Ten Tons of Love

Do you think you can get everything in your residence hall room or apartment home for the summer? What do you do with the sweater your Aunt Margaret gave you that never quite fit right or the stack of notebooks you thought you’d need but never touched? There’s a simple solution…give it to Tens Tons of Love. Ten Tons of Love is a campus-wide food and clothing drive. It is held at the end of each semester in the hope of saving good things from being thrown away. Collection boxes will be placed all over campus including residence hall lobbies, the Schine and Goldstein Student Centers, offices throughout campus, and at the Office of Off-Campus and Commuter Services at 754 Ostrom Avenue. Ten Tons is a community engagement project that works to foster the relationship between those on the hill with those in Central New York. Everything collected gets donated to city organizations for direct distribution to local residents at no cost. These items find a new home with members of our community who need the support. Recent donations have gone to Transitional Living Services, Interfaith Works of CNY’s Center for New Americans, First English Food Pantry, Northside Clothes Closet, Refugee Resettlement Program, Practical Assistance Program, Bethesda Temple Pentecostal Church, and Mary Nelson’s Backpack Program. Here are some items that you can donate: • Unopened, non-perishable food items — canned food, pasta, ramen noodles, etc. • All types of clothing in good repair — jeans, sweatshirts, tops, sweaters, shorts, etc. • Footwear — sneakers, boots, dress shoes, etc. • Outerwear — jackets, raincoats, winter coats, umbrellas, etc. • School supplies — pens, pencils, loose leaf paper, backpacks, etc. • Household items — storage bins, lamps, shower caddies, etc. • Furniture — end tables, chairs, bed frames (if you live off campus), etc. • Cell phones This initiative was named “Ten Tons of Love” five years ago with the intent to collect ten tons of goods to donate. This goal was accomplished by the kindness of our students and each subsequent year it has gotten bigger. Last year 45 tons were collected! Show some love this year and see if we can collect even more. Give it away rather than throw it away. If you have any questions, call the Office of Off-Campus and Commuter Services at 315-443-5489. by George Athanas, Assistant Director, Office of Residence
When all your friends are graduating and you’re not

Graduation can be a hard moment in a student’s life. Around this time, it becomes bittersweet thinking about leaving a community where you've grown and built strong ties with others from different places in the world. The idea that you've toiled earnestly to get to this moment is gratifying and fulfilling. Knowing what will be left behind and what will be missed is daunting. Memories made and friends gained through the college experience are truly significant to those graduating, as well as to the friends who are not yet done with their time here. As sad as this moment sounds, try to look at the brighter side of things. Some helpful tips for those seeing a friend graduating • Take your friend out to eat • Take your friend to an event • Get your friend a present • Spend time with them and let them see how much you value their friendship Some helpful tips after a friend has graduated • Call/write to them occasionally to follow up on their lives • Look for ways to meet and make new friends • Be active and do things that you enjoy by Aldrine Ashong-Katai
Can you explain motion sickness?

I'd really like to know more about motion sickness. Sometimes while traveling on a bus, I become "bus" sick I guess I should call it. I feel dizzy, nauseous, and a sensation of vomiting. This baffles me, I don't understand motion sickness. Can you please explain?
