computer bootcamp this Summer. The sessions will be during the day,
Monday July 14 through Friday July 18 from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Lunch
at the Dining Hall is included.

Students will learn the fundamentals of computers and computer
programming, using the Python programming language. Bootcamp is
based on the Cisco Academy Python Essentials 1 on-line course, with a
Holy Cross Computer Science professor and student guiding attendees
in the computer lab.

The only cost for Cross Code Bootcamp at Holy Cross College is a $20.00
registration fee per person, to help cover the cost of a book and lunch
in the Dining Hall each day.

Flora and Fauna: Mark Ghyselinck CSC and Julie Neises

June 14 through July 26
Opening reception on Saturday, June 14, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm.
Artist talk July 12, at 2:00 pm by the two artists.

Fire Arts invites the public to an exhibit by Impressionist artist Mark Ghyselinck CSC, and sculptor Julie Neises. Their exhibit features the recently created mosaic paintings by Ghyselinck and the bronze creatures sculpted by Neises.

Having just retired from teaching at the University of Portland, Ghyselinck still creates many kinds of art. He has painted many mountains, rivers and flowers, and now looks forward to some Midwest Autumn color paintings. “Over the years I’ve grown toward being an impressionist artist and in this show my primary contribution will be two large mosaics made of painted canvases rather than pieces of glass.” When possible, he works with acrylics and likes to keep one slow-developing oil painting alive in the studio at all times.

Julie, also a retired art instructor, has been creating bronze work for the past
46 years. Currently she has been focusing on our planet’s small creatures that are endangered or threatened in some way. In her research on that issue, she has realized that most all creatures seem to be threatened in some way due to climate change and loss of natural habitat. Many of Julie’s pieces have been exhibited in regional shows and competitions, including the Elkhart Regional Juried Show, the Hoosier Salon in Indianapolis, and the National Sculpture Society’s Annual show in New York.

Join us in the Miller Auditorium at Goshen Theater on July 18th, for our FREE MOVIE NIGHT showing of “To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Love Julie Newmar” at 7PM!

Elite Manhattan drag queens Vida Boheme (Patrick Swayze) and Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes) impress regional judges in competition, securing berths in the Nationals in Los Angeles. When the two meet pathetic drag novice Chi-Chi Rodriguez (John Leguizamo) — one of the losers that evening — the charmed Vida and Noxeema agree to take the hopeless youngster under their joined wing. Soon the three set off on a madcap road trip across America and struggle to make it to Los Angeles in time.

Rated: PG-13
Run Time: 1hr 49min
