A huge shout out to Earl Brown and Arvin Unawa, VACE’s May 2026 Students of the Month!

Earl, a Studio Production Technician program student, has been recognized for perfect attendance multiple times, He sets a great example daily for his fellow classmates and is first to volunteer for whatever special assignment that comes his way. Earl has proudly represented his program at many events, including the Ventura Chamber of Commerce’s Poinsettia Awards, the Simi Film Fest, and too many VUSD board meetings to mention. All this while maintaining straight A’s in his course work and an A+ in attitude.

Arvin finished his Digital Multimedia Technician program with plenty of time to spare and is now working toward completing the Studio Production Technician program. He’s shown nothing but focus, a great work ethic, and obvious enjoyment of his studies, both in class, and while representing TDC Studios at VUSD board meetings and other events. Way to go, Arvin!
