Halloween for Hunger
Founded by BSU Professor, Dr. Jonathan White |
 *Click
here for drop off points |
Halloween for Hunger, founded by BSU professor Jonathan White, is an
international program that collects canned food and other
non-perishables each Halloween for local food banks.
In support of our students who will be demonstrating the importance of civic
engagement this year on Halloween, we ask that families and alumni share
in this charitable cause by bringing a donation with them on Family
Day/Homecoming. Look for the Green Can Icon on this schedule for convenient drop off
points.
You may find this
list of items needed by local
support agencies helpful, however all donations are accepted.

Halloween for Hunger campaign.
We hope you will support the civic engagement of the university's
students and this important cause. |

Art Exhibit
Animals
Anderson Art Gallery
Starting with the cave paintings of
Altamira, the depiction of animals has spanned the fantastic to the
scientific. The four artists that have been selected for this exhibition
all share a strong concern that the connectivity between humanity and
the natural world has been broken or lost.
The methods used to portray this idea
of a world out of balance vary with each artist. John Pusateri in his
meticulous lithography details the tragedy of dead songbirds. Exacting
photorealism is counterbalanced in the works of Larassa Kabel, by what
appears to be a stallion in freefall. Natural Order by Rachel Meuler
portrays a world of unnatural growth and unbound metamorphosis.
Chimerical creatures populate the introspective and mythic ceramics
presented by Adrian Arleo.
Animals have always played a significant role in artistic expression,
from Audubon to totemic representation. The curator for this exhibition,
Leigh Craven, has gathered together these works of art that strike a
cautionary note in humanities unbalanced approach to nature.
Also:
Stop by to meet BSU's new Collections
& Exhibitions Manager, Jay Block.

Norman Ng - Magician
East Campus Commons
Norman Ng (Pronounced "ing") has been performing his
exciting and unique brand of magic throughout the US for
over 17 years. He has performed for more than 500,000
from the New York Hilton Hotel, to the World Famous
Magic Castle in Hollywood, California, as well as on
hundreds of college campuses, fairs, festivals, theaters
and corporate events nationwide.
Norman is known for bringing a fresh and dynamic energy
to his shows. He views his show as a conversation with
an audience rather than a performance for them. He
involves the audience in ways no other performer does.
He gets the audience to react in ways they never thought
they could. He swings stuff, smashes stuff, and makes
hundreds of people suspend their disbelief with every
show.
