New College Independent Alumni/ae Association

Colleen Gallagher, Class of 2001, is a remarkable jeweler now residing in Ireland. You can see some of her lovely work on her website Cloud Jewellery.

I’m working on a film project produced by the Center for World Indigenous Studies in Olympia, Washington. The film series — planned for public television — is on the UN, climate change, and Indigenous peoples. (We just sent a proposal to Sundance.)

We plan on a web page as soon as we have seed money; for now we are pursuing start-up grants, and later, major funders.

To launch the half million dollar project, we need to raise matching money for a $10,000 Humanities Washington project grant by the end of March. If you want to help us, just click on the donation button for the Prepared to Lead Fund and follow the simple instructions.

Blessings and many thanks. (I still live in Marin.)

Remember New College’s cool website? That was the creation of portal developer and web designer Mark Gould. (Mark also put together the Media Studies program.) Mark is still creating cool web designs, so if you need an eye-catcher for your work, take a look at Mark’s portfolio.

Eric Mar, past New College School of Law Dean,  was one of a handful of New College employees during the 1990s who took on the trustees for their corrupt practices that in 2008 brought the school down. Mar is now a new member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

Congratulations, Eric.
