     Former vice president Nicholas Clames became our new Student Government president after James Ruane, the previous president stepped down.

    Nick is excited to take on the work though he was a little afraid because of the other clubs and activities he is apart of on campus like Civic Ambassadors.  One of his goals is to "unite" the students, and create a campus that people feel more connected with.

   One of his first acts as president is starting a recycling drive.  Students can recycle old notebooks, backpacks, folders, and other supplies.  Then they will be distributed back to students in need in the following semester.  He would like to be able to do this each semester.  More information on the recycling drive can be found at the Owens Outlook.

     Nick looks forward to creating a better campus.

     It was a big victory for Owens men's basketball team during their home opener against Ivy Tech Richmond.

     Only a few fans came to support Owens, but that did not slow the team down starting the game off with 12 unanswered points.  Throughout the game Ivy Tech tried to fight back bringing the score close on multiple occasions, although they were never able to overtake Owens.

     Passing and team play looked good from the beginning to the end of the game.  Owens points were scored from all over the court with little trouble. The men's basketball team started their season in a strong fashion winning 112 - 69.

     The room lights up in a flash as a photographer captures their target.  Assistants make adjustments to create the perfect shot. Studio 2 is the advanced class where students learn the ways of commercial photography.  The class "teaches me what I need to know to go where I want to go in the photography world" said Britney Duggan.  Her goal after graduation is product photography.

     Strobe and continuous kits to control are used with black and white cards to help control the light.  The class learns how to set table top designs, and how to manipulate the camera in order to                                                                                                             capture the clients vision.

     Students were working on the art director assignment and final projects.  The assignment is the ability to bring an art directors drawing to life by making the pictures match perfectly.  For the final projects, they capture a series of images based off the skills learned throughout the semester.  Emily Páez said studio 2 is "most educational and interactive class I've taken.  The one I enjoy and worry about the most."

     This class represents the professional studio environment so that students are prepared for real world situations and studios.
