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.

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.
