SBU TO SCREEN ACADEMY AWARD-NOMINATED DOCUMENTARY ON CLIMATE CHANGE THURSDAY
St. Bonaventure University will hold a screening of the Academy Award-nominated documentary “Sun Come Up,” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18, in the William F. Walsh Science Center Amphitheater. The film screening is sponsored by Tread Lightly, St. Bonaventure’s student environmental group. Admission is free and open to the public.
“Sun Come Up” depicts some of the world’s first “climate refugees,” who were inhabitants of the Carteret Islands just north of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. Recently, these residents were forced to move off the island completely because of climate change.
This film is just one of a series of events that coincides with SBU’s annual Sustainability Week.

FISCHER, BRAWDY SHARE RESEARCH AT SYMPOSIUM
Dr. Anne-Claire Fisher and Dr. Paul Brawdy recently participated in an educational symposium at Dickinson College where they shared findings gathered from a number of their projects linking experiential encounters with the Carlisle Industrial Indian School and the development of a critical pedagogy for/by pre-service teachers.
The title of the symposium was “Carlisle, PA: Site of Indigenous Histories, Memories, and Reclamations." Their presentation was titled “Experiencing Carlisle Industrial Indian School (CIIS): Situating A Critical Pedagogy In Teacher Preparation.” Fisher and Brawdy were part of the panel “CIIS Legacy and Critical Pedagogy: Educating the Next Generation.”
This panel focused on research Fisher and Brawdy have done since 2010 on lessons learned by pre-service teachers about the role of schools in the assimilation of Native Americans and the challenges that young teachers face when considering the possibilities of a more culturally responsive pedagogy when working with students today whose cultural narrative is different from their own.

SR. KATHY DOUGHERTY TO VISIT CAMPUS OCT. 22
Members of the All Bonaventure Reads committee are hosting Sr. Kathy Dougherty, a former member of St. Bonaventure University’s University Ministries team, at 4 p.m. on Oct. 22, in the Quick Center’s Loft. Her presentation, titled "Prison and Prisoners and Lessons Learned," will dovetail with themes in this year's ABR book, “In the Sanctuary of Outcasts.”
Sr. Kathy’s Baltimore-based ministry often draws her to pastoral work with prisoners. Sr. Kathy will be discussing her background, a few Franciscan stories that have helped to shape her perspective, and what happens from the time a person is arrested until he or she is committed to the jail to await trial.
Sr. Kathy will also share some stories about the women she has met, their life circumstances and their faith and strength in the midst of very challenging life experiences. In addition to her presentation at 4 p.m., Sr. Kathy will have the opportunity to visit some classes to share her experiences.
This event counts as an ABR passport event.
TWLOHA INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER COMING TO CAMPUS
Chad Moses, a representative from the non-profit movement To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA), will speak at St. Bonaventure University from 5 to 7 p.m. today, in the Walsh Auditorium. A reception with Moses will immediately follow in Walsh Room 201.
Moses is a graduate of the University of Virginia (Jewish and Religious Studies) and has conducted presentations across the United States and Australia.

Supported by bands such as Switchfoot, Anberlin and Paramore, TWLOHA spread quickly throughout the music community. Now, with one of the largest online audiences of any non-profit on Facebook and Twitter, the TWLOHA team has responded to more than 170,000 messages from 100 countries. TWLOHA has also given more than $1 million directly to treatment and recovery. The organization has been featured on NBC Nightly News, CBS Sunday Morning, MTV and Rolling Stone Magazine.
Most recently, TWLOHA won the $1 million grand prize in the American Giving Awards presented by Chase.
Space is limited; please contact Samantha Kauffman, kauffmsr09@bonaventure.edu, to RSVP. For more information, contact Dr. Barbara Trolley, btrolley@sbu.edu.

SBU FILM FESTIVAL TO PROMOTE DISABILITY AWARENESS
The Sprout Touring Film Festival will stop at St. Bonaventure at 7 p.m. today in the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts.
The event, co-sponsored by the SBU Chapter of the Council for Exceptional Children, School of Education and the Diversity Action Committee, aims to bring awareness to those who have developmental disabilities.
Dr. Anne-Claire Fisher, associate professor in the Differentiated Instruction graduate program, said the power of this film festival is different because all the videos shown are created by people with disabilities themselves. “It is not able-bodied people talking about people with disabilities,” she said. “It is a slight shift in the normal perception of those who normally create films.”
The film festival will be a Cultural and Diversity Passport event.

Over the past week LeChase Construction has made significant progress toward closing in the new Swan Business Center building. The steel framework of the two-story front lobby is now in place, with the framework for its pyramidal tile roof to follow shortly.
The stair towers are completed, and concrete for their roofs will be installed next week. Also next week, concrete will be placed for the first floor. The exterior wall is taking shape as workers install steel studs, to be covered later with glass-reinforced building board and faced with brick. At this point the layout of the windows is becoming apparent.
See the work on our live webcams, www.sbu.edu/construction.
