Alpha Sigma Phi’s first-ever Super Smash Tourney a hit
Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity hosted their first-ever Super Smash Brothers Tournament this past spring, raising more than $115 for Home for the Troops. The veteran charity was an easy choice for ASP as five brothers are actively involved in the military — Brian Agnew, Gabe Velazquez, Jack Fenton, Jon Molloy, and Victor Padilla.
Some of these brothers involved in the military have connections with other military personal officially, which makes this philanthropy more important for them, according to Dakota Roberts, ASP vice president.
Cash prizes were given to the top three tournament winners. ASP plans to host another Super Smash Tourney next school year, possibly once a semester to continue raising awareness and more money for the troops.

First responder service to now count for general education
Bloomsburg University will now recognize students who serve their communities as a first responder by enabling them to count their service toward their general education requirements. Students who are first responders, such as volunteer firefighters, EMTs, or fire police, can register for a co-curricular learning course that counts toward BU’s citizenship general education requirement.
Coinciding with National EMS Week, May 20-26, BU’s new “First Responder” course was approved May 21. While counting towards general education requirements, the course has zero academic credits, so the student-first responder does not have to pay tuition or fees.
The only additional requirements of the course are for students to log their service hours and give an educational talk or presentation about their experience, according to Toni Trumbo-Bell, professor of chemistry and biochemistry who created the course proposal. Each semester of the course, which can be repeated, counts for one of two required “citizenship” general education points.
BU has roughly 15 students who volunteer with the Bloomsburg Fire Department, according to Scott McBride, Bloomsburg Fire Department chief who is also BU’s Fire and Safety Coordinator.
Campus rallies for holiday card campaign
A simple Facebook connection has led to an inspiring holiday card campaign at Bloomsburg University to lift up the spirits of a 3-year-old girl battling leukemia at Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital in Danville.
Eliza Parson was simply sharing her appreciation on Facebook for the success of her toy drive last month for Matthew’s Wish that collected nearly 400 toys. The video resonated with one of Parson’s friends, who happens to be a family friend of Talynn.
“She told me how Talynn was having a really hard time in the hospital right now, especially since it’s around the holidays,” said Parson, a junior social work major. “I went to the store the next day and bought a ton of construction paper, markers, and stickers to make cards for her. I picked up some gifts as well and wrapped them, so she would have something to open (for Christmas).”
Parson’s campaign didn’t end there. She quickly recruited friends and classmates to join the cause.
“Bloomsburg University students were amazing during my toy drive and contributed tremendously, so I knew many would be willing to help put a smile on Talynn’s face by making a card,” Parson said, “I chose card making, because I knew money is tight for college students and most are gearing up for finals right now. I asked (Talynn’s) mom if cards would cheer her up, and she said she would love that.”
According to Parson, she will be soon delivering the first round of cards to Talynn and is prepared to make a second trip if more cards are made. Talynn loves horses, and her favorite colors are pink, blue and purple, Parson added.
Contact Parson at [email protected] for more information, including setting up an opportunity to get supplies and pick up cards.
silvia petronici. arte pubblica e pratiche artistiche site specific
Arte Bonifica Campagna mirando a generare un itinerario tracciato con l’arte contemporanea nel paesaggio di bonifica della Venezia Orientale impiega un determinato metodo per giungere alla produzione delle opere d’arte che consentono la creazione dell’itinerario.
Il mio lavoro nell’ambito dell’arte pubblica passa attraverso l’elaborazione di questo metodo di ricerca che si fonda sulla pratica artistica site and audience specific. Le opere emergono dall’incontro degli artisti con i luoghi, le persone e le circostanze che li caratterizzano e li animano. Tale incontro si è reso possibile grazie al tempo che ad esso è stato dedicato nel corso di due residenze artistiche, una di ricerca e una di produzione, svolte a diretto contatto con le aziende coinvolte nel progetto.
Il modello di pratica artistica site and audience specific a cui mi riferisco è stato messo a punto negli anni con il ciclo di residenze senseOFcommunity. lo spirito comunitario dell’arte nella società 2.0 dedicato alla ricerca su questo approccio alla pratica artistica nell’ambito dell’arte pubblica, delle pratiche di partecipazione e dei progetti di matrice socially engaged.
A partire dalla considerazione del valore sociale dell’arte e della sua capacità di alimentare lo spirito di condivisione, di scoperta e di comunità, questa formula di lavoro collettivo permette ad artisti e curatori di operare nelle sedi che li ospitano sollevando in esse il coinvolgimento delle persone e delle comunità con criteri rigorosi di ricerca e studio site specific.
Questo metodo punta l’attenzione sul tema della relazione, lavora sull’arte pubblica come mezzo di rigenerazione e privilegia l’approccio partecipativo.
Il titolo stesso del progetto complessivo, “sense OF community”, ha la funzione di dichiarare l’interesse per una riflessione sulla dimensione comunitaria dell’arte, sulla sua capacità di riattivare e rivitalizzare connessioni perdute tra le persone e tra le comunità e il loro territorio. Ciò che, a mio parere, esprime al massimo grado il potenziale simbolico dell’arte pubblica.
Le quattro aziende agricole coinvolte hanno ospitato per circa due settimane il lavoro di ricerca e produzione degli artisti.
Il lavoro degli artisti nella prima residenza è passato da una iniziale fase di incontro e ascolto che ha coinvolto tutti i proprietari delle aziende e coloro che vi lavorano, alle successive fasi di ideazione delle prime ipotesi, fino alla formalizzazione finale degli interventi. Nel tempo tra la prima residenza di ricerca e la seconda di produzione, i progetti artistici sono stati sottoposti ad un percorso di analisi che ne ha considerato l’adeguatezza ai parametri del progetto complessivo, l’accoglienza da parte dei proprietari delle aziende e, infine, la materiale fattibilità in anticipo sulla fase produttiva. In questa, dunque, con la collaborazione delle aziende stesse, le opere sono state installate in situ e consegnate.
Le opere sono qui presentate nella sequenza che inizia dall’opera permanente, segue con l’opera, o le opere, temporanea/e e si conclude con l’opera progetto. Opere, queste ultime, formalizzate fin nei minimi dettagli produttivi e consegnate come “render”, cioè come progetti non ancora materialmente prodotti.
(Nei testi che seguono la tipologia delle opere è segnalata dalla presenza dell’iniziale P per le opere permanenti, T per le opere temporanee e R per le opere render)

Huskies Give Back to Community
By Mary Raskob
BLOOMSBURG – Members of the Bloomsburg University men’s basketball team don’t know yet if there will be an opportunity to play this coming season due to COVID-19, but that did not stop the team from giving back to the community this month.
The Huskies spent parts of two days in October helping at the Berwick Area YMCA Local Food Distribution handing out boxes of food to 800 families in need.
BU head men’s basketball coach John Sanow could not say no when asked if the team could assist.
“Matt Beagle, who works for First Columbia Bank and Trust, has been a friend to our program for years,” said Sanow. “He asked if the team could help the Berwick YMCA and their youth education director Mark Reigel distribute food to the local community, and I immediately volunteered our services.”
“It was a great opportunity for our players and coaches to give back to the community,” Sanow added. “I was proud of players sacrificing a few hours out of their day to help others in need. We have a wonderful group of young men who represent Bloomsburg University in a positive way on and off the court.”
Coach Sanow, assistant coach Mike Hamlin, and student assistant coach Eric Rigg worked alongside graduate student Peyton Mortellite, junior Will Melson, junior Travis Elmore, senior Max Wagner, junior Devon Ferrero, senior Maqi Watson, and freshman Cam Villarouel, putting together boxes of food, including milk and other dairy products, refrigerated meats, and necessary pantry items to be given out to families. The team also helped to hand out the boxes to those families that came to the distribution event.
“Our players, along with dozens of other volunteers, did a great job unloading and distributing boxes of food and milk from a refrigerated truck,” continued Sanow. “The need was unbelievable, with hundreds of cars coming through to pick up food that day.”
Mortellite has been one of the Huskies helping with the distribution event. “The people at the Y are incredibly giving and never look for anything in return. They did a great job during the distribution on Monday,” remarked Mortellite. “It has been an excellent way for our team to give back to the community. We have been making it a habit to reach back into the community over the last few years.
“We were all communicating with each other and coaches. It helps us out on the court with being able to communicate as well.”
No matter whether or not the Huskies get to play this season, the team had a big win helping those in need.
