Cecil Awards 2010

Dodge College held its annual Cecil Awards on Friday, May 21 at Marion Knott Studios. This event celebrates the hard work of all of its graduating students. All senior projects are evaluated and nominated by the faculty-awards range from Best Picture to Best Advertising Campaign to Acheivement in Animation.
Parents, students and staff all break out their stylish evening attire for the event. It truly feels like you are at a award show in Hollywood as you walk down the red carpet into the theater. During the show, the audience gets to see clips and stills of all the nominee's projects, as well has hear advice from their favorite professors. The event ends with a elegant after party filled with food, fun and dancing.
The Cecil Awards is completly ran and organized by students, which gives them the experience of planning a real awards show. Students from all disciplines pull their skills together to make a successful event. Whether is promoting the event, designing the stage or organizing the after party, the student committee works hard all semester to create a memorable event for the graduating students. It's a great opportunity to put that they have learned in classes to practical use!


This event is always a highlight at the end of the year, and always proves to be a great way to celebrate before graduation. Check out more pictures from the event at www.cecilawards.com.
