On Saturday night, UB students flocked to Lake LaSalle for the return of Fall Fest, the Student Association’s annual September concert. The free show, last held in 2019, was headlined by rappers Yung Gravy and Fivio Foreign. Reactions to the lineup were mixed. Some were disappointed to learn there would not be an opening artist, despite SA’s initial announcement promising one.

The story of how I arrived at The Spectrum is very corny and lame, but I’m going to tell it anyway. I’ve never considered myself particularly good at anything except for writing. I’ve tried to be good at other things — some of my attempted hobbies include playing guitar, filmmaking, cooking, baking, knitting, making jewelry and photography — but nothing felt as natural as writing. When my parents, friends and teachers encouraged me to pursue it, I brushed them off. I was not a writer.

The 46th Dancer’s Workshop will be held from May 12-13 in the Katherine Cornell Theater Dancer’s Workshop, an entirely student-produced dance showcase, debuts May 12 at UB’s Katherine Cornell Theater. But Dancer’s Workshop isn’t your average department-run performance. This one’s all about the students — they’re given complete creative control over everything from choreography and costumes to lighting and sound.
