Shortly after 5:00 on Wednesday, 4/10, a phishing email message was sent to numerous IC email accounts, purportedly from an IC student, with the subject “Dog sitter needed.” The message asked recipients to respond to a Gmail address if interested in a job which would supposedly pay a significant amount of money for dog sitting. IT quickly blocked communication between the IC email system and the phishing Gmail address, and identified and notified the people who may have responded to the message.

Cory Brown's new book of poems, Elisions, is his second from Cayuga Lake Books. About this volume, poet Sharon Dolin writes:

Modesty becomes a bravura performance in Cory Brown’s fourth book. From its title poem, Brown deftly sculpts his lines into almost imperceptible haiku stanzas, as the double meaning of “elision” as “absence” and “overlap” plays out over the course of the book. These poems bring to mind the folksy, meditative wisdom of an Ammons poem, where the natural world enters as lived experience and teacher. The haiku form is so malleable in Brown’s hands that he is capable of grappling with subjects as large as the meaning of life, time, death, even beauty and melancholia, as well as shaping it into more personal narratives. Elisions is a beautiful book in its depth and quiet majesty.

Dr. Howard K. Kalman, associate professor, Department of Strategic Communication has co-authored “Designing Effective Instruction” (8th ed.), a widely used graduate-level instructional design textbook.

The text includes an application example that is developed throughout the book using “think-aloud” commentary, which provides insight into the designer’s reasoning concerning instructional design decisions. The commentary helps novice designers avoid common errors. The text covers identifying instructional needs, writing objectives, designing instruction, evaluating program effectiveness, and managing and implementing instructional projects.

From 12:00 to 2:00 pm on Thursday, April 11th stop by the Popular Periodicals shelf (IC Library Gannett Center) and try our button maker.
