April 2024 Union in the Media Archive

Class of 1980 graduates Rich and Mary Templeton, whose $51 million gift announced in 2020 was the largest in Union’s history, have given another $40 million to strengthen the College’s distinctive integration of the liberal arts, engineering and computer science.

A number of media outlets mentioned the gift, including the Times Union, the Daily Gazette, the Albany Business Review , the Chronicle of Philanthropy and WNYT-13, the local NBC affiliate.

A subscription may be required to access the content from any of the outlets.

The news originally appeared on the College's website.

The Los Angeles Review of Books recently published an essay by Lori Marso, the Doris Zemurray Stone Professor of Modern Literary and Historical Studies.

Marso's essay reviews novelist Christine Smallwood's book about a classic Chantal Akerman film, “La Captive” to ask to whom, and to what, we are captive. Does making art in or about captivity move us towards freedom?

Marso is a regular contributor to The Los Angeles Review of Books.

Marso joined Union in 1997.
