Chancellor’s award bestowed on students
Published May 04, 2012
The 2012 Chancellor’s Award Reception took place for the seven recipients.
The reception started with a welcome from the Special Assistant to the Chancellor Blake Fry. Fry said nominations for the award are accepted at the beginning of the spring semester each year from faculty, staff and students.
“This is no minor task as nominators are asked to submit a nomination form, nomination letter, two letters of support, and the resume of the nominee. This is a case where being nominated is truly an honor as the nominator must think very highly of the nominee to undergo that amount of work,” Fry said in an email.

‘The Raid’ features blood bath, martial arts
Published May 04, 2012
Action movies tend to have a comedic element, something to keep the violence from getting too heavy. The Indonesian import “The Raid: Redemption” is an exception. It’s dark and unapologetically violent, often feeling more like horror than an action movie.
