing can stop us from honoring your achievements, your hard work, and your accomplishments. Here are a few examples of the Spirit of OCC: + In January, as news of the death of OCC’s baseball head coach John Altobelli reached players and fellow coaches, the devastation rippled across campus. “Coach Alto” was a giant at OCC during his 27 years of service, always going the extra mile to help his student athletes succeed. Faced with the tough decision about whether or not to move ahead with the first game of the season just two days after Altobelli’s death, OCC’s ball players displayed the courage and dedication of their leader and decided to play.
