The return of Full Circle

Invasion of privacy: Professor Olaocha Nwabara
Dr. Olaocha Nwabara earned her PhD in African-American and African Studies, and now currently works interdisciplinarily in the English department here at SUNY Geneseo, teaching classes on Black/African diasporas and literary analysis and critique. Within her courses, Black studies and literary analysis meet to create a more holistic viewpoint of race in literature, including historical and cultural components students might not be able to find in other English courses.
How to prepare your dorm before leaving for break
As the semester’s first official break for Geneseo students quickly approaches, many on-campus residents may be wondering the proper steps to take before leaving campus. While the break may only be a few days, here are some quick things to do before leaving to ensure a stress-free return.
Frugal Foodie: Ricecooker pancakes
Cooking for college students can be difficult because of all of the appliances needed that are hardly realistic: Crock-Pots, rice cookers, salad spinners, toaster ovens—the list is endless. But if you happen to have a rice cooker but don’t feel like making rice, this rice cooker pancake recipe is perfect for you.
Paint and sip with GLK
After long days of classes and homework, many college students want something fun (and free) to do with their nights. Look no further than Geneseo Late Knight’s many events. GLK hosts late-night free activities on Fridays and Saturdays that are welcome to all Geneseo students. This past Friday, Sept. 29, GLK hosted an apple cider paint and sip with the Filipino Student Union. The event was held in the Macvittie Union ballroom and was welcome to all students, regardless of whether they are directly involved in FSU or GLK.

Looking at the week ahead: Exciting SUNY Geneseo events to check out
As we kick off the 2023 Fall semester, Geneseo organizations and clubs are kicking off the year with tons of amazing events to check out. Here is a look at some of the many events happening on campus during the next week, and how to get involved with them.
Things I have learned as a Geneseo freshman
When you think of college, one may envision hanging out with some of the best friends you will ever meet, intricate and difficult studies, and having ample free time. From what I can say from my time so far, most of that holds true at SUNY Geneseo.
Finding peace through Geneseo Peace Action
Here at Geneseo, we have the privilege of creating clubs for each and every interest. There are over 180 clubs, ranging from biology club and mock trial to circus club and film club. Among the countless clubs is a club called Peace Action. The name is an excellent descriptor of what the club entails.
Invasion of Privacy: Mat Johnson
If you have seen videos on one of Geneseo’s official social media platforms, they have almost definitely come from one person—Mat Johnson. Johnson has been the video producer within the office of college communications and marketing for over five years. But what if I told you that Johnson originally started his career as a zookeeper?
Invasion of privacy: the air of Fish
Why, when pondering someone interesting on campus, might you think of Geneseo student Fischer Hicks? In conversation and on paper, Fish is a man with a unique life and respectful demeanor. So, what gives Fish a particular air of fascination?
G-Spot: Back to the basics
As much as I would love to jump back into the G-Spot kink series, with the start of the 2023-2024 school year, many of us need a refresher on sexual health and safety dos and don'ts.
Geneseo’s annual volunteer fair
This past Wednesday, Sept. 6, the Office of Student Volunteerism and Community Engagement put together a spectacular volunteer fair. The fair took place in the Macvittie College Union Ballroom from 1-4 p.m. There were over 25 organizations present at the fair, each with a table of their own showcasing their values.
Mental health resources
Mental health issues can be an obstacle that many of us have to overcome at any stage of life. Multiple factors can contribute to this, such as homesickness or seasonal change. Once a lack of motivation hits, finding help can be difficult, even if you know you need it. For those who struggle, there are many local and easy mental health supports at your disposal, all listed on the Geneseo mental health resource list.
Frugal Foodie: Buffalo chicken dip
The start of football season is a joyous time, especially for the Bills fans on campus. Delicious snacks can make the season even better. This simple buffalo chicken dip recipe can be made without a slow cooker in less than an hour.
Chocolate covered raspberry overnight oats
While breakfast is the most important meal of the day, finding time in the morning to cook can be virtually impossible. These chocolate covered raspberry overnight oats can be made ahead of time, making them the perfect grab and go breakfast.
Invasion of Privacy: A final homage to beloved managing editor and proud frog owner Emma Mincer
If there is one thing that all members of The Lamron can agree upon, it is that senior psychology major Emma Mincer is what makes our office an incredible place to be in. Over the last several years, Mincer has been an integral part of The Lamron. As a final tribute to her time as our managing editor, we have the incredible opportunity to share her experiences with the rest of the Geneseo community.
Student Business Expo
The struggles of starting a small business are often overlooked, but advertising and selling products is much harder than it may seem on the surface. Going to school and getting an education adds an extra level of difficulty to the maintenance of a small business. The Geneseo School of Business recognizes this, which is why they host events to help boost local student-run small businesses.
Invasion of Privacy: Frances Sharples
The time has finally come. After three years of unyielding labor, unwavering devotion, and innumerous sacrifices, senior English major Frances Sharples, The Lamron’s beloved editor-in-chief, is retiring their title and moving on to a sea of opportunities as they prepare for their graduation.
The 2023 Insomnia Film Festival: Fun for all Geneseo folk!
As a school without an art department or film major, creative cinematic opportunities for Geneseo students are sometimes hard to come by. Luckily, the Insomnia Film Festival is an annual tradition that film minors, actors, writers, and overall movie buffs can look forward to as a chance to engage with the Geneseo community innovatively and originally.
