Dance Draws Faculty From Local Dance Groups THE DEAN'S LIST continued from page 1 Dean Fred Lukermann I need not tell you that this has been a winter of discontent. Recent events have provided the governor and the state legislature with an easy excuse to cut back the University's programmatic budget request for 1988-89. At the same time, the University's Board of Regents seems either unable or reluctant to press forward on long range plans for improving the relative position of the University among the nation's foremost public graduate and research institutions. As one could predict, media voyeurs are having a field day picking at the bones of personalities in both arenas rather than showing any concern for the future of the institution. Meanwhile, collegiate faculties find themselves caught In the middle, powerless to influence either the politicians' or the trustees' personal agendas for control of the direction of higher education in the state, while students and parents, as usual, pay the going rates for an education that promises much but can't deliver in the present statis created between planning and action. The University of Minnesota and the College of Uberal Arts have been on the move since 1979 upgrading Curriculum, recruiting quality students, enhancing faculty scholarship and soliciting greater community participation in bonding the institution to its constituency. Yet there is a growing perception that all of this is grinding to a halt, and surely it might, if present events cast a long shadow on the future. • We are in a fragile state as a college. We have begun and are well into a single admissions policy that will insure Minnesota college-bound students access to a University degree in concert with qualified community college students.

    Accessible Arts Calendar Summary 2019 Current Venues and Shows Updated 9-4-19 – The VSA Minnesota Accessible Arts Calendar lists arts events that proactively offer accessibility accommodations such as: ASL (American Sign Language Interpreting), AD (Audio Description), CC (Closed Captioning), OC (Open or Scripted Captioning), DIS (performers with disabilities), or SENS (Sensory-friendly accommodations) which are inclusive for children on the autism spectrum. The main Accessible Arts Calendar listings (emailed monthly through August 2019 and online at http://vsamn.org/community/calendar) offer descriptions of shows, authors, directors, describer & interpreter names, ticket prices, discounts, dates for Pay What You Can (PWYC), and more. This Current Venues and Shows list supplements the Accessible Arts Calendar. On our website as a Resource under Community (http://vsamn.org/community/resources-community/), it summarizes shows at arts venues across Minnesota: plays, concerts, exhibits, films, storytelling, etc. It’s limited to what we learn about and have time to include. The venues are organized alphabetically by Twin Cities venues and then by Greater Minnesota venues. They may offer accessible performances proactively or upon request. Words in GREEN identify some accessibility accommodations. We assume all auditoriums and bathrooms are wheelchair-accessible and theatres with fixed seating have assistive listening devices, unless noted otherwise. Both calendars will be discontinued after September 2019 when VSA Minnesota ceases operation.

  • Lou Bellamy 2006 Distinguished Artist
    Lou Bellamy 2006 Distinguished Artist Lou Bellamy 2006 Distinguished Artist The McKnight Foundation Introduction spotlight is a funny thing. It holds great potential to expose and clarify whatever lies within its glowing circle—but for that to happen, eyes outside the pool of light must be focused Aon what’s unfolding within. Theater gains meaning only through the community that generates, participates in, and witnesses it. For McKnight Distinguished Artist Lou Bellamy and his Penumbra Theatre Company, using one’s talents to connect important messages to community is what art is all about. Bellamy believes that theater’s purpose is to focus the community’s attention and engage people in the issues we face together. He relishes the opportunity life has presented to him: to work in an African American neighborhood and develop art responsive to that neighborhood, while presenting ideas that are universal enough to encourage a world of diverse neighborhoods to take notice. This is not a spectator sport. Bellamy is a strong proponent of active art, art driven to do something. Ideally, audience members should see what’s onstage and listen to the message, then carry that message with them when they leave the theater. “You put all these people in a room,” he has said, “turn out the lights, and make them all look at one thing. You’ve got something powerful in that room.” More than 40,000 people experience that power annually, in Penumbra’s 265-seat theater in St. Paul. Universal messages are not crafted through European American templates only, and Bellamy recognizes that presenting a multifaceted reality means showing all the rays of light that pass through it.

  • 96Th Annual Meeting American Society of Mammalogists
    96TH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MAMMALOGISTS 24-28 JUNE 2016 UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA -MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA- PROGRAM The 2016 American Society of Mammalogists Annual Meeting logo features a Canada lynx, a Minnesota native mammal. The transition in the depiction of the lynx represents different but related fields of study in mammalogy, from morphology to behavior. The Stone Arch Bridge, a Minneapolis landmark, and the maroon and gold coloring nod to the conference location at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. The logo was designed by Carmen Martin, a Minnesota-based artist who practices scientific illustration, observational drawing, sculpture, and graphic design. 96TH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MAMMALOGISTS 24-28 JUNE 2016 UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA -MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA- AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MAMMALOGISTS (ASM) The American Society of Mammalogists (ASM) was established in 1919 for the purpose of promoting interest in the study of mammals. AN OVERVIEW In addition to being among the most charismatic of animals, mammals are important in many disciplines from paleontology to ecology and evolution. We, of course, are mammals and thus are in the interesting position of studying ourselves in quest of a greater understanding of the role of mammals in the natural world. The ASM is currently composed of thousands of members, many of who are professional scientists. Members of the Society have always had a strong interest in the public good, and this is reflected in their involvement in providing information for public policy, resources management, conservation, and education. The Society hosts annual meetings and maintains several publications. The flagship publication is the Journal of Mammalogy, a journal produced 6 times per year that accepts submissions on all aspects of mammalogy.
