Philip Milano Presents “Death of News: Your Future Without Facts” – 2 p.m., Stockade 101. In an age when the power of mainstream journalism has changed, we’re all being left to our own devices to sift through a vast data wasteland. How will you now filter the rumors, lies and innuendo piling up on the web and your latest hand- held gadget? (Bring yours to the event, by the way. You may need it to keep up.) In this lively discussion, award-winning journalist Phillip Milano, uses biting wit and unyielding hope to confront one of our greatest challenges as he asks his audience to discuss a critical question: Will you be able to see the truth, the lies and the difference between them? From the same unconventional mind that is inspiring thousands of college students to re-think cultural awareness comes a

new, radical vision for how to keep you accurately informed amid the blogs, tweets and status updates. Phillip Milano is the author of “I Can't Believe You Asked That!” (Perigee), writer of the “Dare To Ask” column and founder of YForum.com. He is an award-winning journalist who has worn many hats through the ups and downs of his industry over 25 years.

King’s hard-hitting and eye-opening presentation is thought-provoking and educational, will change how you think about and react to bullying forever, and could potentially open the door to reclaiming interpersonal civility in your own life. The presenter endured bullying as a child before becoming a target of bullying as an obese woman. Additionally, she has experience counseling both bullying survivors and persons who bully, and uses this unique perspective and insightful knowledge to increase awareness of the long-term and detrimental psychosocial damage caused by bullying. She is a sought-after expert on the topic of bullying, a passionate advocate, and an outspoken survivor working to bring awareness to the psychological, emotional and physical torment survivors endure, and will introduce a plan on what we all can do about it. King is a 34-year college Student Affairs veteran; the last 13 have been as a counselor at Schenectady County Community College. She is now the Acting Director of Wellness and Support Services at SCCC. She recently was awarded the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Professional Service, the 2014 Woman of Character, Courage and Commitment Award by NYS Minorities in Criminal Justice, and was named Woman of the Year by the National Association for Professional Women.
