- Mar 2910:30 AMThe Locker RoomToday's Events | Clifford Gallery, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)
2023/2024 Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Artist-in-Residence jackie sumell and Studio CAJAIR present “The Locker Room.”Artist jackie sumell works at the intersection of social sculpture, abolition and healing. With the principle of abolition always in mind, sumell inhabits the physical materials and architectures of oppression and transforms these physical structures into lived spaces of radical hope.For The Locker Room, a work created especially for Colgate University, sumell worked with a team of students who go by Studio CAJAIR (an anagrammatic nod to the Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Artist-In-Residence program, which underwrites this work). Together, sumell and Studio CAJAIR spent the academic year considering the relationship between athletics and activism, ultimately recreating the architecture of a locker room to envisage how sports and locker rooms can be horizons of liberation. They ask, “What happens if the locker room becomes public, seeded with the best of its potential? Can we make the lockers themselves altars to the future[s] we wish to see?”sumell and Studio CAJAIR, along with students they invited from Art & Activism (ARTS 132A), transformed 12 lockers into altars to future worlds. They imagine everything from ecological justice, racial equity, and classless societies to happiness after retirement, as wins.The Locker Room is presented by the Art Department and the Christian A. Johnson Foundation. The Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Artist-in-Residence was established in 1986 as a challenge grant in support of the arts at Colgate. The residency program permits one or more artists to become part of the Colgate community every academic year.Opening reception and gallery talk with jackie sumell and Studio CAJAIR will take place at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27.Please note that weekend gallery hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors. If driving a distance, please contact the department at 315-228-7633 during regular working hours to ensure the gallery will be open.Learn more at https://www.cliffordgallery.org/ - Mar 2912:00 PMLGBTQ+ Art GalleryToday's Events | The Coop – O'Connor Campus Center, TV ROOM

This workshop has been postponed to fall 2024. For more information about the topic or new date, please reach out to Carolyn Strobel-Larsen, director, entrepreneurship and innovation.Intellectual property protects “creations of the mind,” which of course are the basis for every step from fundamental advances in basic research to the end products of technology companies. Thus, understanding the value of intellectual property is key to working in technology-driven industries. Yet many scientists and engineers are never trained in intellectual property — what it is and how our legal system enables us to protect it. Indeed, many academics create intellectual property all the time without even realizing it!In this workshop from the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, members of Syracuse University College of Law’s Innovation Law Center will discuss the four most common forms of intellectual property protection that may apply to your academic research:PatentsTrade secretsCopyrightsTrademarksFor each form, they will discuss what the intellectual property is, what creations are eligible for protection, the process for obtaining protection, and the rights secured by protection. After the presentation, there will be ample time for answering your questions about what intellectual property means and how it may apply to your activities here at Colgate. We look forward to seeing you for this highly informative discussion. Lunch will be served.Presenters:Brian J. Gerling, J.D., Executive Director of College of Law’s Innovation Law Center and Professor at the College of Law, who brings nearly over decades of intellectual property and commercial litigation experience in private practice before joining the faculty, along with one or more senior law students. - Mar 291:30 PMJummahToday's Events | Colgate Memorial Chapel
