The Lion’s Eye RRR SE on Campus February 2. 2011 Group Counseling Now Offered At Brandywine By Caitlin Hazinsky - Lion s Eye Entertainment Editor - ceh5240@psu.edu Students attending college often times have the same primary goal - get good grades, maintain a decent GPA, and graduate - but sometimes there are outside pressures that can cause too much stress. In response to these issues, Penn State Brandywine campus will be offering group counseling services starting on February 3rd. The group counseling sessions are intended to help students cope with their school pressures and outside stress in order to make their college experience more en- joyable.

The collaboration will be crucial in helping campuses expand their footprint on this area. Growth in the number of four year programs offered here at Brandywine is another hope. “There are currently ten, four year programs here at Brandywine; hopefully that number will grow between twelve and fifteen in the near future,” deGategno states.- Some of the potential programs discussed include Psychology, Sciences, and General English. “This 1s a very good time for this campus”, said deGategno, “There are lots of opportunities. We are coming out of a bad economic time both nationally and locally, but we feel that we positioned ourselves very well to grow over the next five to ten years.” This growth includes hopes to build more academic programming, Sports pro- grams, and even a possibility of on campus housing. Although there are no set plans yet for these ideas, the alliance between the campuses is certainly a major step in opening the doors for these new and exciting opportunities. great night.

Is Big All Over Special to The Lion’s Eye Penn State Brandywine senior THON (continued from page 1) On Tuesday, February 15th, things get a little crazy when THON hosts “Cash for Curls.” Starting February 1, faculty, students and staff will have the opportunity to start a bidding war to determine if Direc- tor for Student Affairs, Dr. Matthew Shupp will be shaving his lusterous locks or if his crowning glory will be saved. The bid- ding war will culminate in a Common Hour Bid-Off, where it will then be determined if Shupp keeps his mane for another year, or if he goes bald. In order for shaving to occur the “Save It” and “Shave It” pots must be at least $600 combined, but more is always hoped for. Shupp agreed last fall to donate his hair to help raise money for THON. “I am looking forward to seeing what the cam- pus wants more...save it, or shave it,” says Shupp. In addition to raising money, if the bidding war determines that Shupp shaves his head, all of his hair will be donated to Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to children in the United States and Canada under age 21, who suffer from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. On Wednesday, February 16th, the annual Penn State Brandywine “For the Love of THON” Date Auction will be held during Common Hour in the Lions’ Den . Members of Penn State Brandywine THON will be auctioned off and all of the proceeds will go directly to THON. Also on tap for that day, THON will be holding their annual Silent Auction from 4 pm until 7 pm in The Lion’s Den. Items that will be auctioned off include Camden River Sharks tickets, tickets to the Brandywine River Museum, baskets from several radio stations, a signed 76ers jersey from Andre Iguodala, and several other chance baskets. THON Spirit Week will culmi- nate with the Dancer Send-off Celebration on Thursday, February 17th. This event is “opened to all students, faculty and staff and will be held in the Lions’ Den from 11:30a- 12:45p. Light refreshments will be served as the dancers prepare to leave for University Park that day. This is one of the most impor- tant parts of THON Spirit Week because it shows our dancers how much the campus community supports them in their efforts to give so selflessly. Members of Penn State Brandy- wine THON will be departing Friday morn- ing at 10am to join their dancers at the BJC. Both the dancers and the members of the or- ganization ask that you will attend the events during THON Spirit Week, as they celebrate the lives of the children and families affected by this horrible disease.

The elementary education major united hese two loves to pen a fully illustrated children’s book about a young girl’s journey from the Big Apple to wide open ppalachia for her Schreyer Honors rogram thesis project. “I wanted to combine both y passions -- teaching and working in ppalachia,” Glace said. Inspired by a children’s literature course and her experiences as a volunteer, and with the artistic help of alumna Christina Felizzi ’10, the book’s illustrator, Sams Big Move came to life. : In high school, Glace began volunteering with ASP, an organization hat prepares youth and adult volunteers o help families in rural areas of Vir- inia, West Virginia, Kentucky and Ten- essee by making their homes safer and ore livable. Volunteers participate in eeklong sessions doing home construc- ion. Glace became enamored of the eople and volunteered for five sum- ers. Several years into the program she was given a paid leadership role, and in 2009 she spent the entire sum- er in rural Magoffin County, Ky. She as touched by the stories of the people she met. And today, those stories can be found on the pages of Sams Big Move. The story follows Sam and her arents as they move from New York ity back to her father’s hometown in agoffin County.

The book helps young read- ers in urban areas explore a world most never knew existed. Felizzi’s illustra- tions were inspired by real photographs, bringing to life the town and people for which Glace is so fond. The book explores com- mon themes of life in Appalachia. She researched other children’s books about the area, coming up with the top 10 themes -- the role of animals, food and hospitality and nature -- and built her story from there. Glace incorporated Appalachian clothing -- Dustin tells Sam kids in Magoffin only wear shoes for school and special occasions --, the idea of close-knit communities and self- reliance. “It’s so neat to see [the book] in a tangible form and to be able to turn the pages and [say], ‘Wow, we did this!”” Felizzi said. “This is a dream come true for both of us.” To order a copy of Sam’s Big Move go to http://www.blurb.com/book- store/detail/1844383.
