SUNY Geneseo’s athletic teams have taken home the State University of New York Athletic Conference’s (SUNYAC) Commissioner’s Cup for seven consecutive years. The honor, which measures the top overall athletic program in the SUNYAC conference, determines the overall winner for each given school year. To continue to have the consistent success Geneseo has, many of the teams on campus have needed to perform well for years on end. This is not any more applicable than with the men’s and women’s swim and dive teams led by head coach Paul Dotterweich.

Invasion of Privacy: Anthropology Chair Dr. Paul Pacheco
Earlier this week I had the honor of interviewing Dr. Paul Pacheco, a Professor of Anthropology at Geneseo who has been chair of the Anthropology department, since 2014. I started the interview by giving Dr. Pacheco a chance to debunk some common misconceptions about his field. “We don't get too [many] misconceptions, probably the biggest one is people think I have something to do with dinosaurs.” Since he does not work with dinosaurs, I asked him to explain what anthropology and archaeology are.

Invasion of Privacy: Managing editor Ella Pearcy
Over the past semester, The Lamron has been lucky enough to fall under the leadership of current managing editor, senior English (creative writing) major Ella Pearcy, who will graduate in December. Those who know Pearcy know that she is both stringent and silly; she assembles weekly meeting notes chalk-full of emojis and sidebars, while also effectively keeping our executive board on-track and on-time. I’ve been friends with Pearcy since our freshman year, and adored speaking with her for this Invasion of Privacy about how she has grown into such a brilliant writer, editor, friend, and human throughout her undergraduate career.
