Please join the Geography and Planning Department for its annual fall tradition, the Fall Equinox Pumpkin Drop, on Thursday, September 21, between 1:00 and 1:30 p.m. on the south side of the Classroom Building (between the Classroom and Technology Buildings). We will drop a pumpkin from the roof of the Classroom Building to celebrate the fall equinox—the seasonal shift from summer to fall.

Sign the pumpkin before the drop (it brings good luck) and enjoy free cider and cookies.

This event is organized by Informed Students Addressing Climate Change (ISACC) and the Geography and Planning Department and supported by the Arthur W. Gielow Meteorology Fund.

Cultural Caf is a monthly event that brings together members of the Buffalo State community over conversation, culture, and coffee. Meet new people and find common ground with other internationally minded members of the community in a casual, relaxed atmosphere.

A newly updated format this fall allows a dedicated time for student speakers to host cultural presentations and discussions. Free coffee, tea, and light refreshments will be served. All are welcome!

Cultural Caf meets monthly on the second Friday from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. in the Global Lounge.

Fall 2017 dates:

• September 15

Cultural Caf is a partnership between the International Students Organization, the International Student Advisory Council, Equity and Campus Diversity, and Butler Library.

*Based on input from last year's inaugural Cultural Caf, the former International Students Reading Area has been renamed the Global Lounge.

Benefits of the “At-Work” Program:

Flexibility – When you sign up for the Monthly Pass, you’ll get access to weekly At-Work meetings; unlimited local meetings; and eTools, the Internet weight-loss companion.

Convenience – Weight Watchers brings the meetings right to campus, so even the busiest person can still attend.

Daily motivation – Since a majority of our week is most likely spent at work or school, attending Weight Watchers on campus creates a great network for ongoing support and motivation.

Fee – Participants must register for a Monthly Pass, costing $44.95 a month, payable by credit card, debit card, or PayPal.
