In about 4 minutes Verena Bunge ‘11 and Elana Hazghia ‘11 will begin a presentation of their grant-winning Project for Peace and screen the film that inspired it all. Make your way over to Gannett right now to see Born Into Brothels and hear the duo talk about what they plan on doing with their 10,000.
If for some reason you can just drop everything you are doing and sprint to the auditorium be sure to check out their article in this morning’s Post Star.
Since I’m a spoiled college student living of my parents getting a job was something I planned on putting off until I was around thirty. Unfortunately I keep waking from night terrors where I am strangled to death by resume as the ethereal floating heads of my future employers laugh at my work experience. so yea… do like me and register with Career Services’ CareerLink to find out about “entry level jobs, internships and careers in your field(s) of interests.”
Remember Skidmore alumnus Scott Hamilton Kennedy ‘87? Well his documentary The Garden was nominated for an Academy Award this year and he’ll be on campus to screen his film during the second annual Skidmore Film Festival this week along with the Director of A Walk to Beautiful Mary Olive Smith.
The three-day film festival will feature critically acclaimed films, a chance to interact with the directors, and a student competition. Admission is free and open to the public.
For more information, visit the Film Festival web site or TheFacebook.
Annie Bruckner ’11 writes in to lets us know about the upcoming SGA elections.
