Budgetball goes to DC!

On Sunday June 14th, college students, White House staffers, The House Budget Committee and Treasury Department competed head to head in a national Budgetball tournament on the National Mall - a game designed by PETLab and Area/Code to create awareness around the Nation's budget deficit. US Secretary General Tim Geithner congratulated participants and praised the game, saying "...I support initiatives like Budgetball which seek to broaden public awareness of the need for responsible financial behavior in our private and public lives. A more fiscally and financially fit public is important to a healthier economy and more prosperous future."

1000 Cell Phones, a Parsons/Tsinghua University collaboration, will be included as part of Figment 2009 this June 12-14 on Governor's Island.

On June 12-14th come out and play big urban games designed by Parsons Students, Alums, and Faculty at the Come Out and Play Festival! Games by Parsons students and PETLab include:

Photopolis
Alien Recon
Ran Some, Ransom
Adrift Atlantean

Ryan Riegner (BFACD '11) with “Eleflate,” his homebrew 13-foot-high inflatable elephant, made in Ted Byfield’s Production course.

Don't miss our screenings of the jury-selected winners of the 10th Annual Parsons Animation and Digital Film Festival taking place Tuesday and Wednesday, May 19 + 20 at 7:00 PM in Swayduck Auditorium, 65 Fifth Ave.

Congratulations 2009 CDT graduates!

This year's CDT divisional commencement will take place in Tishman Auditorium (66 W 12th St.) on Thursday, May 21 from 9:30 AM-11:30 AM. This informal gathering is an opportunity for us to provide CDT students with individual recognition for their years of hard work and dedication. While this event is open to family and friends, we urge you to arrive early, as seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
