Bunker Hill Community College Learn and Earn Program Receives Deval Patrick Award

BOSTON, March 29, 2017— Bunker Hill Community College received the Deval Patrick Prize for Community Colleges in recognition of its Learn and Earn experiential education and internship program.  The annual award from The Boston Foundation acknowledges progress and excellence made by community colleges in establishing employer partnerships and career pathways. Former Governor Deval Patrick presented the award in the amount of $50,000 to President Pam Eddinger on March 22, 2017.

The Deval Patrick Prize builds on a reform movement that recognizes the critical role that community colleges play in developing the workforce needed by regional employers. President Eddinger thanked the Governor for framing this new paradigm, seeing the alliance between businesses and community colleges. 

Paul Grogan, President and CEO of the Boston Foundation, kicked off the event with a convening of community colleges and keynote address given by Dr. Karen A. Stout, President of Achieving the Dream.

Representing the success of BHCC’s Learn & Earn program, Eddinger invited alumni Nelson Franjul and current student Surya Madhala to speak to the growth opportunities that the program presents, and share how they’ve benefited from the program both personally and professionally. 

In his remarks, Governor Patrick said “Matching employer needs with specific training and education for our residents is at the very center of dissolving the skills gap. In fact, it’s critical to how we think about growing the economy out so it reaches the marginalized, not just the well-connected. Community colleges have been at the very center of that undertaking, and we continue to ask them to step up to meet the challenges facing our Commonwealth and communities. We must also support and celebrate them, and that is what this award is truly about.”

“You heard I’m a community college graduate,” said Bill Swanson, Former CEO of Raytheon and current President of the Massachusetts Competitive Partnership. “Community college gave me the spark that lit the fire and the passion to do everything I could do and make a difference.”

Learn and Earn was launched in 2012 as collaboration with the Massachusetts Competitive Partnership (MACP) starting with 20 students and five employer partners. Now in its fifth year, the program has grown to 18 partners and has placed 500 students in internships at top corporations in and around Boston and across all major industry sectors.

Through the program, BHCC students have the opportunity to interview for paid internships at 18 leading Boston companies. Learn and Earn Partners include Bank of America, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Dovetail Health, Eaton Vance Investment Managers, EMC, Fidelity Investments, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Plymouth Rock Assurance, Putnam Investments, Raytheon, Staples, State Street, Suffolk Construction, The Boston Foundation, Tufts Technology Services, UBS and Vertex Pharmaceuticals.

MAYOR WALSH, AAUW TO HOST 14 FREE SALARY NEGOTIATION WORKSHOPS TO MARK EQUAL PAY AWARENESS WEEK

BOSTON - Monday, April 3, 2017 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh, the Mayor's Office of Women's Advancement and the American Association of University Women (AAUW) today announced the launch of Boston's second "Equal Pay Awareness Week," featuring 14 free salary negotiation workshops for women who live or work in Boston. The goal of Equal Pay Awareness Week is to acknowledge the gender wage gap and its consequences, while providing the training and tools to help Boston women advocate for themselves within the workforce. Tuesday, April 4 is "Equal Pay Day," a symbolic date when women's pay "catches up" and equals men's pay from the previous year. Women working full-time are typically paid just 80 percent on average of what white, non-Hispanic men make. That gap is larger for black and Hispanic women. "Boston thrives when women and men have an equal playing field," said Mayor Walsh. "These salary negotiations are one step we can take to provide women with the information and tools to advocate for themselves and work towards closing the wage gap. The workshops, combined with the work we are doing with employers to report wage data anonymously, will continue to make Boston the best city for working women. With the help of AAUW Work Smart and my Office of Women's Advancement, we will continue to fight for equal pay for all." "Salary negotiation workshops are part of AAUW's multifaceted approach to closing the gender pay gap," said Jesse B. Rauch, the senior program manager for AAUW's salary negotiation workshop programs, AAUW Start Smart and AAUW Work Smart. "Women who negotiate increase their potential to earn higher salaries and better benefits packages - and these advantages add up over time." AAUW Work Smart salary negotiation workshops were launched in September of 2015 as a five-year partnership with the City of Boston. Since that time, the program has trained over 3,000 working women in the City, with the goal of training 8,500 Boston women by December 2017, and 85,000 women by 2020. Registration for AAUW Work Smart in Boston free salary negotiation workshops is available online. The following workshops will be open to press: Monday, April 3 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Host: She Geeks Out Anchor (Behind the Render 121 Cafe on the First Floor) 50 Milk St. Tuesday, April 4 6:30 p.m..- 8:30 p.m. Host: The Latina Circle The Coop @ Hatch Fenway Landmark Center 401 Park Drive *Take 8th Floor East Elevators Thursday, April 6 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Host: Ellevate Network Boston Ernst Young, 200 Clarendon St. To cover the workshop, media is required to RSVP to the Mayor's Press Office: press.office@boston.gov, or 617-635-4461. Additional information will be provided to outlets that RSVP.

洛杉矶世界民族电影节 中国电影军团获多项大奖

http://www.aacyf.org/?p=7196

洛杉矶世界民族电影节 中国电影军团获多项大奖

2017年洛杉矶世界民族电影节（Universe Multicultural Film Festival) 3月31～4月2日在洛杉矶南海湾Palos Verdes 半岛上举行。向当地观众和来自好来坞的知名电影人放映了近100部来自世界各地的优秀作品，其中来自中国的电影界人士一行30多人为本次电影节带来16部作品，在4月2日举办的颁奖典礼上，来自中国的电影军团荣获多项大奖。

来自中国的著名编剧王梅和导演杨峰获得最佳外语剧本奖，著名导演原雅轩导演的电影《大荷花小荷花》获得本届电影节最佳儿童故事片奖，好莱坞资深华裔电影人Aki Aleung获终身成就奖。来自湖北武汉的青年制片人王鹏飞的《小马语者》获最佳儿童短片奖，留学生何家亮和团队一起制作的《 Lottery》获最佳音乐电影奖。

中央戏剧学院戏剧文学系硕士研究生毕业的中国知名编剧王梅，是中国作家协会和中国剧作家协会的会员，曾出版多部长篇小说，包括《青春通行证》、《阳光女孩》、《玫瑰玫瑰我爱你》、《男生女生》、《中戏女生》、《相约梦季》等。编写的电影剧本《落霞》、《回暖》等曾在不同的国际电影节中得奖，她也是知名动画片《巧手鲁班》和《中国熊猫》的编剧。

谈及这次的奖作品《丘比特吉祥》，她表示这个电影主要就是讲述，中国爱神月老和丘比特在人们越来越冷漠，逐渐丧失爱的能力的社会环境下，用东、西方各自的方式，阻止了中国最古老的媒人大反派伐柯的阴谋，唤起了伐柯属下“爱情间谍”吉祥对爱情的渴望，帮助人们得到爱情，让世界充满爱。

电影将由山东籍知名青年导演杨峰执导出品。他是最幕影业执行董事，话剧《老爸的秘密》，《泰山螭鳞传说》担任编剧导演，曾获获“五个一工程奖”。执导的电影《回暖》，《稻草人》，《背摔》，《长大后》，《门外的小孩》等多次获奖，并曾为万达IMAX影院定制微电影《慢慢爱》执导。

知名导演原雅轩导演的电影《大荷花小荷花》，影片通过两个十来岁姐弟的眼睛看到了一场战争，由此体会到战争给家庭带来的深重灾难。并把对战争的控诉提升到一个全人类的高度。原雅轩导演在获奖致辞中再次表达了希望国际社会不应忘记当年日本侵略对中国家庭和民众造成的巨大伤害。

曾经和众多美国巨星合作过、在好莱坞从影近70年的华裔知名影星Aki Aleung在本次电影节获终身成就奖，他在上台致辞时，全场起立鼓掌欢呼致敬。他对于当天中国军团在电影节中获得多个奖项发出感慨，提及华裔电影人早年在好莱坞的艰辛往事，在追朔到当年修铁路的华工、排华法案时，他表示，华裔电影人仍需继续努力。他自己就正在推动拍摄一部反映修建太平洋铁路华工的电影纪录片。

据世界民族电影节华裔执行主席唐玲介绍，本届电影节既有传统专业栏目的电影合作项目洽谈会，剧作家研讨会，国际制片人讨论会等电影电视行业专题会议，也有“与中国合作讲解会”，及其标志性的剧本真人秀，让剧本上的文字通过真人演绎而让制片人，投资人有真切的对故事的感受，促进电影项目的产生。在本次电影中，共达成十个中美电影合作项目。

美国华人公共外交学院的任向东表示，中国电影界通过参与各类电影节以及合作项目等多渠道的合作方式，不仅在技术方面有所获益，更主要的是，正在逐渐让好莱坞全面加深对中国电影业的认识。而近年来中国电影军团在好莱坞的发展，成效非常显著。（AACYF洛杉矶讯）

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO RHODE ISLAND!

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO RHODE ISLAND!

The Rhode Island Film & TV Office is pleased to announce that local film director and New England Tech graduate, Tom DeNucci (“Almost Mercy”), and his company, Woodhaven Media, will be shooting the upcoming family film, “THE SANTA FILES” in the Ocean State this April.  The holiday themed movie stars multiple Golden Globe winner, Ed Asner (“Lou Grant”, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”, “Roots”), as the iconic and elusive character.

David Gere produces from a screenplay by Kevin Decristifano and Mr. DeNucci.  Brown University graduate Sam Eilertsen is the cinematographer.

The joyful story revolves around a young boy, played by actor, Jack Brunalt, and his band of friends who, despite ridicule from their peers, vow to prove that Santa is real and subsequently, bring the holiday spirit back to their cynical town.  

Patrick Muldoon (“Starship Troopers”, “Melrose Place”) and Brooke Langton (“Swingers”, “The Replacements”) co-star along with pro-wrestling greats Tommy Dreamer, Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis.  Lindsey Blanchard, Max Harris and Jalon Christian play the kids determined to find St. Nick.

“Rhode Island’s vibrant filmmaking community is an important contributor to our state’s economy, and New England Tech graduate Tom DeNucci is another example of the top moviemaking talent our state produces,” Governor Gina M. Raimondo said.  ”I congratulate Tom and his entire team behind The Santa Files and thank them for choosing Rhode Island.”

Steven Feinberg, Executive Director of the Rhode Island Film & TV Office, stated, “This is exactly the result we’ve all been working towards for the past few years.  A new generation of Rhode Island filmmakers has sprouted as the result of the seeds we planted together as a state.  We love seeing our local moviemakers thrive and prosper. We congratulate Woodhaven director/producer Tom DeNucci for providing many jobs for our hard-working, local crew behind-the-scenes while also giving our gifted Rhode Island actors a chance to shine in front of the camera on this family film.”

House Speaker Nicholas A. Mattiello stated, “The House of Representatives has always been very supportive of the filmmaking industry because we truly recognize the benefits to our state’s economy.  Our tax credit program is extremely competitive with neighboring states, and we have great workers, scenic and historic settings, and some of the nation’s finest colleges and cultural attractions, which all contribute to our thriving film industry.”     

Senate President Dominick J. Ruggerio said, “Filmmakers have taken notice that our beautiful state is an exceptional place to live and work. Rhode Island is both diverse and compact, which lends itself wonderfully to the demands of the film industry. With a talented workforce in the industry, a thriving arts scene, and exceptional quality of life, Rhode Island is the perfect place to make movies.” 

Director Tom DeNucci stated, “I’ve always been fascinated by Christmas movies.  We watch them year after year and they never get old.  They’re deeply connected to our memories and that fun holiday feeling we get each December.  Making “The Santa Files” here in Rhode Island provides a great opportunity to share a story in a family genre I’ve always wanted to explore while continuing a special filmmaking tradition.”
