Search Dogs Northeast

Tuesday, September 19 at 6:00PM

COME MEET SOME SEARCH AND RESCUE DOGS

Search Dogs Northeast is an all-volunteer organization that works with public safety personnel. Dogs are trained in different styles of search such as live find with and without a lead. They train two to three times a week and are always looking for subjects who would like to go out and sit. Our subjects hide in the open and behind objects. For more information on how to volunteer, please consider attending this event or visit their Facebook page. This event is made possible by members of the Massasoit Amateur Radio Association.


This event is open to the public so bring a friend! During this event, enjoy a meet & greet with the dogs as well as a live search demonstration


After meeting the dogs and seeing them in action, all are welcome to stay for the Massasoit Amateur Radio Association meeting happening immediately thereafter. 

Learn about different methods of financial aid including the awarding of grants, loans, and student work programs. Get practical advice from Laura Biechler, BSU Assistant Vice President of Student Financial Assistance & Enrollment Management.

September

Flora T. Little

Artist

Lizzie Abelson's art will be on display in the Flora T. Little Art Gallery located on the second floor throughout the month of September. Drop-in any time we're open to check it out. 

About the Exhibit:
The spaces depicted in these paintings hover between reality and imagination. While based loosely on actual locations, the artist has taken a great many liberties, rendering them fictitious. Abelson is drawn to quiet, to shadows, to liminality, to scenes that, while vaguely familiar, are often tinged with a slight sense of unease.

About the Artist
A New England native, Lizzie grew up in Suffield, Connecticut. She graduated from The Rhode Island School of Design in 1993 with a BFA in painting. Her junior year was spent abroad with RISD's European Honors Program. She currently lives with her family in Boylston, Massachusetts. Find her on Instagram.
