Congratulations to Mary on her selection as a Women of Distinction
Greetings,
I would like to congratulate Mary Bussman for having been nominated and selected as a Woman of Distinction by Century College.
Century began its Women of Distinction awards in 2005 to highlight the accomplishments of women in our society, and also to celebrate that more women gain access to higher education through community/technical colleges than through any other type of post-secondary institution.

Illuminations Concerts Features Two World Premier Songs
VENI,VENI is a fantasy on two verses of the medieval Advent hymn “Veni, Veni Emmanuel.” The piece invokes the light by which we recognize the divinity in all things and the wisdom to live according to the knowledge of that divinity. The soloist’s closing phrase “the light in me greets the light in you” (translated from the Indian greeting Namaste) is for the composer, J. David Moore, the fulfillment of the desire infusing the verses.
