The New York Times Arts Beat blog reported on the announcement of a new Syracuse University arts leadership program named for renowned literary agent Morton Janklow ’50 and his wife, Linda. The 15-month, 39-credit-hour master’s degree program is for leaders and entrepreneurs in the visual and performing arts.

Data from SU’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) is cited in an Associated Press article about U.S. prosecutors reviewing immigration deportation cases in an effort to reduce the case backlog by focusing on detainees with criminal backgrounds or those who are deemed threats to national security.

Research by Ossama “Sam” Salem, Yabroudi Chair of Sustainable Civil Infrastructures at L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science, and LCS research associate Baris Salman on wastewater and infrastructure was featured in the WaterWorld trade magazine.

Reports in the Christian Science Monitor, Poynter, CNY Central and Central New York Business Journal on online protests targeting proposed SOPA and PIPA legislation in Congress against online piracy make note of SU School of Information Studies (iSchool) participation in Web blackouts to demonstrate threats to free speech. Anthony Rotolo, assistant professor of practice in the iSchool, and graduate student Meghan Dornbrock are quoted.

The SU College of Law Cold Case Justice Initiative (CCJI) is mentioned in a Natchez Democrat story about Concordia Sentinel Editor Stanley Nelson, who has pursued justice in the 1964 murder of Frank Morris.

The New Yorker highlighted the Keliy Anderson-Staley exhibition, “[hyphen] Americans,” currently at the Lubin House Palitz Gallery. Anderson-Staley, recently a Light Work artist in residence, works in wet-plate colloidion tintype photography.

Sunday’s Post-Standard reported about proposed state legislation calling for the replication of the Start-Up NY program. The program, created by the Burton Blatt Institute and run out of the South Side Innovation Center, helps entrepreneurs with disabilities launch their own businesses.

A recent 9WSYR “Bridge Street” segment (watch clip) focuses on the 2012 Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration and presentation of Unsung Hero Awards at SU with an interview of Michelle Singletary, assistant director in the SU Office of Residence Life and committee chair for the 2012 Unsung Heroes Award. The Monday Post-Standard previewed Saturday’s celebration. Coverage included a profile of the late Cheryl Spear and brief feature on all five award recipients. Also, a Newsday story (subscription required) about MLK events on Long Island noted the monologue presented by College of Arts and Sciences student Ronald Taylor.

Dessa Bergen-Cico, assistant professor of public health in the Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics’ Department of Public Health, Food Studies and Nutrition, authored a two-part blog entry for the Alcohol and Drugs History Society in response to a recent NPR broadcast on behavior change and heroin use among post-Vietnam veterans.
