Student Film Makes Rooftop Comedy Short List

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Resident funny man Willy Appelman’s short film Genevieve made it to the Rooftop Comedy list of the top 48 college short films. Rooftop Comedy is kind of like the March Madness of college comedy but instead of “dunkin’ buckets” people tell jokes and then other less funny people vote on them. Today is your last chance to vote for Willy’s film and help him advance to the next round.

And yes, you do have to register to vote, but judging by the fact that you are visiting this website you will probably welcome the distraction.

Appelman Interview Series: Joe Porter

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

In the newest installment of his interview series Appelman sits down with Joe Porter to talk about Senior Gift.

Senior Class Gift is a Skidmore tradition that provides each senior class the opportunity to present a $15,000 scholarship to a deserving student.  The Class of 2009 will strive to set a record of having 100% of seniors participate with a contribution now and a pledge for next year. The current participation record stands at 94% and the Class of 2009 will launch their effort to reach 100% through the month of March.  If this goal is reached (regardless of actual funds raised), two Skidmore Trustees personally make up the difference to $15,000. <via>
