The New Age of Employment (Part 1): Working in the Retirement Years
The age of employment is changing, with many professionals over 60 choosing to bypass retirement and remain in the workforce. Elizabeth F. Fideler '64, EdD, author of Women Still at Work and Men Still at Work, shares current trends in labor force participation among older workers, including who’s bypassing retirement, who’s unretiring, and why, with an exploration of gender differences. Listeners will come away with a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges for mature workers, and issues pre-retirees should consider as they make career decisions.

Gardner, MA: Westinghouse Traction Elevators, Bank B, Heywood Memorial Hospital
RECORDED 7/4/2010
To celebrate the 4'th of July, without illegal fireworks, or going to see a legal (professional) display, we do what a nerd like I would do, RIDE ELEVATORS!!
This is a bank of two Westinghouse Elevators, Bank B, at Heywood Memorial Hospital, Gardner, Massachusetts.
I remember these things handling a bit rough, and making noise. They still do. Sadly, they have been modded, but left the original floor indicator alone, but you are greeted with those beautiful EPCO Adams ones instead. Gone were the little black buttons, similar to what Otis used.
North Truro Air Force Station - Abandoned
This is a great place for a day trip! Located on the tip of Cape Cod in North Truro is an abandoned Air Force Station. You are free to roam around the campus and take in the scenery. They also have a Performing Arts Center called Payomet (payomet.org). Granted, it's in a tent right now but the National Park is renovating a good chunk of the buildings. The living quarters at the Air Force Station, on the other hand, will continue to rot. Enjoy!

Deaf President Now (DPN) Movement of 1988: Undocumented Voices of Deaf Women Leaders- BB Bourne-Firl
Image Description: Most of the video is Bridgetta Bourne-Firl, an adult woman wearing a blue cardigan, signing behind a table against a wall painted to look like the ocean. Narrator Jane Bempong at the beginning and end of the video is a black young adult woman against a gray backdrop. She is wearing a green tee shirt and has wavy brown, shoulder-length hair.
Note: The 'uppercase D Deaf is used to describe a particular group of deaf people who share a language (American Sign Language) an a culture. The lowercase d deaf refers to the audiological condition of not hearing.
Notes on Bourne-Firl's mentions in the video:
In 1982, the Rowley Case involved a ten-year old deaf girl named Amy
Rowley and her right to have a sign language interpreter for academic
classes. The Board of Education v. Rowley focused on the definition of “free and appropriate education,” the underlying tenet of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975.

Deaf Women Role Models
Known for human rights advocacy, Mary C. Malzkuhn, PhD (1928-2016) was Government and History Professor at Gallaudet University. She was regarded as the “Mother of DPN” who supported the four student leaders of the Deaf President Now movement in 1988. They took her classes.
Bette Hicks – an educator and coach at the Maryland School for the Deaf (MSD) who later became MSD High School Principal. She was the Director of Artistic Sign Language at the Kennedy Center among the plays “A Streetcar Named Desire.”
Roslyn “Roz” Rosen, PhD is a well-known Deaf leader at the local, national and international levels. She was the first female Deaf Dean of the College for Continuing Education (1981-1993) and first Deaf female provost at Gallaudet University. NAD President (1990 to 1993), board member of the World Federation of the Deaf (1995-2003), and Director of National Center on Deafness (NCOD) at California State University at Northridge (CSUN).
Marie Jean Philip (1953-1977) was a tireless advocate for sign language rights and was the Bilingual-Bicultural Coordinator at The Learning Center for the Deaf in Framingham, Massachusetts.
Gertrude “Gertie” Scott Galloway, PhD (1930-2014) was the first woman to be elected president of the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) during 1980-1982 as well as the first deaf superintendent of the Marie H. Katzenbach School for the Deaf (MKSD) in Trenton, N.J. among other first time appointments.
The “Ducks” were an all-male group of Gallaudet University alumni behind the DPN movement as follows: Dwight Benedict, Stephen Hlibok, Mike O’Donnell, Jeff Rosen, Paul Singleton, Jamie Tucker, and Fred Weiner. They played a key role in pushing the DPN student leaders to achieve the goal for a Deaf president at Gallaudet.

Union Station Worcester Massachusetts
Built in 1911 of white glazed terracotta, Union Station is a powerful symbol of Worcester at the height of its industrial prosperity. This Beaux Arts Classical style building is modeled after the ancient Basilica of Maxentius in Rome, but with the addition of two ornate baroque-style towers that break the skyline as they rise high above the main facade. Inside, the station's grand hall is one of the city's most dramatic interior spaces – with a soaring vaulted ceiling, stained glass skylights, ornate plasterwork, and marble trim.
Today’s station replaced a very handsome Victorian Gothic style Union Station, opened in 1875, which stood nearby on Washington Square. With ground-level tracks, that station became obsolete in the early 20th century when it became necessary to elevate the tracks to avoid traffic problems. Special engineering was required to construct the foundation for the new building because underneath it ran the Blackstone Canal. The old station was demolished, but its tall stone tower was left standing until it was removed in the late 1950s for the construction of Interstate 290.
After World War II, with the increasing use of the automobile, fewer and fewer people relied on train travel. Gradually, the station fell into disuse and was closed in 1972. By the 1990s, Union Station was an abandoned ruin – its roof open to the rain. The stained glass ceiling fell in and seedling trees grew up through cracks in the masonry. But, public sentiment called for its preservation. Under the auspices of the Worcester Redevelopment Authority, the station interior was completely rebuilt. The glazed terracotta exterior was cleaned and repaired. New towers were built to reproduce the originals. Now of fiberglass, they are strong and light enough to withstand the vibrations caused by passing trains. In July of 2000, after a $32 million restoration, the station reclaimed its role as the city's key transportation hub – and one of Worcester's grandest buildings.

American Amnesia: Forgetting What Made Us Prosper
(6:10) Jacob S. Hacker discusses the importance of an effective public sector to America’s health, wealth, and well-being and explores why so many of our economic and political leaders seem to have forgotten this perspective. He explains these concepts in the context of recent political events, the historic 2016 election, and changing ideas about government itself.
Hacker, the Stanley B. Resor Professor of Political Science and the director of the Institute for Social and Policy Studies at Yale University, is the author, with Paul Pierson, of the recently published American Amnesia: How the War on Government Led Us to Forget What Made America Prosper (Simon & Schuster, 2016), an Editors’ Choice of the New York Times Sunday Book Review.
Introduction by Lizabeth Cohen, dean, Radcliffe Institute, and Howard Mumford Jones Professor of American Studies, Department of History, Harvard University

Clothing and Consciousness | Stacy Scibelli | TEDxWCC
Contemporary Fashion is an aspect of our everyday lives that is often overlooked as frivolous, extravagant, and utilitarian. This talk looks at the rich and varied history of clothing as it pertains to our personal consciousness, our public consciousness, and our environmental consciousness. This talk will also outline costuming and clothing as an access point to non-ordinary states of reality through various ceremonial practices such as Carnivale, Shamanism, matrimonial and mourning dress and other rites of passage, as well as our ability to change our minds and emotions through the clothing that we put on our body.
Stacy Scibelli is an artist and designer living and working in New York. Stacy received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston in 2004 and a Masters of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2009. She is currently the Curriculum Chair of Fashion Design and Technology at SUNY WCC, part-time faculty at Parsons The New School, and formerly the Program Coordinator and Lecturer of the Women in Creativity course at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

Boston is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States. Boston also serves as county seat of Suffolk County. The largest city in New England, the city proper, covering 48 square miles (124 km2), had an estimated population of 645,966 in 2014, making it the 24th largest city in the United States. The city is the anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area called Greater Boston, home to 4.5 million people and the tenth-largest metropolitan area in the country. Greater Boston as a commuting region is home to 7.6 million people, making it the sixth-largest Combined Statistical Area in the United States.
One of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston was founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from England. It was the scene of several key events of the American Revolution, such as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the Siege of Boston. Upon American independence from Great Britain, the city continued to be an important port and manufacturing hub, as well as a center for education and culture. Through land reclamation and municipal annexation, Boston has expanded beyond the original peninsula. Its rich history helps attract many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone attracting over 20 million visitors. Boston's many firsts include the United States' first public school, Boston Latin School (1635), and first subway system (1897).
The area's many colleges and universities make Boston an international center of higher education and medicine, and the city is considered to be a world leader in innovation for a variety of reasons. Boston's economic base also includes finance, professional and business services, and government activities. The city has one of the highest costs of living in the United States, though it remains high on world livability rankings.
