All are welcome to participate in this community run/walk event in support of the Last Mile Scholarship Fund. Every year, many students reach those last few classes prior to graduation and simply cannot afford to pay for them. We created the Last Mile Scholarship Fund to support students in that situation. The 5K course is an USATF Officially certified, 5K course that encircles the William Paterson University main campus. First 100 participants will get an official race tee, and top finishers will earn an official race medal!

Last Friday’s “World College Radio Day” was a huge success. The day included a visit from 10 high school seniors from Passaic Preparatory Academy. The students, accompanied by their teacher, observed classes and got hands-on experience in the @wpcommdept. The original idea for College Radio Day was conceived by Dr. Rob Quicke (General Manager, WPSC FM, William Paterson University, NYC market), and was founded in December 2010 by Rob, who worked with Peter Kreten (General Manager, WXAV FM, Saint Xavier University, Chicago market) to help develop the idea. The aim of College Radio Day is to harness the combined listenership of hundreds of thousands of college radio listeners throughout the world and to celebrate the important contribution of college radio by uniting for this one day. #wpunj #wpcahss #collegeradioday #worldcollegeradioday @bravenewradio photo credit: @clairejjohnson2

#repost • @wpugalleries A Durable Thread: The Silk Road from China to America reimagines the Silk Road by connecting China to the “Silk City” of Paterson, New Jersey, bringing together a world of silk objects from Asia, Europe, and North America from the 17th to the 20th centuries. Rather than positing what silk can tell us about Paterson, this exhibition asks viewers to reconsider Paterson’s role in the global silk trade in relation to longstanding silk traditions. Curated by Professor He Zhang and Casey Mathern, director of the University Galleries, “A Durable Thread,” positions Paterson within a global web of silk processing and production through textiles, historical dress, and drawings and documents created along the historical trade route as well as outside its typical boundaries. Together, these materials embody how silk opened up international and transnational trade, education, and industrialization, transforming the social lives of the cities it touched. Lenders to the exhibition include the Allentown Art Museum, Cora Ginsburg LLC, the Paterson Museum, and He Zhang. @atownartmuseum @coraginsburg @thepatersonmuseum Open now through December 2. A tour of the exhibition by co-curator and professor He Zhang will be held on Thursday, September 22 from 2 to 3 p.m. in the South Gallery. A reception and catalogue launch will coincide with the first day of an international symposium on the topic of the Silk Road at William Paterson University on Wednesday, October 26 from 3 to 5 p.m. in the South Gallery. This exhibition is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. Monday - Friday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday, October 16 and Saturday, November 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public. #TheSilkRoad #SilkRoad #WilliamPatersonUniversity #WilliamPatersonUniversityGalleries #WPUGalleries #Silk #Silks #Textile #Textiles #SilkHistory #TextileHistory #China #ChineseTextiles #ChineseSilk #AmericanTextiles #AmericanSilk #EuropeanTextiles #EuropeanSilk #CoraGinsburg #18thCentury #19thCentury #17thcentury #patersonnj #ikat #patterndesign #silkembroidery #wpunj #wpcahss
