Gordon C. Baird (geosciences) will present a paper on his research at the 42nd annual meeting of the Northeastern Section of the Geological Society of America to be held at the University of New Hampshire in Durham. His paper is entitled, “Late Middle Devonian (Late Givetian) Tully Formation in Pennsylvania: Comparison with Tully Limestone and Equivalent Clastic Deposits in New York State.”
Robert Jordan (music, emeritus) has recorded a new CD, “Robert Jordan, Pianist ‘Live’ in Concert.” All net proceeds will go to the Mamie and Ira Jordan Minority Scholarship Fund, which he established with the Fredonia College Foundation in 1997 to honor the memory of his parents, and to provide assistance and support to African American students on campus.

Richard Goodman (SUNY Fredonia/Dunkirk Community Partnership Project) has just returned from presenting a lecture at Niigata University in Niigata, Japan, as part of a special seminar series on collaborations between academic, business and industrial organizations. He consulted with Niigata’s Technology Licensing Organization, a high technology business development center affiliated with Niigata University, to advance an ongoing relationship with the SUNY Fredonia High Tech Incubator to be built in Dunkirk. While there, he also visited some of Fredonia’s Japanese alumni…many who remember fondly their Christmas gatherings at the home of President and Mrs. Dennis L. Hefner.
