“A Soldier's Eye: Europe 1944 — Photographs by Irving Shapiro” runs though
Dec. 19 in the Mandeville Gallery.

In 1944 Irving Shapiro of Glens Falls was a soldier
in the midst of the Second World War. But he was also a man with a camera, and
the photographs he took during the first months after the Normandy invasion are
a remarkable record of the people and places he encountered in that period of
turmoil and upheaval.

Also on exhibit are artifacts and
images of Union College's experience with on-campus Navy
officer training during the later years of WWII, known as the V-12 Program,
featuring research by Jeff Roffman '05.

The College's United Way campaign runs through Friday,
Nov. 19, and organizers are looking to continue Union's
record as one of the top contributing organizations in the region.

“Union's
employees have been extremely generous in the past,” said Gail Dexter, director
of annual giving and coordinator of the campus drive for United Way. “We're hoping to continue
that tradition, especially now as so many local service organizations can use
our help in transforming the community.”

To receive a pledge form, or for
more information, please contact Gail Dexter at ext. 8366 or dexterg@union.edu.
