Shawangunk Review Brings back Memories

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

The 20th Anniversary Edition of the Shawangunk Review Reading had many professors, alumni, and current students reminiscing about recent years and even memories from 40 years ago. It was a successful event and we look forward to many more!

Check out our Facebook Fan Page for a complete album of all the readers and stay tuned for podcasts of the poetry readings from last night!

Evolutionary Studies Event with Slam Poets!

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

November 16 @ 6:30 in Parker Theater

There are three parts to the evening’s festivities.

 First, the four students EvoS was able to support this past summer will briefly present their topics of research and their results.  For students interested in summer research projects related to evolution, this will be an opportunity to find out more about funding for next year.

Next, the New Paltz Slam Poetry group will present several pieces that they have been working on.  These were written specifically for this event.

Finally, we will have a performance by Baba Brinkman, a rapper that will perform his work related to evolution.  Interestingly, for your constituents, he has a master’s degree in English and started his career in performance with an album of Canterbury Tales Rap.
