Preformer Regie Gibson


The Miriam Levine Reading: Performer Regie Gibson

Wednesday, April 1, 4:30 p.m., Heineman Ecumenical Center

Well, Here We Are...

The Poems, Stories and Brain-Droppings of Literary Performer Regie Gibson-- (and maybe a few other folks you probably never heard of)

Come join Regie Gibson for an evening of story, spoken word poetry, song and other almost-relevant musings about what it means to be here (wherever that is). This will be a faux-intelligent, semi-thoughtful, bluesey, jazzy, almost-waste-of-time exploration into what it means to live, laugh, lie, and love as a short-lived hominid.

FSU Student Planetarium Show: Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon

Thursday, April 2, 4:30 p.m., McAuliffe Center Planetarium 

This show celebrates Pink Floyd’s iconic album ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’, originally released in March 1973.

With the help of modern technology, the idea of a show combining breath-taking views of the solar system and beyond, played out to 42 minutes of The Dark Side Of The Moon in surround sound, has been embraced by the band. NSC Creative have led the visual production efforts, working closely with Pink Floyd’s long time creative collaborator Aubrey Powell from Hipgnosis, to create the ultimate ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ fulldome experience

Wellness Day brings people together

By Francisco Omar Fernandez Rodriguez

Daleri Garcia, senior criminology and psychology major, said Wellness Day provides both resources and activities that help campus community members.

“This is honestly one of my favorite events because not only do they provide a bunch of resources but they provide things like lunch and a free message,” Garcia said.

She said events like this help advocate for both Framingham State University’s resources but also SEALS’, which she works for.

Another SEALS member, Makayla Sidnea, a junior marketing major, said SEALS works on mental health and sexual health awareness. She said there was plenty to learn and do at Wellness Day. Some of the activities included playing with clay and getting a massage, she added.

“It’s great for your mental health just to take a break, especially with the stress of classes. It’s really important to make sure you’re taking care of yourself,” Sidnea said.

Marwa Sadiq, sophomore biology major, said she likes the Department of Wellness and Prevention. She had gone to their meditations in the Center for Inclusive Excellence (CIE) before, she added. She would recommend students to go to the CIE for their events and added it is a good way to make friends, she said. She tried some of the games and even the massage, she said.

“Actually it was my first time getting a massage and it was really good and relaxing,” Sadiq said.

There were 10-minute massages available for free, with a licensed massage therapist, throughout the day. There were also a few tables with small gifts, such as bags of tea, stickers, and general fidget toys.

Kimberly Charneski, Well-being coordinator, said Wellness Day is an opportunity to learn about how to improve one’s well-being.

“Stress reduction is such an important part of how we’re navigating our well-being these days, right?” Charneski said.

Part of the goal is to help students get their minds off of what’s worrying them, she said.
