Photo: Alan Kimara Dixon
TDPS Alumnus Cherie Hill (?06) describes herself as a dancer/choreographer/performer/scholar/teacher/artist. The multifaceted description is fitting, a perfect way to encapsulate her varied, yet connected, interests. After earning a BA in Dance & Performance Studies from UC Berkeley and an MFA in Choreography and Performance at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Cherie is now back in Berkeley and juggling an abundance of projects that explore those many artistic sides and how they connect.
When asked about her current projects, Cherie first focuses on her work experimenting with contemporary dance, African aesthetics and improvisation. ?Creative dance tends to be very conceptual and deals with ideas of space, time and energy,? she explains. ?The project started several years ago because I wanted to explo ...

Senior José Nuño, a double major in Theater & Performance Studies and Dance & Performance Studies, proposed, created and facilitates the course.

On Saturday, February 28, a group of 33 students from Mechanical Engineering participated in a one day trip organized by the ASME Student Section at UBC. First stop, Mobile Tool Management Inc. in Mukilteo, Washington, students had the pleasure of meeting a recent MECH graduate, Eric Pospisil. Eric gave our group a fascinating tour of their facility and oriented us around the products his company designs and manufactures for the aerospace industry. After walking around in the engineering and manufacturing floors, a Q&A session was held with Eric and one of his colleagues. Students had the opportunity to hear about the opportunities, challenges, and employment in aerospace industry.
After a lunch break, the next destination was the Future of Flight Aviation Center. The students toured the exhibitions that ranged from jet engines, aircraft cockpits, materials, simulations, and more. If this was not enough to get a group of young engineers excited, next up was the Boeing Factory T ...
