Watch your step

The Union Quad area at Buffalo State College is the central gathering point for students on campus and also represents one of the biggest hazards at BSC, but Campus Services has a remedy for repair.

The Union Quad is surrounded by Butler Library, Grover Cleveland Hall, the Student Union and Bulger Communications Center. The uneven bricklaying has an abstract pattern. One of the associate directors of campus services and facilities, Joseph Ball, described why the pattern is varied.

“The 30-year-old masonry was built on poorly compacted film and a major water main break in 1993 in front of Butler Library caused the assorted stonework,” he said.

Creativity to enhance resume

he Creative Studies Department might just spark the imagination of Buffalo State College students.

“Creativity is something you actually need,” said Suzanne Ramos, a graduate student studying creativity.

Gerard Puccio, Ph.D., chair of the creative studies department, agrees with Ramos.
“Creative thinking and problem solving are essential workplace skills,” Gerard Puccio said.

“Creative thinking and problem solving is a core leadership skill; leaders solve complex problems and therefore need to be able to think creatively.”

V-Day means more than just love at Buffalo State College

Forget the red roses, Godiva chocolates and mushy declarations of love. This past Valentine’s Day, instead of romance, Buffalo State College celebrated something much more unconventional: vaginas.

As one of more than 2,500 benefit events produced in honor of V-Day 2005, Buffalo State students read selected pieces from Eve Ensler’s critically acclaimed play, “The Vagina Monologues.”

Ensler, with the help of a group of women inspired by her work, formed V-Day in 1998 as a movement designed to stop violence against females...

 

Mary Salerno demonstrates the different sounds of the female orgasm while performing “The Woman who Loved to Make Vaginas Happy”.

 
 

Redefining the real world
Once the internships are over and there are no more classes to attend, college graduates have a major life decision to make. They can apply the invaluable skills they have learned in college and enter the professional world. Or they can do “a year of teaching in Brazil, work on a vineyard in New Zealand, or bike across the United States.” At least that is what Colleen Kinder suggests in the introduction to her book, “Delaying the Real World: A Twentysomething’s Guide to Seeking Adventure.” Kinder signed books at the Barnes and Noble bookstore in the Student Union at Buffalo State College on March 16.
