A Taste of England
April 13, 2009
International Coffee Hour, an event that Dean of Student Services Art Malloy says aims to educate the SCAD community about other cultures, took place in the Hub on April 8. “Our goal is to increase the level of cultural competency by introducing students to the cuisine, snacks and customs of various countries,” said Malloy. “It is also our hope that we can provide a little piece of home for our international students and those members of the faculty and staff that come from to different countries.” A different country will be featured at each event. This time, the event featured coffee and platters of English food. “Based on the attendance at the English Coffee Hour, we should expect a good turnout for coffee hours planned for the future,” said Malloy. This event also served as a platform to introduce Brett Reichert, SCAD-Atlanta’s new coordinator of international student services and student conduct. Reichert also will work with UNI, a SCAD-Atlanta student organization that welcomes international and American students, to coordinate future coffee hours.

Students victorious in face-off with faculty in outdoor basketball tournament
Last Friday, SCAD students and staff members competed in a scrimmage basketball game on the outside court at Spring House. The game came from an idea that Art Malloy, the dean of students, had. “Art Malloy wanted a basketball game with a faculty and staff team competing against the student team that won the basketball tournament; once we started planning it we decided to open it up to everyone,“ said fourth-year broadcast design and motion graphics student Conroy Williamson. The students came away with a landslide victory of 51 to 25. The players played competitively, but commented on how they were just enjoying the opportunity to play this kind of game. “This was a really great idea because we actually able to play against some of SCAD’s faculty members,” said second-year advertising design student Nathan Lombardi. Lombardi also said that he looks forward to doing it again.
