  • Notes and Links on Coverage of the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest from ESC Insight
    ESC Insight - www.escinsight.com Notes and Links on coverage of the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest from ESC Insight Compiled by Ewan Spence, Thursday May 23rd, 2013. Introduction ESC Insight is an independent website that covers the world of the Eurovision, including this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Set up in 2010 to act as a new home for BAFTA nominated podcaster Ewan Spence and the two year old “Unofficial Eurovision Podcast”, it promised to deliver in-depth content, analysis, commentary, and knowledgeable articles around the Contest. The approach can be linked to a weekly periodical, contrasting it with daily news sites such as EscXtra. For the 2013 Contest, ESC Insight's core team of journalists remained intact from the 2012 season (Ewan Spence, Sharleen Wright, Samantha Ross, and Steven Newby), and our pool of contributing writers expanded (including John Egan, Monty Moncrieff, John Kennedy O'Connor, Dr Paul Jordan, Roy Delaney, and others). Following on from 2012, our 'long format' video show from Malmo focused on the meet- and-greet interviews from the first week of rehearsals, allowing us to interview every on- stage performer for Eurovision 2013. This was augmented by more traditional long-form interviews, and the return of Terry Vision, our puppet based former commentator forced out of retirement to cover the Contest. Operated by Ewan Spence, this customised Henson Muppet had his own popular series of light-hearted interviews each running between three and five minutes long. We had two additions to our regular coverage this year. The first was our mobile app. 'ESC Commentary' was a joint app with EscXtra, and developed by The Lab, an offshoot of O2 Telefonica is an innovation team that test new ideas & concepts fast, in an open environment.

  • 2016–17 Commencement Program
    COMMENCEMENT UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER FOLSOM STADIUM MAY 12, 2017 One Hundred Forty-First Year of the University CommCoverMay2017 update.indd 1 3/23/17 11:01 AM Norlin Charge to the Graduates The first commencement at the University of Colorado was held for six graduates on June 8, 1882, in the chapel of Old Main. It was not until 40 years later, on September 4, 1922, that the first summer commencement was held. Since the first commencement in 1882, the University of Colorado Boulder has awarded 350,000 degrees. The traditional Norlin Charge to the graduates was first read by President George Norlin to the June 1935 graduating class. You are now certified to the world at large as alumni of the university. She is your kindly mother and you her cherished sons and daughters. This exercise denotes not your severance from her, but your union with her. Commencement does not mean, as many wrongly think, the breaking of ties and the beginning of life apart. Rather it marks your initiation in the fullest sense into the fellowship of the university, as bearers of her torch, as centers of her influence, as promoters of her spirit. The university is not the campus, not the buildings on campus, not the faculties, not the students of any one time—not one of these or all of them. The university consists of all who come into and go forth from her halls, who are touched by her influence, and who carry on her spirit. Wherever you go, the university goes with you.

    pioneerA Magazine of Utica College | Fall 2014 SPECIAL ISSUE | 2013–2014 PRESIDENT’S REPORT NEVER STAND STILL The View from the President’s Office By Todd S. Hutton As you read about some of the exciting initiatives in UC’s future in this issue of the Pioneer, I want to take a moment to reflect on our past and on the power of history in the shaping of an institution. This past summer I was invited to take part in a very special commemoration. Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, with which we have a longstanding faculty exchange program established through the Joseph Furgal endowment, was celebrating what they termed their “jubilee” – their 650th anniversary as an institution of higher learning. They are, in fact, the second oldest university in central Europe and count Nicolaus Copernicus among their distinguished alumni. The history of Jagiellonian is paired closely with the saga of Poland itself, fol- lowing the dramatic arc of political turmoils over the centuries, from moments of ascendancy to tragedies beyond comprehension. The nadir was surely during World War II, when the Nazis came and marched the entire faculty off. Fully 185 of them never returned. Today Jagiellonian is a thriving institution at the center of Polish society, as “The story of Utica illustrated by its magnificent jubilee celebration attended by both the presidents College reflects the of Poland and the European Union, the Jagiellonian faculty, and representatives same spirit of pride of several hundred universities from across Europe and around the world. and perseverance There is much we can learn from a university with such deep roots and strong that has sustained traditions.
