Bucks County Community College Has a New Dance Partner

 Without missing a step, Bucks County Community College dance majors can now transfer to DeSales University in nearby Center Valley, Pa., to complete their bachelor's degree. The collaboration creates expanded opportunities for dance students to continue their artistic and academic journeys with a seamless pathway from Bucks to DeSales. What’s more, Bucks students with a 2.75 GPA or above and enrolled as a full-time student will receive a scholarship equal to 50% of DeSales’ tuition rate. There are two pathways for dance students to enter DeSales through Bucks, according to Tia Kern, the coordinator of the College’s dance program. “One of the great benefits of this agreement is that high school seniors can audition at DeSales, gain acceptance, and then choose to begin their studies at Bucks,” said Kern. “By doing so, they can essentially bypass the audition process when transferring as college juniors, while also saving a significant portion of tuition before completing their bachelor’s degree.” Students can also audition to enter DeSales as college juniors at Bucks through the advising structure designed within the agreement, added Kern. The College will celebrate its new dance partner with a special performance at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, in the Zlock Performing Arts Center. The program will feature performances by Bucks dancers alongside visiting dancers from DeSales, highlighting the talent, creativity, and shared commitment to excellence that defines this growing partnership. “We invite students, faculty, and the community to come together in support of the arts and this exciting new chapter for dance education,” said Kern. The performance, which is free and open to the public, takes place on the campus located at 275 Swamp Rd., Newtown, Pa., where there is ample free parking. For a campus map and directions, visit the Newtown Campus web page. The Associate of Arts degree in dance is one of ten programs of study offered by the School of Arts and Communication. Bucks County Community College is an accredited institutional member of both the National Association of Schools of Art and Design and the National Association of Schools of Music.

Learn About 'The Forgotten Girls' of the Holocaust with Film Screening and Q & A

 Edith Grosman was seventeen when Slovak officials ordered unmarried Jewish girls to register for work service. Filled with a sense of national pride, she joined hundreds of other innocent young women who were under the false impression their patriotic duty would benefit their families. Instead, they were deported to Auschwitz as expendable slave labor. Grosman and others tell their incredible stories of survival first-hand in the award-winning documentary “999: The Forgotten Girls,” coming to Bucks County Community College at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 26. The free screening, presented by the College’s School of Social and Behavioral Science and the Holocaust and Genocide Studies certificate program, includes a question-and-answer session with director Heather Dune Macadam. The Slovak government paid the Nazis the equivalent of $3,000 to deport each girl. Through first-person testimony and rare archival material, we learn the little-known facts of the women’s camp in 1942 and how a handful of the girls managed against all odds to survive over three long years of hell on earth. “Too many stories — especially those of young women — remain untold or overlooked,” said Paula Raimondo, Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies. “The first transport of Jewish girls from Slovakia to Auschwitz is not widely known, yet it reveals so much about deception, state complicity, gendered persecution, and resilience. When we bring these histories into the light, we not only honor the victims and survivors, we challenge ourselves to confront the systems that made such atrocities possible.” Macadam spent over 20 years researching and interviewing families, witnesses, and survivors of the first official transport to Auschwitz. Her internationally acclaimed book “999: The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz” (published in 2020), on which the film is based, has been translated into 18 languages and was a PEN Finalist in 2021. The film was honored with the Human Rights Award at the Hamptons Documentary Fest, Best Documentary at the Miami Jewish Film Festival Audience Award, and as an official selection of the New York Jewish Film Festival. “I am especially thrilled to offer this event in conjunction with our spring Rescue and Resistance course, in which students spend the semester examining moral courage, defiance, and survival under unimaginable circumstances,” added Raimondo. “Hearing this story — grounded in first-person testimony and Heather’s years of research — deepens that study in a profound way. It reminds us that resistance took many forms, including the daily, determined will to survive.” The free screening, which is supported by a Mark Schonwetter Foundation Grant, takes place in the Zlock Performing Arts Center, located on the campus at 275 Swamp Rd., Newtown, PA 18940.
