Knight’s Life
Knight’s Life covers all aspects of student life including clubs, Greek organizations, volunteer opportunities, campus living and dining, advice for students, and anything else that has an impact on Geneseo students.
Professor George Reuter and the power of math education
If there’s one main thing SUNY Geneseo is known for in the larger lens of academia it would be, by far, the school’s ability to produce some of the country’s best teachers. Whether it be for English, art history, foreign languages, history, or any other subject, Geneseo’s education program continues to forge some of the strongest educators in the field, including the field of math, where Professor George Reuter focuses his attention.
Invasion of Privacy: The past, present, and future of INTD 105 with Professor D’Angelo
In terms of general education requirements for SUNY Geneseo students, few courses have the same reputation and general hesitancy as INTD 105: the writing seminar. Often taken in the first year of one’s time at Geneseo, there are numerous different sections, topics, and styles that cover the same basic principles about how writing is thought about at the collegiate level, generally in vast contrast to the high school level. Professor Lisa D’Angelo, instructor for “The Modern Age in America” sections of INTD 105, not only acknowledges the uncertainty that many students feel as they transition into their college life, but incorporates it into her curriculum as a way of not only helping grow the writer, but the person as well.
Pathways Peer Advocacy looking for students to become advocates
It’s getting to be that time in the semester where things are at their toughest: projects are due, tests are happening, and all the while the end of the semester is ominously approaching (which for me, a graduating senior, means that I have to figure out what exactly it is I want to do with my life). And this is not even to mention managing school along with work, friends, and self-care—and you know what? Sometimes it just feels like a lot, because it is a lot. And trust me, it really sucks crying in the Union bathroom when no one is answering your calls or texts and all the things are happening at once.
Avocado toast with egg
If I have said it once, I have said it a million times—breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not start it off with a bang? Here is a recipe for avocado toast with egg, a perfect combination for anyone needing the energy to make it through long days.
Signs that a relationship has become unhealthy
Content warning: This article includes content involving physical, sexual, and emotional abuse.
As college students, we surround ourselves with friends, lovers, and partners, creating a support system of our own without adult or parental input for the first time in our lives. But these relationships can turn sour, especially those with sexual and romantic partners. Here are ways to spot whether the relationship you are in is unhealthy, and what to do next.
Shakti’s Diwali Dinner: Celebrating the Festival of Lights

Invasion of Privacy: Wisdom from Brian Malgieri
Typically, the “Invasion of Privacy” Knights’ Life feature zeroes in on the life and perspective of a faculty, staff member, or student in the Geneseo community. The students interviewed are typically starting their undergraduate degree closely following their graduation from high school, and have the general Geneseo background of growing up somewhere in New York before choosing Geneseo for their higher education. These pieces thus rarely feature a student who strays from these norms in their journey to Geneseo, such as first-year English major Brian Malgieri, a self-identified adult student who recently got involved with The Lamron and the Geneseo campus community at large.
The Black Student Union’s annual haunted house
On Saturday, Oct. 29, the Black Student Union (BSU) hosted a Haunted House in the Union ballroom; the haunted house is an annual attraction that provides a safe, spooky Halloween activity for Geneseo students.

Scorpio season horoscopes
Welcome back to yet another zodiac article from yours truly! Because we caught up to Scorpio season last year when I first started writing zodiac articles, I decided to take a different approach to Scorpio season—instead of giving a general overview of this astrological sign and what its peak might mean for Scorpios and non-Scorpios alike, I wanted to give a sign-by-sign horoscope to guide you through the month. Please keep in mind that I am, obviously, an undergraduate English major whose knowledge of astrology is mediocre at best. Happy Scorpio season!
Invasion of Privacy: Ward Parker
Most days when students enter lower Mary Jemison after getting their cards swiped, they are greeted by many friendly CAS workers. One of these days, Ward Parker can be seen working at Asada regularly for lunch. He has lived an interesting life and is always ready to make you smile with his friendliness.
Self-described “man of action and culture”: Invasion of Privacy with Tim Rainis
If you are involved with civic engagement, politics, or bagel appreciation at SUNY Geneseo, it’s more than likely that you’ve crossed paths with senior international relations major Tim Rainis. Rainis, a man of charm, wit, and high-brow living is constantly looking to uplift and improve the Geneseo community, whether that comes in the form of educating students about local government or directing them to the best gumbo at a local fundraiser.
The Title IX Office kicks off the Love Shouldn’t Hurt Campaign
Last Friday, Oct. 14 the Title IX Office held their annual Love Shouldn’t Hurt Campaign, raising awareness about sexual violence, resources for survivors on and off campus, and raising money for local support organizations. The event started on the College Green, where students had the opportunity to sign the pledge to prevent sexual and dating violence, receive a free t-shirt, and put their handprint on the Love Shouldn’t Hurt banner. The event was followed by a walk around campus, where students held the banner in support of survivors. The walk ended at the Greek Tree, where students painted messages of support for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Navigating open relationships
College creates an opportunity for students to explore sex in safe and accepting spaces. It is a time where students can discover how sex fits into their lives, as well as learn new things about themselves and their bodies; however, finding yourself while in a long-term relationship can be difficult for many students. Wanting an open relationship with a partner can seem like a daunting task, but as long as proper communication is used, it can be a great opportunity for those wanting to learn more about themselves.
