    “ Drawing Empowers You”

    Saturday, April 4, 2009, 12:15 – 1:15 pm, Putuxent Longe, University Union

    For me drawing is the process of thinking/working your questions out. It is also a way to extract an idea from my mind. To me art is about a personal reaction to a question.  This can come from yourself, peer, or professors. Most importantly is how you respond to it, this cannot be forced. As an artist one body of work leads to another.

    Life in a frog pond: it costs to call but it pays to advertise!

    Saturday, April 4, 2009, 6:30-7:30 pm, Potomac Lounge, University Union

    As the snow melts in late winter, wetlands throughout North America erupt into a cacophony of sound. This biological symphony is a harbinger of spring and bears raucous witness to the complex, but seldom seen mating rituals of countless amphibian species.

    Dr. Don C. Forester has spent his career studying the behavioral ecology of amphibian reproduction and will present an illustrated lecture examining the complexity of vocal communication among frogs. Using his own research with spadefoot toads (Spea) and the spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer), he will discuss why male frogs call and the information that females extract from the calls. Come and join us to learn why it costs to call, but it pays to advertise!
