We are trying to get the word out about a fellowship program designed to bring diverse perspectives to the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival (FLEFF) in Ithaca, NY, April 3-6, 2014. Please share this email widely. Your help is appreciated.

The Fellowship is available to doctoral students of color in all disciplines who have a personal or professional interest in sustainability. FLEFF provides an opportunity  to share that interest with others.

The Fellowship will cover substantially all costs for transportation, room and food, and Festival passes. Up to 10 fellowships will be awarded.

Please contact Professor Warren Schlesinger to express your interest (warren@ithaca.edu). The application process will include a statement of interest and a cv.

It may be helpful to visit www.ithaca.edu/fleff and to read the FLEFF Mission statement below.

FLEFF Mission Statement
The Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival at Ithaca College embraces and interrogates sustainability across all of its forms: economic, social, ecological, political, cultural, technological, and aesthetic. The festival is in the spirit of UNESCO’s initiative on sustainable development. This initiative has redefined and expanded environmental issues to explore the international interconnections between war, disease, health, genocide, the land, water, air, food, education, technology, cultural heritage, and diversity. Through film, video, new media, installation, performance, panels, and presentations, the festival engages interdisciplinary dialogue and vigorous debate. It links the local with the global. And it showcases Ithaca College as a regional and national center for thinking differently—in new ways, interfaces, and forms—about the environment and sustainability.

Dear University Community:

On behalf of the School of Management, I am very pleased to announce that IRS-certified accounting students from the University at Buffalo School of Management will again offer free tax preparation services at North and South campus sites to individuals and families with an annual income below $51,000. UB employees and students are encouraged to take advantage of this service and to invite their families and neighbors to do the same.

Tax preparation for nonresident aliens requires special processing that is beyond the scope of the services provided by Beta Alpha Psi volunteers.  F-1 or J-1 students who have been in the U.S. for five years or less and J-1 scholars who have been in the U.S. for two years or less should contact International Student and Scholar Services for income tax filing assistance, or click here to find out if you are eligible to use Glacier Tax Prep, which will be available mid-February.

Dates, times, locations, maps and other important details can be found at the link below:
