Washington D.C. AIDS Walk
9:15 a.m. |
STARS is planning to participate in the Washington D.C. AIDS Walk this year! It falls on October 4, which is not during Fall Break, so we will all be on campus. We are trying to asses how much interest there is in getting a group together for the walk. The walk starts at 9:15 a.m., so we'd have to leave bright and early in the morning, but we know you guys can do it for a good cause. ;). If you are interested in walking, please contact Sarah Bastien, STARS Secretary, ASAP so she can get a tentative head count.
The registration fee for college students is $15. Right now STARS does not have that money in the budget (because we didn't know if we'd be attending), but if you'd like to go and the fee is a problem, get in touch with Sarah and she'll help work something out.

Thursday, 23 October, DPC 8.00 PM |
Jane Ingram Allen, theater artist and writer, with Sharon Wyrrick, sculptor, installation artist, and papermaker, “Bitten by Butterflies and Other Infections”: will be a performance that straddles lecture and performance and installation. Jane’s and Sharon’s collaborative work will be an installation functioning on different experiential levels: part biography, part travelogue, and part visual expression, evoking the sensory feel, beauty, and diversity of butterflies. |
| Monday, 27 October, Goodpaster Auditorium (195) 4.45-5.45 PM |
Melanie Hawthorne, Professor of French and Director of Comparative Literature, Texas A&M, “Cities of the Dead”: a photo review of Paris cemeteries and gravesites of French/American/British literary figures, such as René Vivien, Gertrude Stein, Samuel Beckett, Baudelaire, Oscar Wilde, etc. Her discussion will focus on commemorative culture, gendered expressions of memory and loss, celebrity and burial, and photography’s role in all of these categories.
