… AND HERE ARE THE COMPLETE STORIES…
- Zoom SchmoozeFest!- On Thursday, May 12, we had a small but robust gathering during our Spring 2022 Zoom SchmoozeFest! All of our guests are always special, but on that night we had a surprise visit from Parisa Ashrafi who has been residing in Iran for the last fourteen years. It was an honor to be able to chat with her and the other SchmoozeFesters about their accomplishments. Our next Zoom SchmoozeFest will be Thursday, September 8, from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM so mark the date down on your calendar now so you can join in the fun.

- Amy Gaskin, Photojournalist- We are happy and proud to announce that Amy was honored for her outstanding photography and her Presidency and six years of Board service to the Press Photographers Association of Greater Los Angeles at the group's Annual Awards Ceremony in April.
In addition to being named President Emerita, her photography was honored with a number of awards throughout the ceremony including Photographer of the Year, Finalist.
She also presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Joanna Matos, the first female president of the organization. “Joanna broke the glass ceiling, helping me become just the fourth female president in our 86-year history.” The association is comprised of over 400 still and video photojournalists based in the greater Los Angeles area who provide news imagery to publications and broadcasts throughout the world.
Congratulations Amy! Well deserved!

Zehui “Zoe” Ni, Digital Product Designer, and CMC Alum- “Dear Professor Luna, Hello from Zoe, Honey and Sunny!
Thank you for your support and feedback on my project we had in the class. It just received the iF design talent award 2022.
Thank you so much for your incredible mentorship, guidance and support! (INSEAD also went very well, the final was a blast, I got A+)
I hope I made you proud :)
Thank you so much! Thank you for being the inspirational figure in my life! It's always an honor to be your student.
Thinking of you and the amazing class!
With love,”
Zoe, Honey Sunny

The iF design talent award, 2022, is “one of the most prestigious design awards worldwide.” In addition she completed her work in conjunction with the prestigious INSEAD graduate business school with highest honors. According to Google, “INSEAD is originally an acronym for the French ‘Institut Européen d'Administration des Affaires’ or European Institute of Business Administration. INSEAD is consistently ranked among the best business schools in the world.” Well done Zoe!
