"We Are All Made of Star-Stuff: The Cosmos of Carl Sagan"
Donald McCrimmon, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dean of the Faculty
Astronomer Carl Sagan wrote, “Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people." Sagan was arguably the 20th century's greatest popularizer of science. This lecture will explore and update his insights into the nature of the universe and humankind's place in it, and cover as well something about Sagan the human being.
Donald McCrimmon is Dean of the Faculty and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Cazenovia College.

"From Luscher to Birren: Color and Human Response"
Josef Ritter, Professor of Interior Design
“Color and Human Response,” is focused on the perception of and reaction to color in our environment. The lecture will provide listeners with a greater understanding of how color selection can influence the psychological and aesthetic aspects of our lives. “All around us we see visual cues that indicate a particular behavior,” Ritter says. “Traffic lights, for instance: red means stop, green means go. We learn these behaviors. But there is also a physiological reaction to color that affects our emotions. Since the dawn of mankind we have depended on color as a guide to the things we could eat, burn, hunt and wear. Color has a tremendous impact on our physical, psychological and emotional well-being.”
Professor Ritter, founder of Cazenovia College’s Interior Design Program, has taught at the College since 1980. Ritter is a member of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), and the American Society of Interior Designers (A.S.I.D); he received his bachelor of arts degree from SUNY Albany and his master of fine arts degree from Syracuse University.

“Timeless Wisdom from Carlyle and Friends: 19th Century Thoughts on 21st Century Times”
Christine Geyer, Assistant Professor of English
War upon war, financial crisis, disruption of a primary commodity, voting rights, young leadership. Troubled times indeed, but not just for 21st century America. In this lecture, we’ll look at timeless wisdom from early Victorian writers Thomas Carlyle, John Stuart Mill and Matthew Arnold as they responded to their own troubled times with acute critical perspectives and a fundamental belief in human adaptability and flexibility to triumph in times of crisis. We’ll look not only at how these thinkers influenced one another, but also how their wisdom crossed the pond and influenced the work of American philosophers Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. We’ll conclude with a discussion of how these ideas function in contemporary America.
Chris Geyer is an assistant professor in English and director of Academic Writing at Cazenovia College. She holds a master’s degree in financial services and a master’s degree in English with a specialization in Victorian literature and culture. She is currently writing her dissertation in the Composition and Cultural Rhetoric program at Syracuse University where her research interests include globalization studies, and rhetorics of juris prudence.
