You are cordially invited to attend a free showing of “Slumdog Millionaire,” which will be shown in Bulger Communication Center South on Friday, February 25, 2011 starting at 7:00 p.m. This film is brought to you through the Buffalo State Arts and Diversity Cinema Club. Ms. Yousra Ido from Syria, will introduce Mr. Shouvik Ray, Senior Executive at HSBC, who will present the film which will be followed by questions and answers. The Buffalo State Office of Equity and Campus Diversity is a contributing sponsor. Refreshments will be provided by the Collegiate Village student apartments.

The campus will soon be moving to Windows 7 for most PC users. Ingenuix (web template system) does not work with Win 7. The work around is to use the Windows Terminal Server (WTS) to access web templates. One advantage of using the WTS is that now, Mac users can also edit their templates.

Two workshops have been set up to train Ingenuix users - there will be others in the near future.

Check the registration page -

Admission: adults, $15; children 12 and under, $10; under 2, free.

Reservations are available by calling ext. 6011 during gallery hours, in person at the Burchfield Penney, or online.
