Exploring Rainbow Coalition club at the Hillwood commons: 

At Hillwood Commons, a desk represented the newly formed Rainbow Coalition, offering LGBTQ themed stickers and pins for students to take. The club’s main objective is to spread LGBTQ awareness through membership and community engagement. By providing a safe space, the organization facilitates connections among like-minded individuals and promotes tolerance.

Tilles JAZZ Fest 24- July 20th 2024

The Tilles JAZZ Fest 24 took place July 20th 2024 on the campus of LIU Post. What a wonderful event! Vendors, food trucks, concert stages could be seen scattered across the campus and Great Lawn of our beautiful campus. There was some serious jazz being played on this day and as you walked along the path one group of musicians after other could be discovered playing their instruments and style of jazz in hidden corners of the campus. Good Trouble put forth a beautiful set led by LIU Professor Jeff Lederer on the tenor sax. One of my favorite songs of the day was sung by Dawn Clement playing in Good Trouble. She was an incredible pianist and had a beautiful voice singing a rendition of John Denver's Sunshine on My Shoulders. I was definitely feeling it as the sun shined down on us all on this special day. Afterwards I stumbled upon the Winnick House where Mariel Bildsten and her Quintet were letting loose! It was amazing, so nice to hear these sounds live on this campus. Just outside the Winnick House in the Rose Garden I got to catch a duo playing the harp and the double bass. My wife Diane and I had some treats to eat and some cold beverages on this hot summer day. This was just the day portion of the event, the sold out performance of Brandford Marsalis was later on that evening and Im sure that packed a serious punch! Congrats to our friends Megan, Stephanie, Tom, and all those at the Tilles Center and beyond who made this event possible. I will be in attendance next year, as the first of what is said to be an annual event was a big success! - Thomas

Campus Activity- petting zoo

Today there was a petting zoo on campus with lots of animals. Although it wasnt really a good to be outside it was really cold out and hands got numb from the cold so i took a few photos and when back inside

-Ben

Today we went to the annual petting zoo on LIU’s great lawn. The animals were cute. There were bunnies, ducks, sheeps, a bull, goats, and even a baby goat named Biscuit. I also got to holded Biscuit. The only downside was it was raining, but it was still good to see the animals. - Brian F.

 

Today I went to the annual petting zoo at the LIU great lawn.  There was goats, even a baby one, a bull, llamas, sheep, ducks, and two bunnies. It was under a tent so everyone and the animals don't get wet. Even though it was rainy and cold I still had a nice time otherwise. It also made me happy since being around animals is therapy for me. I even fed some of the goats.  -Cara (D)

PTW Goes Together to Watch the Peking Acrobats at the Tilles Center!!!

On Friday April 5th PTW watched an amazing show at the Tilles Ceneter Main Concert Hall Stage! Let's hear from what the students had to say about the Peking Acrobats show!

 

Today we want to see a show about performers from China doing incredible feats, and I loved it! My favorite part was especially the group where they balanced a yo-yo like toy across a long string and also the group where they went through a lot of hoops, some big, some small. I would really like to see another show like this some time.
- Caleb

it was really interesting and i really liked and it was very amazing and i really liked the huluhoops - Cassidy

 

I thought the show was amazing. I personally liked the hula hoop act and also the screaming was too loud for me but Alex was sitting with me and he helped me through it .It was really inventive and I liked the balancing plates and the biking as well and everything else it was once of a lifetime experience for me and i hope to see more shows again.  Dasha

 

The show had fantastically awesome and acrobatic stunts and
high-flying acts which had me on the edge of my seat. My favorite
stunts were when they had the human pyramids, the hula hoop slinky,
and also all the performers flipping through hoops and over flags.
They also had colorful ribbons, spinning plates, and also the
contortionist really wowed me-  Alex
 
I like the  bike and the juggling  - Dana
 

My favorite part of the show was the flexible girl, how she used her arms and her legs. It takes a lot of practice to use your body. The part that I saw was the guy balancing the vase and the giant vase. The part you said earlier was the two men used the girl as a jump rope. The last I saw was the bike ride where all the professionals get to ride together at the same time. I like the show. I mean I like it alot. They have very cool stuff. I had a great day beside the earthquake but It was awesome!  - Carlos

 

I liked the balancing plates because they are so cool. I also liked it when they all rode the bike. The entire show was completely fantastic. I had such a great time.  Shawn
 
1. I liked when the girl was balancing the hoola hoops.
2. I also liked it when they balanced on the floor to do gymnastics.
3. I liked it when they were riding the bicycles at the end.
- Jared

 

I like when all went on the bike together 

I like the dance

-Kiara

 

 

The show was entertaining and there were funny scenes in the show. It was a Japanese acrobatic show. There were elementary school students from Huntington schools that came as they had a good experience there. What I liked in the show was that there was one girl that was balancing plates. There was good music in the show and good dancing.
