By Jared smith NEWS EDITOR

The 2013-14 academic year is the first year that the University will examine experiential learn- ing in an effort to potentially expand the program in the near future. The effort to expand expe- riential learning to additional departments will be directed by Assistant Dean of Students Glenn Cerosaletti, political science lecturer Stu Jordan, and KEY Scholar Elizabeth Reidman. Experiential learning can mean different things for different majors, Jordan said. “In biomedical engineering work, we give students the op- ALYSSA ARRE / photo editor portunity to solve real problems that are presented to us from physics society hosts 'Spooky science day' for rochester kids customers, either from the Members of UR’s Society of Physics Students conducted science experiments for Rochester elementary schoolers last Saturday in Hoyt Auditorium.

When librarians realized the apprehension students had of the stacks inside Rush Rhees Library, they played right along. The result: Scare Fair. But despite its name, the fair is designed to make the stacks seem less scary, not more, all while chan- neling the spirit of Halloween. “Scare Fair is a way to celebrate the community,” library assistant Katie Kulmer said. The annual event, existing a little over a decade, will be held Thursday from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. on the first floor of Rush Rhees near the circulation desk. There, students may participate in a Stack Stalk — a scavenger hunt that will offer the opportunity to explore the stacks and meet the library staff.
