Secret Agents of the Underground Railroad

September 28, 2023
7:00 pm EDT - 9:00 pm EDT

In partnership with the Chemistry Department and the Center for Intercultural Learning and Inclusion, with funding from the Barbara J Stahl Fellow Grant, DIIF Grant and the Gregory J Grappone Humanities Institute, the Community Cinema Series highlights Diversity and Inclusion in Stem with this free screening.

Secret Agents of the Underground Railroad is a revealing scientific exploration of how a Niagara Falls hotel, The Cataract House, became the focal point for a 19th century North American Black Resistance movement. Host Anthony Morgan meets a team of archaeologists who are working to recover parts of the hotel's foundation. In doing so, they unearth stories about how the hotel's head waiter, John Morrison, and his seemingly innocuous wait staff covertly orchestrated Freedom Seekers' escapes to freedom. What’s true of every archaeological dig is that below the surface, there is always more than meets the eye; and the dig at the once-renowned Cataract House is no exception

Following the screening, an engaging panel Q&A, moderated by Professor Mary Kate Donais will feature key members of the documentary team.

Panel guests:

  • Saladin Allah, Director of Community Engagement at the Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Center
  • Dr. Douglas Perrelli, Director of Archaeological Survey, SUNY Buffalo

Student Research Spotlight: Evan Rushton

evan2

Last week, we sat down with Evan Rushton, '16 to discuss the research he has been working on with Psychology Professor Adam Wenzel. Evan presented his research at the New England Psychological Association (NEPA) Annual Meeting at Fitchburg State University on October 10th. 1. Could you briefly describe your research? We used a within-subjects design measuring for taste threshold and intensity. Before and after, subjects were given two taste modifiers, Miracle fruit, which turns sour tastes sweet, and Gymnema Sylvestre tea which suppressed sweet taste entirely. 2. What is your year of graduation and majors/minors? I am a senior psychology major with a minor in human relations and work. 3. How did you get involved with this research? Which professor are you working with?

In relation to this research, Professor Wenzel and I collaborated. At the end of the spring semester sophomore year, an email went out about a summer research position related to the INBRE grant. INBRE (i.e., Idea Network of Biomedical Research Excellence) is a program that funds research opportunities for undergraduate students to work on biomedical research. I talked to Professor Wenzel about doing something with taste because whenever I would talk to him after class he would always mention something from the class I took with him, Sensation and Perception, such as the miracle fruit. I thought that it was pretty interesting so I was glad to get on board with the project. 4. What is the most valuable tool you have gained from being involved in research? I think the most important thing gained from being involved in research is experience. Since I am looking to go into graduate school, it is helpful to have experience especially if you are looking to go into a research-oriented field. Also, it gave me the independence and ability to organize a research project. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t know how to go through the Institutional Review Board application and many other research procedures.

5. What advice would you give to incoming freshman about getting involved in research?

I would tell the freshman to definitely try to get a research position. Get as involved as early as possible with the department and develop a relationship with professors. Eventually you are going to need their help, and they are very helpful to say the least.

6. What are your plans after graduation?

After graduation, I would very much like to go into grad school, or get a job right out of college. I am interested in organizational psychology. If I go to grad school, I am interested in pursing a doctorate.

7. How do you think this experience will benefit your future goals?

In relation to the research that I did, even though it is not directly relatable to Industrial Organizational psychology, it gave me valuable tools in order to understand the research process.

Saint Anselm announces the addition of men’s and women’s track & field

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Saint Anselm College announced the addition of men's and women's track & field as varsity sport offerings on Tuesday. Additionally, plans for an on-campus track & field complex were revealed, which will include an eight-lane track, synthetic turf field, lighting, spectator seating, and an amenities building with locker rooms. 


The brand-new Hawks track & field programs will participate in both the indoor and outdoor seasons, officially beginning competition within the Northeast-10 Conference effective in the 2023-24 academic year. 

Design and planning for the facility, which may be completed in phases, is already underway. The complex is also expected to be home to the Hawks men's and women's soccer teams, as well as a wide array of other College programming.

"Track & field will enhance the overall student-athlete experience and provide new opportunities for recruits to compete at the NCAA Division II level while immersed in a transformative educational experience," said Saint Anselm President Joseph A. Favazza, Ph.D. "The addition of track & field at Saint Anselm is a key strategic initiative that will also drive ongoing athletics recruitment."

A national search will commence immediately for a Director of Track & Field/Head Coach, with the first track & field student-athletes enrolling at Saint Anselm in Fall 2023.

Saint Anselm will join many current NE10 institutions that sponsor track & field. Starting with the 2023-24 academic year, Saint Anselm will offer 23 NCAA Division II sports in total, an all-time high. 

"Athletic teams on the Hilltop have achieved unmatched levels of competitive success during recent years," remarked Director of Athletics Daron Montgomery. "We are confident that the College's track & field programs will strengthen our success in many ways and further elevate the brand and profile of Saint Anselm athletics."

NOTABLES

  • Since 2018, Saint Anselm teams have reached the Elite Eight, Final Four, and played for two NCAA Division II national championships—earning a total of 23 NCAA post-season appearances.
  • Based on current high school participation rates, track & field is the most popular sport for high-school aged girls while ranking second amongst boys.
  • Prospective track & field student-athletes should email Daron Montgomery, Director of Athletics, or complete the following online recruiting questionnaires: WOMEN'S TRACK & FIELD, MEN'S TRACK AND FIELD
  • Donor and naming opportunities are available for the track & field complex project. For more information regarding facility donor opportunities, contact Jim Flanagan, the Senior Vice President and Chief Advancement Officer.
