Today, leading cannabis education provider Cannabis Community College celebrates the cannabis holiday 4/20 by releasing the parody Baby Got Bud video by “Sir Toke-A-Lot.” The organization is also giving away free cannabis courses and certifications on its platform until the month’s end to empower tomorrow’s industry professionals.

The entire curriculum is available free of charge by using the discount code 420FREE at checkout. 

“We wanted to do something fun and different this year to help celebrate the growth of our industry and thought it would be effective to educate through a parody and to offer free education,” said Christi McAdams, founder of Cannabis Community College. 

Cannabis Community College (CCC) provides state-specific education enabling students to work in any sector of the legal cannabis industry. Its platform covers state compliance, regulations, standard operating procedures, and much more. All of the courses are taught by leading industry experts who lend their insider knowledge on a variety of topics.

CCC also assists students looking for jobs through its paid intern project. The college has already trained and helped place over 2,000 students nationwide and anticipates boosting that number considerably this year. 

“Our industry offers unlimited growth potential to anyone with a good work ethic; therefore, we strive to educate and onboard as many people as we can reach,” McAdams added. “Our focus isn’t on making money — it’s on changing people’s lives.”

Depending on the response, CCC may extend its free course offer indefinitely through the college’s scholarship programs to guarantee quality cannabis education to anyone, regardless of financial ability.

Hotel Nikko San Francisco’s Anna Marie Presutti will be honored by her alma mater with the 2023 Bears of Distinction Outstanding Alumna Award. The 2023 Bears of Distinction Dinner and Awards Ceremony will take place at 6 p.m., April 21, in the Christopher S. Bond Learning Center at the William H. Darr Agricultural Center in Springfield.  

Each year, the Missouri State University Alumni Association honors a group of distinguished alumni, former faculty and staff, and volunteers in an awards ceremony recognizing their exceptional achievements. Their leadership roles and impact on their communities are among the hallmarks of these alumni and friends from around the globe. This year, Anna Marie has been selected by the alumni association as the 2023 Outstanding Alumna Award winner.

Anna Marie Presutti began her hospitality career at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. She realized the true magic in hospitality comes through genuine customer service, listening to colleagues and guests alike, and serving with compassion and dignity. 

“I’ve always felt drawn to a life of service. My role has allowed me to help people, whether it be a hotel guest or member of my community, and has enabled me to provide well-deserved opportunities to the young men and women beginning their careers in hospitality.” – Anna Marie Presutti

Her professional experience includes leadership positions with ITT Sheraton, Hilton Hotels, and Sunstone Hotel Properties. She has been named one of “The Most Influential Women in the Bay Area” by the San Francisco Business Times 9 years in a row and is consistently recognized for her work. Anna Marie’s additional accolades include Outstanding General Manager of the Year by the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA), SF Hotel Council Peter Goldman Award of Excellence winner, and PCMA’s Legend Award. 

Additionally, Anna Marie serves on the US Travel Association Board of Directors. As Chairman of the SF Travel Board, she was an integral part of the Super Bowl Host Committee which captured Super Bowl 50 for San Francisco in 2016. 

A firm believer in giving back to the community, Presutti has displayed compassion through her commitment to community service and environmental stewardship, inspiring hotel colleagues and Hotel Nikko employees to dedicate more than 1,000 hours each year to serving lunch, planting trees, or donating to Dress for Success which supports the local community. 

Since joining Hotel Nikko San Francisco in 2004, Anna Marie envisioned the Manager in Training program at Hotel Nikko as a way to recruit the best and brightest from MSU to give the future generation of the Hospitality Industry an immersive, hands-on experience of working in a luxury property. To this day, the program has recruited 25 MSU Graduates, covering relocation costs and housing and providing a guaranteed Manager role after completion.  

The 2023 Bears of Distinction Dinner and Awards Ceremony event is open to the public. Tickets are $40 per person or $320 for a table of eight. Attendees can RSVP online or by calling 417-836-5654.

SEA IDYLLS: a monumental Carole A. Feuerman exhibition on Park Avenue opens in conjunction with a solo gallery retrospective at Galeries Bartoux New York.

From April 27th until the end of this year, Carole A. Feuerman’s iconic swimmers are back in New York City with a monumental exhibition on prestigious Park Avenue and a solo show devoted to the artist’s universe at Galeries Bartoux New York.

OPENING CELEBRATION ON THURSDAY, APRIL 27

MONUMENTAL OUTDOOR PUBLIC EXHIBITION
Beginning at 4:00 pm on April 27, The artist will be present and giving a speech at 101 E 37^th Street and Park Avenue. This public exhibition of nine monumental sculptures was made possible by the support of the Patrons of Park Avenue (POPA), the Murray Hill Neighborhood Association (MHNA), the City Of New York, and the Bartoux family. The artworks are installed outdoors on the Park Avenue divide between 34th and 39th Street through the end of 2023. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

HYPER-REALISTIC AND RETROSPECTIVE SOLO SHOW
Beginning at 6:30 pm on April 27, the opening reception of “SEA IDYLLS” at Galeries Bartoux New York – 104 Central Park South will take place. Continuing until December 2023, the gallery exhibition is an interactive experience dedicated to the world of Carole A. Feuerman. This retrospective reveals the artist’s creative process through a faithful reconstruction of her studio, her first sculptures, as well as a selection of exclusive artworks. She is one of the three founders of Hyperrealism, and the only woman to sculpt outdoor hyper-realistic figures. She is known as the Doyenne of the movement. 

Going beyond the limits of hyper-realism, discover Feuerman’s sculpture PISCES as she comes to life, (one of the artist’s emblematic works). Thanks to an innovative animated video produced in collaboration with Superbien Studio, experience her at the sea, lulled by the sound of the waves. PISCES becomes more and more real according to the cycle of the sun, from dawn to dusk…at night, she disappears into the sea.

View the short teaser video here.

“This exhibition is not just about art, but about creating a moment of pause and reflection for the viewers.  They are not just swimmers; they tell my stories. They are satisfied with life and moreover, they are survivors.” – Carole A. Feuerman
