**ALL PARENTS, CAREGIVERS, AND PARENTS-TO-BE ARE WELCOME!**

Affinity groups are designed to be a safe place where both staff and faculty may speak on common interests and provide an opportunity to seek and support one another.

The Working Parents Affinity Group (WPAG) provides different perspectives on integrating work and our families as working professionals. This group is co-facilitated by two moms who work here on campus and who are interested in developing a resourceful place for other working parents to come together and share with one another based on ideas that YOU provide!!

Professor Carla Stetson's work was accepted into the 2011 Southern Tier Biennial Art Exhibit.  This juried show opens September 17th at 3 pm at the Olean Public Library and Jamestown Community College's Center Gallery in Olean, New York and runs through October 22. 

Deborah Rifkin, Asst. Professor Music Theory, has published an article about music pedagogy. Deborah Rifkin recently published, "A Revised Taxonomy for Music Learning" with co-author Philip Stoecker (Hofstra University) in The Journal of Music Theory Pedagogy. This article proposes an adapted learning taxonomy geared specifically for music classes. Using insights from recent advances in cognitive research and perception studies, our taxonomy caters to music learning by accommodating the time-sensitive nature of performed arts. The article introduces the taxonomy, explains its basis in cognitive research, and describes several applications of it in classroom exercises for
undergraduate music majors.

Calida Barboza has joined the library as Electronic Resources Librarian and Margaret "Maggie" Young is our new Acquisitions Invoicing Specialist.
