We hope to recruit both traditional and non-traditional students, from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines, to participate in open discussions of how the Library can best serve our students. Our first meeting will take place on Friday, September 24th at 11:00 am in the Library’s Local History Room. Lunch will be served.

CCC to Offer Women’s Volleyball Cayuga Community College will be adding women’s volleyball as an intercollegiate varsity sport program offering next year. With the local popularity of the sport combined with our excellent indoor facilities in Spartan Hall…it makes sense for us to add women’s volleyball. We seem to have an annual interest in prospective students interested in playing volleyball at the next level. The athletic department will begin the search for a new coach
immediately in hopes of being able to put a team on the court this coming Fall 2010 season. The Spartans will spend the summer preparing their facilities to accommodate the new volleyball program. If you know anyone who might have an interest in playing volleyball at CCC or would like more information…please contact Pete Liddell at 294-8861 or via e-mail at liddell@cayuga-cc.edu
Emmy Award-Winning Actor to Perform Live at CCC October 3 Acclaimed actor Ed Asner, whose voice starred in the 2010 Oscar– winning animated feature, Up, will appear this fall in a one-man live show, FDR, at the Auburn campus of Cayuga Community College. The one-hour performance will be presented by the Cayuga Community College Foundation on Sunday, October 3, at 3:00 p.m. in the college’s Irene A. Bisgrove Community Theatre. FDR, a portrait of the iconic American president Franklin Delano Roosevelt, is a sequel to the 1950s Broadway hit Sunrise at Campobello by Dore Schary. Chronicling Roosevelt’s struggle to survive in politics after being paralyzed by polio, the play garnered four Tony Awards and was made into an Oscar-nominated film. Asner’s solo performance, based on a further work by Schary, follows Roosevelt later in life as he reflects on his years as president.
Inaugurated during the depths of the Great Depression, “FDR” went on to lead the nation through World War II. The only president elected to more than two terms in office, he died in April 1945, early in his fourth term, a month before the Allies’ victory on the European front and four months before victory in the Pacific. A member since 2003 of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame and a 2001 recipient of the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award, Asner has won seven Emmy Awards and five Golden Globe Awards for his television roles. He created the famous Lou Grant character for the 1970s CBS comedy The Mary Tyler Moore Show and its dramatic spinoff, Lou Grant, and has compiled extensive credits in a decades-long film and stage career. General-admission tickets for FDR at Cayuga Community College will
be available for $15 each by advance sale only.

Orientation Express Fulton and Auburn Campuses 2010
by Crystal Wolfe, Editor-in-chief “The word for this semester is unity,” Kirk Bennett, Auburn SGO President declared during orientation. “I think it’s time students and faculty of both campuses start working together.” This semester the Orientation Express included leaders from students of both the Fulton and Auburn campuses who were trained on how to make the new students transition into college more smooth. Students went to four sessions where presentations were given on financial aid information, how to choose the right classes for your degree, MyCayuga, the latest software for
the college website, and the basics of college life and what you should expect out of Cayuga Community College. Lunch included Dinosaur Barbeque for the Fulton campus and the Auburn Campus hosted “ThinkFast,” a trivia game about general topics like music and movies where the most points were awarded to the students who gave the correct answer the fastest. During lunch at both campuses the clubs held tables where information for their events were given. For example, the drama club at Fulton might have a karaoke night, the
literary club at Fulton has book clubs and the literary club in Auburn publishes a literary magazine every semester. Tours were given of the campuses
