Nine
Inspired by Federico Fellini’s semi-autobiographical film 8½, Nine follows the story of celebrated film director Guido Contini, set in glamorous 1960s Italy. Portrayed through a bewitching score by Maury Yeston (Titanic), Guido’s midlife crisis blocks his creative impulse and entangles him in a web of romances. Nine received the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1982 and the Tony for Best Revival in 2003. Directed by Gregg Wiggins with choreography by Carissa Bellando ’04 and music direction by Dr. Lauri Young.

Do you know your rights?
The Black Student Union and the Black and Latino Male Initiative are excited to invite you to hear Keith Lamont Stith, Wagner College alum and Deputy Chief of the Criminal Investigations Division in the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office, who will present an interactive workshop entitled, "Do You Know Your Rights? What To Do If You Are Stopped By The Police." The workshop is designed to provide young men of color tips on how to navigate interactions when they are confronted by the police. Building on his years of experience in law enforcement, Chief Stith will educate participants on their rights as citizens and will give them tools to get home safely. While the workshop will be geared towards men of color, it is open to all students, faculty and staff. Light refreshments will be provided. If you have any questions, contact Kemani Howard.

Nursing Mothers in Ancient Italy, Archaeology Society of Staten Island Lecture
The image of the woman and child is so familiar to us in Western art from representations of the Virgin Mary with the Christ child that we tend to take for granted its interpretation as a universal symbol of maternity, and of the close physical and emotional bond between mother and child. But the motif was not universal. In antiquity images of nursing mothers were absent in classical art in Athens and elsewhere in mainland Greece, while they were abundant in Italy, in the Etruscan cities, as well as the Greek cities of Magna Graecia and Sicily. The lecture will consider possible reasons for this situation.
