Round table discussion kicks off celebration of play on television

At 7 p.m. on Sept. 9th, Buffalo State Alumnus Tom Fontana, Director Drew Kahn and the five actors involved in “The Day Jack London Got Pinched,” were on hand to answer questions after the premiere of the documentary.

The discussion was by invite only, as select staff from Buffalo State College, including President Muriel Howard, television partners from PBS, locally known as WNED, and theater and broadcasting students were invited. Kahn said that the turnout was close to 300 people at Rockwell Hall. Fontana adopted the play after reading Jack London’s autobiography “Road” and brought the idea to the theatre department back in 2003.

Buffalo State College students will have ANGELs on their shoulders this spring.

ANGEL is a new computer program that will be supplementing BSC courses, beginning this spring.  According to Melaine Kenyon, the system administrator for ANGEL, the program will replace Blackboard and it is already being used by 200 students in nine courses, including eight graduate courses and one undergraduate course.   

The door has finally opened for a new exhibit for the first time by the wood design department.

Upton Gallery, will be hosting a wood furniture exhibit by Thomas Stender, artist/professor.

Walking into Upton Gallery, wooden chairs and tables made of oak and maple are constructed from everyday materials.

An art student from Buffalo State College when asked how the exhibits made them feel, said, “Relaxed. Very Feng Shui.”
