FREE FACULTY & STAFF PHOTO SHOOT SCHEDULED FOR SEPT. 7 & 8
Photographer Craig Melvin, the
official photographer for the Buffalo Bills and an SBU adjunct for J/MC
this semester, will be on campus Sept. 7 and 8 for a free photo shoot
for faculty and staff. The head-and-shoulders photos will be used by the
Communications Office for web and print applications. This is a great
opportunity for new University employees to have a high-quality photo
taken by an exceptional photographer.
The photo shoot will be held in the Reilly Center’s Athletics Hall of Fame on:
•
Wednesday, Sept. 7, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• Thursday, Sept. 8, from noon to 4 p.m.
There is no fee and no appointment is necessary. There may be a small wait, but each session will take only minutes.
The photo shoot is open to all University employees, not just new hires. If it’s time to update your old photo, this is your chance.

‘CHILD SOLDIERS’ TO KICK OFF ALL BONAVENTURE VIEWS FESTIVAL
Three movies whose themes complement the 2011-12 All Bonaventure Reads book (“Little Princes: One Man’s Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal”) have been selected for the upcoming All Bonaventure Views film festival.
The campus community is invited to the following viewings in the Rigas Theater:
6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 7 — “Returned: Child Soldiers of Nepal’s Maoist Army” tells the personal story of Nepali boys and girls as they attempt to rebuild their lives after fighting a Maoist revolution. Through the voices of former child soldiers, the film examines why these children joined the Maoists and explores the prevention of future recruitment.
4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14 — “Everest: Beyond the Limit” was a Discovery Channel mini-series. With unusually severe weather and heartbreaking circumstances, this expedition up the world’s tallest peak becomes fraught with unexpected perils, leading to an emotional journey full of fear, hardship, exhaustion, disappointment and unforgettable triumphs.
4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21 — “Call + Response” is a first-of-its-kind feature documentary about present-day human trafficking. Luminaries on the issue, including Cornel West, Madeleine Albright and Daryl Hannah, offer first-hand accounts of this 21st century trade. West draws parallels between the music of the American slaves and the chart-topping hits of today, with performances in the film by such artists as Moby, Switchfoot, Five for Fighting, and Matisyahu.
First-year students who attend the film festival should adhere their Quick Center theater stub to their Passport book.
Highlighting the All Bonaventure Reads fall programming will be a Monday, Sept. 26, campus visit by “Little Princes” author Conor Grennan, during which he’ll give a public presentation at 7 p.m. in the Reilly Center Arena.
