The Writing Learning Center is open!
Writing is an essential part of academic life no matter what discipline you find yourself studying. Math projects, business essays, history papers, even science research and psychology studies need a second pair of eyes to look over assignments before a final submission. You could (and should) have a willing friend read it over, but why not a trained tutor as well? That’s where the Writing Learning Center comes in.
Club Spotlight: Recess Magazine’s footprint on Geneseo’s creative community
For years, Geneseo’s literary community has been regulated by general writing groups and magazines—Creative Writing Club, Gandy Dancer, and MiNT Magazine are each championed as organizations that welcome writers of all kinds, from all different experience levels. This accessibility is important; however, it is crucial, too, for students who may not feel well-represented in the Geneseo student body to have a haven to express and explore their identities as well. Recess Magazine, a platform that aims to provide, as Genesis Flores, a sophomore English literature major and editor-in-chief of Recess described, “an overarching safe space for every BIPOC student on campus,” aims to do exactly that.

Invasion of Privacy: Torianna Robleto and connecting in the classroom

Invasion of Privacy: Wes Kennison
Humanities is currently a general education requirement that brings about much controversy among students. Many students complain about the “archaic” readings, the “boring professors,” and the lack of diversity, and perhaps there are some faculty who would agree with them (looking at you Doggett). However, Professor Wes Kennison has a deep passion for the humanities subject, so much so that he has been teaching humanities at Geneseo for about thirty-six years. A former student of Geneseo, Kennison cultivated his love of Thoreau and Thucydides into a wealth of knowledge that he adores spreading to students. However, it had been a long, adventurous road for Kennison between his first day of freshman year and today.

Invasion of Privacy: The past, present, and future of INTD 105 with Professor D’Angelo
In terms of general education requirements for SUNY Geneseo students, few courses have the same reputation and general hesitancy as INTD 105: the writing seminar. Often taken in the first year of one’s time at Geneseo, there are numerous different sections, topics, and styles that cover the same basic principles about how writing is thought about at the collegiate level, generally in vast contrast to the high school level. Professor Lisa D’Angelo, instructor for “The Modern Age in America” sections of INTD 105, not only acknowledges the uncertainty that many students feel as they transition into their college life, but incorporates it into her curriculum as a way of not only helping grow the writer, but the person as well.
Pathways Peer Advocacy looking for students to become advocates
It’s getting to be that time in the semester where things are at their toughest: projects are due, tests are happening, and all the while the end of the semester is ominously approaching (which for me, a graduating senior, means that I have to figure out what exactly it is I want to do with my life). And this is not even to mention managing school along with work, friends, and self-care—and you know what? Sometimes it just feels like a lot, because it is a lot. And trust me, it really sucks crying in the Union bathroom when no one is answering your calls or texts and all the things are happening at once.
