Algonquin College. Exam week can be stressful on students. Inspired by the Christmas Food Court Flash Mob, Hallelujah Chorus, the Television Broadcasting students at Algonquin College wanted to showcase the new Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence by lightening the mood with the help of the Ottawa Regional Youth Choir and Darth Vader. Thank you to ORYC Manager, Valerie Jerabek and Director, Kevin Reeves for agreeing to participate in this crazy idea. Thank you to the choir itself, for sharing their beautiful voices and for not minding that we subbed in a Sith Lord as conductor 45 minutes before the performance. Thank you to all the students who helped out and in particular to Television student Shane Webster who ontop of helping organizing was running back and forth from the hospital expecting his first child. Congratulations Shane! Thank you to Chloe Atherton and Bridget Berry for sewing a 43 inch circumference Santa hat on a moments notice and thank you to Randy Dash, Alanna McDonell and Robyn Heaton from Algonquin.

Distinguished Alumnus Award — Neil majored in biology at the College and then graduated from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry and completed his residency in pediatric optometry and vision therapy at State University of New York. He has practiced optometry in Charleston for more than 38 years and has been a national leader in the field.

Neil was recently awarded the South Carolina Optometric Physicians Association’s highest honor, Optometrist of the Year. He is a past president of the South Carolina Optometric Association and the College of Optometrists in Vision Development. Neil also gives back to his community. He established the Head Start Vision Screening Program in Charleston in 1976. Since then, more than 1000 children are screened through the program each year. He is actively involved with the Jewish community having served as president of the Jewish Community Center and vice president of the Charleston Jewish Federation. The College of Charleston is also one of Neil’s priorities. He serves on the Foundation Board and never misses a College of Charleston basketball game. As you can see, Neil fits the description of Distinguished Alumnus perfectly.
