The College of Santa Fe is launching an Alumni Legacy Scholarship, a scholarship program for new students who are referred by a graduate of the college.

The Alumni Legacy Scholarship of $4,000 per year can be used by new students in the College of Santa Fe's art, creative writing, moving image arts, photography or performing arts programs. Nominations for the scholarship must be made by CSF alumni and must include a personal recommendation for each student.

"Our alumni experienced the value of a College of Santa Fe education firsthand," said Randi Bergey, director of Alumni Affairs for the College of Santa Fe. "The Alumni Legacy Scholarship gives alumni the opportunity to share their passion for the college by recommending a prospective student."

Bergey made the announcement during an Alumni Reception that was attended by more than 50 alumni. "The reception was a great opportunity for our alums to reconnect with one another and with the college. It was a wonderful group, with alumni from the 1950s right up through 2009."

The Alumni Legacy Scholarship is available for new students entering the College of Santa Fe as of September 2010. To be eligible for the scholarship, students must be referred by a College of Santa Fe graduate. Alumni who refer students for the Legacy Scholarship have to submit both a nomination application and a written recommendation for the student. Scholarship recipients must be enrolled full-time each term, and they have to maintain a minimum 2.75 GPA each quarter.

Brodnax New Orleans works on exhibit - News-Star

In February the Ouachita River Art Gallery features the black and white fine arts photography show, "The Mystique Of New Orleans," by local photographer (and "semi-retired" pharmacist) Emily B. Brodnax.

This artist has centered her show around treasures, usual and unusual, seen and rarely seen, found in New Orleans on two recent trips there.

Brodnax continues to do the increasingly lost art of gelatin silver prints in a "wet" darkroom on archival paper. She expresses a sincere love for the entire photo taking and printmaking process and says that photography is an art and not to be dismissed by those who fail to recognize the magic created in the darkroom.

"As humans, we sometimes look without seeing, and take the familiar for granted. I invite anyone who loves Louisiana's largest city to come view these prints and try to place them, in their minds, before reading the title cards and descriptions," Brodnax said.

Brodnax began to pursue her interest in photography in the 1980s and immediately began to win local and then national competitions. Her prints have been accepted worldwide with many best of show or gold medal awards earned and prints published in the PSA Journal.

Six of her prints have been winners in the Louisiana Office of Tourism's Travel Photo Contest, winning the grand prize in 1996. Her award-winning prints have been published in Louisiana Life magazine.

The Ouachita River Art Gallery, 308 Trenton St. in West Monroe is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

Brodnax's work can also be seen at ORAG's extension gallery in the Ouachita Independent Bank lobby on 18th and Louisville in Monroe. Call 322-2380 for more information.
