Ash Julian, the winner of the Phi Beta Kappa Wit and Wisdom award, will present their award-winning essay "Stranger Things Robin Buckley and the Female Autism Phenotype Theory." The essay compares the depiction of the character Robin in Stranger Things to the characteristics of female autism phenotype and posits that the character represents a positive example of a female character with autism (a type of character rarely depicted in popular culture).

The Bergren Forum takes place every Thursday lunchtime during the semester from 12:15 pm to 1:00 pm in Nevins Theater. You're welcome to bring your own lunch. Tea and coffee will be provided.

As we continue to work through a significant volume of work orders and projects in Administrative Programming, I want to take an opportunity to remind you of some procedures that will help all of us work as effectively as possible. If you have a smaller programming request, please send those requests to adminprog@alfred.edu. Please do not send those initial programming requests directly to a specific programmer. This will allow us to route your request to a programmer who can best handle your request.

Also, if you have a larger request that you envision will require weeks (or even months) of concentrated programming time, please send those to myself <roberts@alfred.edu>. Projects and larger requests require a conversation about prioritization.

Thank you for continued support and assistance,
Cheers and Fiat Lux!

In anticipation of another beautiful Alfred summer full of exciting programs and events, campus event planners are invited to a Summer 2024 planning meeting.

Numerous offices, departments, schools, and colleges are involved in creating or supporting summer activities such as classes, workshops, events, or other programs.

The request for this meeting grew out of a conversation with the informal event planning group who desire to collect information, share resources, and collaborate on event planning on campus. This group comprised of staff and faculty across disparate campus offices and our regular meetings are open to all. Summer programs are robust and growing across campus.

The purpose of this meeting will be to create an opportunity for communication with stakeholders from across campus who are involved in any type of summer programming. This interdepartmental communication will help improve overall awareness of what summer 2024 will look like in Alfred. The goal is also to strengthen our collaborations and plan for and anticipate the impact on our support services.

This meeting will be in person as face-to-face interaction facilitates collaboration. We understand that in person is not an option for everyone, and we have included a Zoom link for those who need to join remotely.

If you know of someone not on this list that could benefit from or add to the conversation, please feel free to forward the invitation or contact auevents@alfred.edu for the calendar invite or zoom link.

We hope you will join us!

Sincerely,

Mechele Romanchock

DON'T DRESS FOR DINNER

adapted by: Robin Hawdon

Directed by: Kolton Bradley
(Assistant Professor of Theatre)

Performance dates: November 1- 2 and 8 - 9, 2024

Don't Dress For Dinner is written in the style of a classic French farce, full of mistaken identities, rapid-fire dialogue, and unexpected twists. Bernard wants Suzanne. His wife Jacqueline wants his best friend, Robert. Suzette comes to cook them all dinner, and her husband, George, might have to set them all straight. The action spills from the drawing room to the bedroom to the kitchen in this hilarious and fast-moving farce of marriage, lust, and cordon bleu cuisine. Written by French playwright Marc Camoletti, this boulevard comedy was a smash hit in Paris, where it played for over two years, and in London, where it ran for six years. It has since played in theatres all over America where it was revived in Chicago and on Broadway.

AUDITION INFO:
Please prepare a monologue in the style of the show - comedic monologue The monologue can be from a movie, television, or a play. The monologue should be no longer than 90 seconds.

Kathy began her career at Alfred University on July 6, 1981. Throughout the years Kathy has worked her way up from Support Staff, Loan Processor to Financial Aid Counselor. Kathy has spent countless years making sure that students would have loan monies processed for the academic year. She worked a lot with the AUNY CITE student population as well. Kathy has dedicated much time to working with all of us on campus. The Financial Aid Office will miss her sense of humor, answering countless questions, commitment to helping students, and her delicious sugar cookies.

Next time you stop at the store to buy a drink, take a second to think: would you rather buy a sugary soda or green tea? Green tea is a drink that has a wide variety of health benefits. One benefit of green tea is that it helps decrease the risk of heart disease and lowers cholesterol since green tea is loaded with antioxidants. Another benefit of green tea is that it can help reduce the risk of bone injuries. Green tea has a lot of polyphenol content which increases bone density, causing your bones to become stronger. The polyphenol content doesn't only help with your bones, but it also helps reduce the risk of cancer. Green tea can help decrease the risk of breast cancer by 15% and reduce the risk of Colorectal cancer by 30-40% when consumed daily. Green tea does not only help with your physical health, but it helps with mental health. The L-theanine in green tea helps increase your overall mood and reduces stress. Green tea is a drink that should be consumed by everyone since it has so many health benefits.
