It's a big week for the College's chapter of Big Brothers and
Big Sisters.
On Thursday, Jan. 22, senior Ruthie Strosberg and junior Beth
Wierzbieniec will accompany 20 “littles” to a performance of the skating show,
“Beauty and the Beast” at the Pepsi Arena in Albany. The group is to be featured
– skating on the ice with the performers before showtime – in a segment with
WNYT's Chris Kapostasy. The segment is expected to air in several weeks, said
Stephanie Wolos, who directs the College's chapter.
On Friday, Jan. 23, Wierzbieniec, sophomore Roger McShane and Leif
Roberg '97 (a current MAT student) are to accompany 10 unmatched local children to
the Meadowlands for a basketball game between the Chicago Bulls and New Jersey Nets. The
brainchild of the event was Vincent Lopez '97, a “big” for three years, who
works for Anderson Consulting in New York City.
