Kittens
will once again take up residence in the Margaret L. Wendt Animal Behavior lab
in Science Hall from Monday, March 25 – Monday, April 15 and from Monday, April
22 – Thursday, May 2. The campus community is invited to view training
and enrichment sessions.
Miranda
K. Workman’s ABEC 220: Animal Learning class, in cooperation with the SPCA
Serving Erie County, will welcome five kittens for enrichment and training.
The
sessions include teaching the kittens to walk into a carrier on their own and
completing a small agility course, which makes them attractive adoption
candidates and encourages positive relationships with humans that will help
kittens transition to their new families. Stress and anxiety attached to
catching and putting cats in a carrier are major reasons why cats are seen less
often by veterinarians.
For
these kittens, there will be no stress or anxiety, as they will choose to enter
the carrier by themselves.
The
kittens will be on campus until Thursday, May 2, and will then be available for
adoption. The days and times for enrichment are:

Last spring, the college conducted a campus climate survey with a focus on race. Over the fall semester, a group of dedicated faculty, staff and students worked to collate and analyze the responses.
On Friday, March 29, members of this committee along with Margaret McCarthy, vice president for Academic Affairs, will present the results of the survey to administrators and staff from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. in the Regis Room. Our desire is that every one of our students feels welcome here and experiences an atmosphere of respect and encouragement. All are welcome to attend!
