AIMS Video Services, now located in the Photo Center at 280 Hicks Way, is hosting an open house for all faculty and staff on Wednesday, April 16 from 2-5 p.m. AIMS is encouraging customers old and new to visit the new location and learn more about its video based services, including on-location digital videography, duplication and related services; the UMATV television studio (one of the first fully digital facilities to open in New England); video conferencing classroom DL-1 and the distribution of educational video programming. AIMS Video Services productions include “Poets of New England,” “Nutrition for a Healthy Lifestyle” and a significant portion of the highly successful “Under Quabbin” which all aired on WGBY Channel 57, the Springfield PBS affiliate. AIMS also produced videos for Commonwealth College, the Center For Teaching and Physical Plant, as well as Davis and Pew Foundation grants among others. “We would love to talk to principle investigators about using the power of an Stan Sherer photo AIMS produced video program to portray Over there their grant funded project results or As the war in Iraq continues, yellow ribbons have begun appearing around campus to wish American service process,” says director John W.

The event was attended by more than 100 people, including Chancellor John Lombardi. The police cadet program was started by Police Chief Barbara O’Connor as an initiative to en- hance campus safety. She ex- pressed hope that the program would have a lasting effect on the department. “Where as some police chiefs change the uniform colors to im- prove their police departments, we’ve set lofty goals. I hope the cadet program sustains itself,” O’Connor said. “I am proud of you for the work you’ve had to go through to get here and my door is always open to you. You are a valuable asset to the depart- ment now.” Stan Sherer photo Addressing the cadets Doing the waves O’Connor stressed the impor- tance of finishing their college Lecturer Heath Hatch tests a shive machine in the Physics lecture preparation room.
