This semester six faculty have been piloting the student response system CPS from eInstruction.com. CPS response pads (a.k.a. "clickers") have allowed faculty and their students to gain quick insights into levels of understanding and student opinion as well as to quickly take and grade quizzes.

Because clickers may need to be purchased by students and this is the time of the semester faculty submit required textbooks to the bookstore, ITS would like to invite all faculty to an informational session about using clickers with Spring courses. Faculty from the pilot will describe the ways in which they used the clickers this semester and we will talk about what students can expect when they purchase the devices from the bookstore.

Light refreshments provided. If you are interested, but unable to attend, please contact Jason Alley (alleyj@lafayette.edu or 5884) with any questions or ideas you might have.

For over three decades Kronos has fearlessly pushed the horizons of music, blurring boundaries between the Western canon, gifted musicians from different corners of the world, and iconic figures in pop, jazz, and dance.

With collaborations extending from Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Terry Riley to Dawn Upshaw, Allen Ginsberg, Zakir Hussein, and DJ Spooky, they have blazed a uniquely imaginative trail through contemporary music.

Their Williams Center concert will feature one of their signature pieces: George Crumb’s astonishing anti-war composition, Black Angels, in a newly conceived “staging” intended to dramatize the true theatrical power of Crumb’s richly-textured music.

WDIY 88.1 FM, Lehigh Valley Community Public Radio, is our media partner for this concert.

Wingspan returns to the Williams Center stage for the Boys and Girls Club of Easton’s 22nd annual Easton Jazz Festival. Bandleader/piano man Miller, vibraphonist Steve Nelson, saxophonist Steve Wilson, and trumpeter Duane Eubanks, along with a veteran rhythm section bring fire and grace to this straight-ahead, post-bop repertory of Miller’s compositions.

“True to [Miller’s] blues-tinged upbringing, he's a bop intellectual with an unabashed gift for populism,” says Time Out New York. “That explains both the thundering jabs in his sparkling runs and the sleekness in his writing and arranging.”
