Invasion of Privacy: Finding a creative community with Kat Johnson and Jenna Murray
It is rare to find a student on a college campus willing to wake up excited to contribute something to the day, the world, or a literary community; it is rarer still to find a student who will answer questions about their college experience for a student-run newspaper first thing in the morning. Nevertheless, I was able to speak to two such individuals just earlier today: English creative writing majors and seniors Kat Johnson and Jenna Murray. I met with Johnson and Murray this morning amidst the early antics of Suki, Murray’s cat, and chuckles of Johnson and Murray’s respective caffeine addictions over their first cups of coffee.
Invasion of Privacy: Nate Bedell and the power of writing
I don’t think it crossed Nate Bedell’s mind when he came to The Lamron’s general meeting last Thursday that he would leave being voted our next Invasion of Privacy guest. Either way, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Nate about his on and off campus life, the importance of his writing, and an in-depth retrospective of one soon to graduate.
Invasion of Privacy: Professor Lytton Smith
“The answer is the students,” Professor Lytton Smith said when asked what he’s most proud of about the Geneseo Creative Writing department. “The ambition and the variety and the adventurousness of the students. And students is the wrong word, because you’re all writers. But you have to put in there that I’m inspired by it, although it’s not mine to be proud of, although I kind of am—does that make sense?”
Invasion of Privacy: Emi Kanemoto
As famous Socrates once said, “The only thing I know is that I know nothing.” Emi Kanemoto stated that she encourages the students of SUNY Geneseo to adopt a similar mindset—to keep learning, reflecting and exploring yourself and your community. Kanemoto is a professor in the Department of Communication and is a Director of the LIVES program on campus.
Invasion of Privacy: Sarah Sharples
“Actually, I water my plants first,” said editor-in-chief of The Lamron Sarah Sharples when asked about the first thing they do in the morning. “Then I brush my teeth, then I meditate. This is why I get the least relatable character on a Buzzfeed quiz.”
Invasion of Privacy: An appreciative tribute and farewell to Nick Widman
Here at The Lamron, we’ve recently suffered a great loss—the graduation of our beloved Nick Widman, English major, class of ‘21, and former editor-in-chief. Over the past three years, Widman has made an impact on our paper that will not soon be forgotten.
Invasion of Privacy: A glimpse into a new type of education with Dr. Gillian Paku
It is almost guaranteed that every student has heard something like the following: “Well, I don’t like giving grades, but I have to.”
While this idea may be distributed by countless professors every year, it is rare that a student will hear a statement along the lines of: “There’s something wrong with the way we view grading, and here is how we can start to fix it.”
Invasion of Privacy: Your bunnies away from home
For many Geneseo students, the time spent away from home can leave them missing their pets. Being away from the comfort of a familiar furry friend can be distressing; however, two adorable rascally rabbits have provided comfort not just to their owners, but to all Geneseo students that have the pleasure of meeting them.
