However, considering how fast Marymount is moving and growing, I know that one day I will proudly be able to say that I was at the beginning of something special.” John recognizes that being the first class is not always easy, mentioning that there were uncertain times as the program took shape, but “the end result was a well-rounded experience.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Vandever believes that the faculty at Marymount is directly credited with the success the programs have received, and help the students to reach whatever potential they desire. One of the most influential members of the Marymount community during John’s experience was Professor Rex Draman. “His open ended style of lecture, although sometimes frustrating, prepared me for what lies after graduation.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Currently, John works as a loan officer at Prospect Mortgage, receiving the position one month after graduation and finished first in his training class amongst co-workers from many of the top Southern California universities. “The open ended nature and complexity of the capstone project”, Vandever says, “taught me how to survive in the complicated world of loans.” Because of the abundance learned in his short two years at Marymount and the capstone process, John shares lots of advice with the students at Marymount. “</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">To the seniors or future seniors contemplating their Capstone projects: bite off more than you can chew, pick something outside your comfort zone, and try to make your project relate to your preferred job field. Even if you fall short of your high goals, you will have a heck of a story to tell the person interviewing you. You would be surprised how quickly they pass over the school you attended and GPA. Your experiences and ability to communicate the way you solve problems will leave you ahead of the competition.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I know with this quick pace that Marymount will continue to move in the positive direction that the faculty and staff have been pushing towards.”</span></span></div>

Alexa recently moved companies, joining film development at Radical Studios as a story editor. Although she finds her current career to be a “complete change of pace and an absolute dream”, Ardeljan-Braden still aspires to be a film producer. </span></span></span></div>

She mentioned many faculty members who influenced her throughout her time at Marymount and wants to tell students that “the years you spend at Marymount will be much more formative than you might imagine.” </span></span></span><span style="color: #3f52b8; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"></span></div>

Holmes believes that Marymount gives students, like herself, “another chance to perform well and do all of the things that they are capable of doing."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Her favorite memory from Marymount was Dr. Zanca’s philosophy class, where she was presented a copy of <i>On Truth</i>, by Harry G. Frankfort, in recognition of an excellent job. Caroline says, “Professor Zanca probably didn’t know this at the time, but that was the first recognition of academic achievement I had received since grade school.” And from that moment, she saw her life change.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

After graduating from Marymount with an associate’s degree with a concentration in psychology, Holmes enrolled in USC, earning her Bachelor of Science in Psychology, summa cum laude. Participating in the Department of Psychology’s Honors Program, she worked with the Center for Research on Crime and wrote a thesis on youth gang prevention. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Since joining law school, she has had many opportunities, becoming the social chair of the Student Bar Association UCLA Chapter, and working as articles editor for the Dukeminier Awards Journal of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

The Rev. Professor Samuel K. Adjepong of Accra, Ghana, visited Marymount California University where he signed an agreement with MCU President Dr. Michael Brophy for the two campuses to offer a student and faculty exchange program. Students from Marymount’s campuses will have an opportunity to learn about such diverse topics as African Studies, Global Information Systems, Business and Psychology as well as participate in research related to land and resource management. In return, Methodist University College of Ghana students will have the opportunity to attend classes at Marymount.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Dr. Adjepong addressed campus leaders with a lecture “Tertiary Education System in Ghana.” President Brophy visited Ghana in 2012 to learn about this rapidly growing university. Marymount first learned of the incredible work led by Dr. Adjepong through Craig and Loren DeRoy of the Medeem Institute at Marymount. It is expected that the first MCU students to study in Ghana will be in 2013-14. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On April 24, Marymount seniors presented their capstone research projects at the Waterfront Campus to an audience of fellow students, faculty, staff and community members. The capstone project is a yearlong effort that seniors undertake to demonstrate their comprehension of a specific area of interest and to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to the real world. A wide range of topics were presented in the areas of Arts & Media, Business, Liberal Arts, and Psychology. Marymount's very first Psychology capstone was presented on the topic of "Parental Incarceration: The Effects On Children's Academic and Problem Solving Abilities". Other featured capstones included "Autism: Prevalence, Diagnosis, and Treatment Methods Today", "Anorexia: A Cross-cultural Perspective", "Gay Marriage: A Civil Rights Issue", and "MCU Bio-Diesel Program Analysis". </span><br />

The time has come to purchase the last of Marymount College apparel, as the Marymount Bookstore makes room for the new Marymount California University apparel! They will not be ordering any more Marymount College merchandise, therefore it will be sold until it is gone. Come to the Bookstore and grab Marymount College clothing and gift items! </span><br />

Marymount is excited to move forward under the name Marymount California University, MCU for short. The new name represents the ongoing transitions the college has experienced over the past few years, beginning with the undergraduate programs and the new graduate programs. The Marymount community hopes that the change will allow the college to "embrace its multiple communities along the Pacific Rim", which now includes the new Lake County, Northern California, location. The Marymount community is very excited to preserve the foundations from which it was founded, while embracing the progressive transitions experienced as well its future. <br />

Marymount would like to proudly annouce exciting news! Marymount is changing its name from Marymount College, Palos Verdes, California to Marymount California University (MCU). This new name reflects the recent transformation of our 45-year-old institution of higher education to a future multisite institution with undergraduate and graduate programs. “The consideration of a name change came as a natural part of a college-wide inquiry in 2012 that included reviews of academic programs, mission, governance and marketing,” shared MCU President Michael Brophy.</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
The play tells the story of Catherine, the daughter of Robert, a recently deceased mathematical genius in his fifties and professor at the University of Chicago, following her struggle with mathematical genius and mental illness. Catherine had cared for her father through a lengthy mental illness. Upon Robert's death, his ex-graduate student Hal discovers a paradigm-shifting proof about prime numbers in Robert's office. The title refers both to that proof and to the play's central question: Can Catherine prove the proof's authorship? The play explores Catherine's fear of following in her father's footsteps, both mathematically and mentally and her desperate attempts to stay in control.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This lecture covers a study of history, literature and art that shows the great spiritual connection human beings have with nature and the wider world. Religious traditions emphasize human</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> interconnectedness and point out the moral obligation to care for nature. What can religious and philosophical thought, particularly the Catholic understanding of “Virtue,” contribute to action around issues of environmental ethics and sustainability? Many of the “individual” virtues have significant environmental or social benefit; and many “environmental” virtues have individual benefits. Is there a relationship between “saving the earth” and “saving souls”? Come join us on Monday, at the Chapel at 5 to hear more! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
