Closer Look Lecture Series --
Sam
Abell, Photography
Canon
Explorers of Light
On Tuesday, October 13 at 7:30 p.m. located in the
North Campus auditorium, Sam Abell will present in the Closer Look
Lecture Series.
Abell is an American
photographer whose thirty-year career has
been dedicated to achieving artistic expression through documentary
photography. He has pursued his goals primarily through his lengthy,
in-depth coverage for National Geographic magazine and its Book
Division. At the same time, he has maintained a career as an artist,
teacher, and author.
Abell’s work is known for its
transcendent qualities, starting at the documentary level yet open to
interpretation on an aesthetic level. The raw material of Abell's
photography comes from close contact with the world, especially austere,
remote regions. To affirm and, in fact, emphasize his commitment to what
actually exists, he has chosen to work in color and in a strict documentary
tradition. He has applied himself, particularly, to the photography of
cultural landscape: He explores ways in which places can be purely recorded,
with images simultaneously shaped by the photographer's imagination.
Originally from Sylvania, Ohio,
Abell graduated from the
University of Kentucky in Lexington, and received an honorary
Doctor of Letters degree from the University of Toledo on May 10, 2009. In
addition to his photography Mr. Abell is a member of the board of the
director of the Santa Fe Center For Photography, the George Eastman House,
and the University of Virginia Art Museum. In 2002 he collaborated with Leah
Bendavid-Val on a retrospective of his life and work titled Sam Abell: The
Photographic Life., published by Rizzoli. He is also the author of the book
Seeing Gardens, published in 2001.

“Classes without Quizzes”
This is the third year for this exciting option
during Homecoming on Friday, October 16 from 8 to 10 a.m. and 3:45 –
5 p.m. Some of the university’s talented faculty and staff will offer
alumni and their spouses the opportunity to explore a variety of
interesting topics. This is your chance to return to the classroom
without quizzes or tuition fees! Classes and supplies are at no cost. To
register for a class simply call Jessica Swinford at 260-399-7700 ext.
6411 or email
jswinford@sf.edu and specify the class you and/or your spouse are
interested in attending. Here is the list of faculty and staff and their
exciting topics:
8 – 10 a.m.
A. Insight into Wellness 101 (Tom
Jackson and Parkview Health Laboratories)
The syllabi will include
lectures on cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure (testing for
blood pressure will be available), glucose, establishing a low intensity
aerobic exercise program to monitor heart rate and calorie burning along
with the formula to follow for exercising. There will also be a Chem17
blood test, which for those who elect to do so (optional) requires a
10-12 hour fasting. This is a great opportunity for you to “reconnect”
with the “student” within you that hungers for the information and
knowledge based classroom setting. The price for the Chem17 test
(includes Lipid Profile, Cholesterol, and Glucose) is $17. (25 People
maximum)
3:45 – 5 p.m.
B. Digital Photos 101 - Take Better
Digital Pictures (Cara Wade)
So you're ready to take a
photo. Everything is set. Your subject is smiling and ready to go and
you could snap the shot at any moment. But wait…are you sure there's
nothing more you can do to improve this photo? Digital cameras are
easier to use than ever -- but less-than perfect pictures are still a
reality. If you've taken pictures that are fuzzy, under-lit,
overexposed, or just don't seem to look good, this workshop is for you.
We will cover some basic things to consider before you hit "Click." They
are easy to learn, and every photo you take will benefit from your
new-found expertise. Even a beginner can take professional-looking
photographs. (25 people maximum)
3:45 – 5 p.m.
C. “Hello…Please Leave Me a Message”
(Campus Ministry Director Jan Patterson)
Consider that "calling"
is a lifelong adventure. How do we make a life as opposed to just making
a living? What do you need in order to listen for the "call" when it
comes? Take a break to consider where your call might lead.
First Annual
Secondary Education-Language Arts Alumni Event
This first annual specific event for Secondary
Education-Language Arts alumni will take place from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. in

English in the high schools of the 21st century. Network with
alumni and other area high school English teachers, enjoy hors d’oeuvres
and soft drinks, and learn more about the ways that the
University of Saint Francis can continue to support you in the
classroom. After some food and fellowship, Dr. Ted Remington, Director
of Writing, will present “Dr. Strangefact, or How I Learned to Stop
Worrying and Love Wikipedia.” Please RSVP to Angie Springer at

University of Saint Francis to Perform
All Shook Up
|
 |
|
The School of Creative Arts presents All
Shook Up, on November 6,
7, 13, and 14 at 8:00 p.m. and November 8 and 15 at 2:00 p.m. in the North Campus
auditorium (2702 Spring Street). Tickets can be purchased at the door for $10.
Doors will open 30 minutes before show time for general seating.
All Shook Up is a
jukebox musical
featuring the music of the classic
rock star
Elvis Presley, with
a book by
Joe DiPietro. The
story is based on the plot of
William Shakespeare's
Twelfth Night. It
takes place in 1955, somewhere in middle America, where one girl's
dream and a surprise visit from a mysterious leather-jacketed,
guitar-playing stranger help a small town to discover the magic of
romance and the power of rock & roll. The loopy tale of mismatched
lovers in a Midwest burg incorporates classics that range from sweet
romantic ballads such as "Love Me Tender" to the rollicking "Devil
in Disguise" and the hip-swiveling title song.
A special "Meet the Cast" event will take place
on Sunday, November 8 immediately after the play until 5:30 p.m.
located in the North Campus' north foyer. Take this opportunity to talk with the
cast members and the director as well as Rick Cartwright, Dean of
the School of Creative Arts.

RSVP, please call the Alumni Office at 260-399-7700 ext. 6402 or email
