Davis Schwartz Memorial Library from Feb. 1 through March 11. The exhibit is a narrative of Hughes’ life and career, with photos and samples of his work. “It is a story of an American literary icon,” said Professor Melvin Sylvester, head of the Periodicals Department at the library and creator of the Langston Hughes’ exhibit. “Most people have heard the name Langston Hughes, but very few have taken the time to understand the genius behind the man, his works and his legacy.” Hughes (1902-1967) is best known as the poet whose works such as “I, Too, Sing America” captured the African-American experience from the 1920s through the 1960s. He was also a prolific author of novels, short stories, non-fiction books, children’s books, plays and other works. Open Poetry Readings: Members of the C.W.

For Further Information: Web Site: www.liu.edu/cwpcommencement Please Donate! C.W. Post Blood Drive Feb. 22
With the amount of blood available to Long Island hospitals at a dangerously low level because of the January blizzard, the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University in Brookville will host a blood drive Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2005. The Jan. 22-23 snow storm forced the cancellation of more than 20 blood drives that were expected to provide nearly 1,000 donations, said Dr. James Louie, executive director of Long Island Blood Services, which will conduct the Feb. 22 drive at C.W. Post. The region’s blood supply fell to 9,000 pints, Dr. Louie said. “We typically need a five-day supply of each and every blood type, or at least 12,000 pints in all, to be sure we can supply Long Island and metropolitan area hospitals with the transfusion products they require for patients,” he said. “Now we are far below that inventory level and are very concerned about patients getting the life-saving transfusion care they may need.” The blood drive will be held in the Pioneer Room at Hillwood Commons from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. It is open to students, faculty, staff and the public. Donors must be between the ages of 17 and 75 (over 75 with a doctor’s note), weigh at least 110 pounds and be in generally good health. Donors will be required to show ID and need to know their Social Security number. For more information or to make an appointment, contact Craig Harris, director of Student Life and Leadership Development, at (516) 299-2816 or write craig.harris@liu.edu. Walk-ins are also welcome. For medical information on blood donation, call 1-800-688-0900. Discount Tickets for Big Apple Circus at C.W.

Lindsay Lohan’s Mom-Manager Gives Students an Inside Perspective on Celebrity Management Star Power! Nothing competes with lessons from real life. Recently, students in one of C.W. Post Professor Patrizia Porrini’s management classes heard the real deal from former Radio City Rockette Dina Lohan, who now serves as manager for her megastar daughter, Lindsay Lohan. Dina Lohan launched her daughter’s career with modeling and commercial gigs, and then secured the “big break” with a successful audition for the lead role in “The Parent Trap” (1998). Her daughter has since appeared in several feature films including “Freaky Friday” (2003) and “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen” (2004) and most recently, “Mean Girls” (2004).

C.W. Post Responds to Shortage with Blood Drive October 19 September 27, 2005 - Did you know that the New York metropolitan area has to import approximately 50,000 pints of blood each year from other parts of the country because local residents don’t donate enough blood to meet our own needs? In fact, Long Island (and the entire New York metropolitan area) is chronically short of blood because less than 2% of the local population donates each year. The C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University is hoping to reverse this trend. The C.W. Post Campus, located at 720 Northern Boulevard in Brookville, will host a blood drive from 8:30 a.m. to 8:45 p.m. on Wednesday, October 19, 2005 in the Pioneer Room of Hillwood Commons. The blood drive is open to students, faculty, staff and the public. “The catastrophic event of Hurricane Katrina should serve as a reminder to us to always be prepared in the face of an emergency,” said Joseph Shenker, Provost of the C.W. Post Campus. “But we must remain especially diligent for the needs of people who face personal crises every day – such as cancer patients, accident victims and people needing surgery, who require a continuous, sufficient blood supply.” More local donors are needed to donate blood on a regular basis because it’s the blood already on the shelves that is immediately used to save lives – both in the hours following a crisis and each and every day,” Dr. Shenker added. Donors must be between the ages of 17 and 75 (over 75 with a doctor’s note), weigh at least 110 pounds and be in generally good health. Donors will be required to show ID and need to know their Social Security number. This year’s raffle prizes include 10 iPods, Subway sandwich coupons, T-shirts, and two $250 Commerce Bank accounts. Faculty, staff and students can make an appointment to donate by contacting:

C.W. Post Financial Honor Society Wins Bronze for Membership Boom October 14, 2005 - Currency comes in many colors, but the students in the C.W. Post chapter of the Financial Management Association (FMA) National Honor Society are seeing bronze. With 25 new members inducted into their group last year, they were given the FMA Bronze National Honor Society Membership Development Award for 2004-05, a prize bestowed on only 5% of all FMA chapters around the world. “This is a great honor for our organization,” said Zhaohui Zhang, Ph.D., faculty adviser to the club and Assistant Professor of Finance in the College of Management at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University. “This award recognizes the hard work of our students and the academic standards they hold themselves to.” Dr. Zhang added that the honor also acknowledges the initiative of College of Management alumna Michelle Lopez ’05, the chapter’s former vice president and the involvement of Andrea Newman, an M.B.A. student, who is the chapter’s current president. The honor society is part of the C.W. Post student chapter of the FMA. In order to be inducted into the honor society, graduate students must have a grade point average of 3.5 or greater; undergraduates 3.25 or greater, and be a finance major. This past year the club has raised more than $2,000 in fundraisers, held two successful stock market investment simulation contests, and invited guest speakers to address the members on various topics in finance. The C.W. Post chapter of the FMA National Honor Society is part of the C.W. Post College of Management Business Program. The College’s business degrees are accredited by the prestigious AACSB International – the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Students can earn a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with majors in finance, international business, marketing, management and management information systems. The College also offers an acclaimed 36-to-48 credit Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree; a one-year Accelerated International M.B.A.; and a dual J.D./M.B.A. degree offered in conjunction with Touro Law Center.
