Goddard Arts Guild (GAG)
Goddard is home to a wealth of artists. Our halls – often grooving to the beats of our myriad musicians – are full of talented painters, dancers, actors and writers. Many of these artists are already pursuing their interests through classes and involvement in our incredible streams, such as At The World’s A Stage (ATWAS) or Writing New York (WNY). The student-led Goddard Arts Guild (GAG) would serve to indentify, unite and network our artists, primarily to discuss issues related to the arts community in Goddard and cultivate the aforementioned arts community.
Jarett will hold the first meeting - to discuss goals, organization, and opportunities for leadership – this Thursday, October 2 @ 7:30pm in the Classroom (Rm. 203). If you’re interested in joining this informal group and/or opportunities for leadership, please come out!
*Ideas/issues for the Guild could include: lounge decoration/hall beautification, group outings, musician rehearsal space, supplies for artists, a Goddard (bi-)monthly literary newsletter.
Goddard Green Initiative (GGI)
We are living in a time where - spurred on by fossil fuel dependence, global warming and the industrialization of China & India - environmental issues have become increasingly significant. New York University (NYU) itself has developed its own sustainability plan of action to address its environmental impact. The student-led Goddard Green Initiative (GGI) would serve to identify, unite and mobilize Goddard’s “green” leaders to discuss and address Goddard’s environmental impact and how we can contribute to and take the lead on ecological issues in the residence hall community.
Jarett will hold the first meeting – to discuss goals, organization, and opportunities for leadership – this Thursday, October 2 @ 9:30pm in the Basement/Game Room. If you’re interested in hearing more about GGI and want to join the cause and/or become a leader, please come out!
*Ideas/issues for GGI could include: measuring Starbucks plastic cup waste in a visible manner, bottled water boycott, stair-only floors or hours, stair-climbing health facts, eco-grants for physical improvements to Goddard, pushing for eco-friendly products in NYU shops (i.e. shampoo)
Also, Jarett will divulge his research on whether or not Hayden Dining Hall is “green”.
Join RAs Jarett & Matt as they lead a group of Goddardites - and anyone that wants to come - to Governor's Island. It's only open to the public on the weekends, when there is a free ferry. We'll meet in the lobby bright and early @ 9am (I know it's a sacrifice, but it'll be worth it!) so we can make sure we're on the first ferry to the island. Once we get to the island you can rent kites and bikes for free, check out the Waterfall, see the artist's wall, etc. Jarett will bring my bike with a football, soccer ball, and frisbee for anyone interested!
Join us for a screening of Blood and Oil, a new documentary based on the critically-acclaimed work of Nation magazine defense correspondent Michael T. Klare. The film unearths declassified documents and highlights forgotten passages in prominent presidential doctrines to show how concerns about oil have been at the core of American foreign policy for more than 60 years – rendering our contemporary energy and military policies virtually indistinguishable. In the end, Blood and Oil calls for a radical re-thinking of US energy policy, warning that unless we change direction, we stand to be drawn into one oil war after another as the global hunt for diminishing world petroleum supplies accelerates.
When: 9/29/2008 7:00pm-9:00pm
