Nocella, II of the criminology department at Le Moyne College) organize at Hillbrook Youth Detention Facility every Sunday afternoon. The work consists of group building, team work, leadership, and empowerment workshops with three to four units at Hillbrook each week. The volunteer idea came out of a 221 Criminology course that Nocella taught. Most of the students, even after the class had finished, kept coming together on Sundays and, in the case of Carapella, she brought some of her friends from her neighborhood. Some of the activities at Hillbrook include working with beach balls, the human knot, in which participants have to figure out how to untangle themselves from a knot made with their arms. At the end of every Sunday workshop, donuts, donated by Dunkin' Donuts, are given out to all of the residents. On Thursday, August 21, 2008, The Post Standard’s edition of Neighbors: City of Syracuse, published a front page article on Professor Nocella’s volunteer group at Hillbrook called “Fun Breaks Boundaries: Lessons in Sociable Therapy.” Activities conducted with the residents, along with quotes from the volunteers, as well as general procedures were documented in the article. If you would like to get real live experience that will help you with your career in the future and will like to get involved, please feel free to contact: Anthony J. Nocella, II (nocellaj@lemoyne.edu) or any of the students involved. For those who have Facebook, please search and join the group “Outdoor Empowerment” to view more information on this volunteer group as well as to see the article. http://echo.lemoyne.edu/NewsFlash/displaypage.asp?NewsNo=3558Fri, 12 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMTDonald Maldari, S.J., associate professor in the religious studies department, presented a paper, “Christian Ministry without the Distinction of Clergy and Laity,” at the annual convention of the College Theology Society at Salve Regina University. http://echo.lemoyne.edu/NewsFlash/displaypage.asp?NewsNo=3559Fri, 12 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMTFrom Sept. 5 -7 at Clemson University, Jeremy Bendik-Keymer, new assistant professor of philosophy, will facilitate and present at the international conference he co-organized, Human Flourishing and Restoration in the Age of Global Warming.

Bybee, director of the Institute for the Study of the Judiciary, Politics and the Media, Syracuse University Margaret Susan Thompson, associate professor of history, Syracuse University When voters elect the next president of the United States, they will be selecting the person likely to nominate the next several justices to the Supreme Court, since five of the current justices are at least 70 years old. The Supreme Court has had a profound impact on the lives of most of today's voters, deciding cases on monumental issues from desegregation and voter rights to the death penalty and eminent domain. What does history tell us about presidents and their Supreme Court appointments? How can voters assess how a candidate is likely to approach that task? http://echo.lemoyne.edu/NewsFlash/displaypage.asp?NewsNo=3467Mon, 29 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMTMonday, Oct. 6, 7 p.m. Grewen Auditorium Join experts from Le Moyne and Syracuse University as they discuss various aspects of the historic 2008 presidential election, including the electoral process and the media’s influence on it, the president’s capacity to shape the Supreme Court and the chief executive’s ability to impact the economy.

Wayne Grove, associate professor of economics, Le Moyne College Danny Hayes, assistant professor of political science, Syracuse University High energy and food prices, stagnant wages and job losses, mortgage foreclosures, troubled stock markets -- all are certainly hot button issues in this year's election. If it's true that Americans vote according to their pocketbooks ("It's the economy, stupid!"), then voters should be closely studying the economic policy plans of the candidates. But how much influence will the president actually have in changing the course of the economy and creating confidence and stability in the marketplace? What role is the economy playing in the campaign, and how should voters evaluate the candidates' platforms and promises? http://echo.lemoyne.edu/NewsFlash/displaypage.asp?NewsNo=3468Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMTTuesday, Oct. 21, 7:30 p.m. James Commons, Curtin Special Events Room How Much Does the Public Really Need to Know?

How do voters filter political information, evaluate the candidates and assess their stands on the issues?

The response to an account of the study that was published in 1999 has shown that the issues resonate with women throughout the academic world.

Molly Potter is a cognitive scientist who did her undergraduate work in psychology at Swarthmore College and earned a doctorate from Harvard in 1961. She came to MIT as a lecturer in 1967 and is now a professor in the department of brain and cognitive sciences.
