On Friday, March 29, the Institute for Classical and Medieval Studies (ICMS) will welcome Jeff Brubaker, PhD, associate professor of history at SUNY Geneseo, for a discussion entitled “The Forms of Unity: Medieval Attempts to Heal the Great Schism.” The event will take place at 3:30 p.m. in Grupp Fireside Lounge.
The Great Schism divided Christianity into the Latin West and Byzantine East during the medieval period and has been the subject of much historical and theological investigation. Instances of dialogue to end the Schism occur frequently in the later Middle Ages, but have been seen by historians as hopeless or doomed to fail in their goal to achieve Christian unity. Dr. Brubaker will call this narrative into question and suggest that both sides saw the advantage of restoring unity.
The event is free and open to the public. Attendees are invited to gather in Grupp Fireside Lounge in the Student Center for tea and refreshments prior to the talk at 3:00 p.m.

The campus community is invited to the Physics/Pre-engineering seminar this Friday, March 29 at 2:00 p.m. in Science Hall 1013A.
Have you ever wondered what the next step in flat panel displays will be? It might be using the panel as a speaker as well as a monitor. It’s not science fiction…it’s engineering.

Kittens have taken up residence in the Margaret L. Wendt Animal Behavior lab in Science Hall. The campus community is invited to view training and enrichment sessions through Monday, April 15 and from Monday, April 22 – Thursday, May 2.
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:
VIEWING SESSIONS (one hour each unless otherwise noted)
Mondays:
8:20 – 9:15 a.m.
