The Biscuit | Alumni | Prescott College

We're still looking for enthusiastic alumni volunteers for the 2004 Annual Fund Phonathon the first two weeks of March. Last year we had 10 alumni callers from all over the country that helped raise $16,000 for PC.

There are more and more opportunities for alumni to be involved this year - from Phonathon volunteer to an alumni recruiter in your local community (see "Three Simple Questions..."). We also have the Alumni River Trip on the San Juan coming up June 6, so mark your calendars!

Finally, I want to tell you about our online listing of recent articles about Prescott College that you might not have seen yet on our website. Karlyn Haas, PC Communications Director (not to mention Transitions editor) had been doing an incredible job getting PC people and events coverage. Check out the articles at www.prescott.edu/news.

First off, I got married on May 25, 2002 to a wonderful woman - Dana Dobbs. We met while we were both instructing Alpine Skiing and Snowboarding at Mt. Hood Meadows. I was impressed at what an incredible athlete she is and how well she could snowboard - plus, she is a beautiful woman!

Secondly, we wasted no time to start a family and on October 15, 2003 we had a son: Quinn Bennett Dobbs born at 3:22am was 21" long and 8lbs 10oz. He's growing every day and we are so proud of our little man. I hope everyone is doing well at PC and I hope the holidays treated everyone well.

Since graduation life has not taken me far from the Prescott College campus! I am currently a full time Instructor/Photo Lab Manager for the Photography Department in the Arts and Letter Program. I am in love with my job, the students, the Prescott College community, and of course, Prescott itself (particularly the weather!). Many new and exciting opportunities have been presented to me in the past few years, as life evolves. In the fall, I had the honor and privilege to work with Paul McKee and Dennis DeHart on the 2nd Biennial Arts Auction, an event that raised $25,000 for a dedicated campus gallery space! The evening was a huge success and has inspired me to continue my education. I will be beginning the MAP program this spring, in the area of Arts Administration and Non-Profit Organization, and am excited about the possibilities and projects that will come of this study. I would love to reconnect with my college buddies and past students, particularly those folks working in the arts or Non-Profit sector! Feel free to drop a note anytime! jchandler@prescott.edu

Hard for me to believe this time has gone by...I look back and love my friends, family, teachers and all around experiences there at Prescott! What a wonder! Mother of 2 (13 & 6, Zachary & Nykolas) beautiful boys! I hope one day they make it there! I have been a proprietor of Cantik Interiors for 6 years now- a furniture/unique gift item/home accessories retail store. We have a branch in Puerto Rico as well: www.toucantik.com. Eve of Christmas Eve we have taken over management of a 9 room guest house which is fanfabulous! In need of some serious TLC but we are very enthusiastic! please come for a visit to the BVI we would love to have you! www.heritagevillasbvi.com. Hoping you are all well and the years apart don't fade further...we are together in spirit for ever- fellow Prescotteers!!!

Prescott does have a gravitational pull. After being gone from Prescott for five years, I have returned to teach (as an adjunct) at Prescott College. My husband Charlie, our two year old daughter Ananda Jordan and I moved back this summer and are thrilled. I completed my Masters in Depth Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute just in time to give birth. We have a small private psychotherapy practice here in Prescott and I am also doing some therapy at the Orme School with Alex Spence. Would love to hear from old friends. Vicabel@aol.com
