School Updates March 31, 2011
Posted by Marina in : General, Spring 2011 , add a commentAs the semester begins to come to an end more and more has been updated around campus. From the start and near completion of the two new residence halls to flat screen TVs being wired and placed in the first floor lounges of the suites. The school has also updated some of it’s out-dated furniture and other lounges to increase the interest in utilizing “worn-down and out-dated” hang out spots around campus.
After adding flat screen TVs to the three suites first floor lounges we have also added a flat screen as you enter Caves along with some new age furniture to make it more welcoming and comfortable to relax and do some homework or simply just watch some TV. We have also put up Stevenson decals around campus to show more school spirit and to show off our new logos, look for them in the new gym, Rockland Marketplace, and other popular spots on campus.
And get this.. Stevenson University has hired an interior designer to come in and survey students about what they want to see in the Ratcliffe Community Center and the upstairs waiting/lounge area of Rockland. The TV lounge, pool room, large lounge area, and waiting area of Rockland will be transforming into hip and cool lounge and hang out spots to increase student satisfaction and overall school appearance.
On the Greenspring campus interior designers have helped to update those old and uncomfortable seats and replaced them with an abstract shaped couch for students to relax on as they read a book or do some research.

Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don’t care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.”

Testicular Tuesday March 30, 2011
Posted by Marina in : Informational Events, Spring 2011 , add a comment“Get out of your Rut, Check your N…”
The Facts:
-
Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy in young men between the ages of 20 and 34. There are about 7500 new cases yearly, with approximately 350 deaths per year in the US.
-
Testicular cancer is more common in white men than black or Asian.
-
Although it accounts for only about 1 percent of all cancers in men, it is the number one cancer killer among men in their 20′s and 30′s.
-
Most testicular cancers are self-discovered by patients as a painless or uncomfortable lump in the testicle. About 1-3% of testicular neoplasms are bilateral.
-
Pure seminomas constitute roughly 40% of all testicular cancer cases. Forty percent of the testicular cancers have mixture of histology.
-
The cancer risk for boys with a history of undescended testicles is about 10-40 times higher than normal individuals. The risk of developing the disease was estimated at 1 out of 20 for a testis retained in the abdomen and 1 out of 80 if it was within the inguinal canal. The risk remains elevated after surgical correction. Both testis are at higher risk, not just the undescended one.
-
If found early, testicular cancer is almost always curable.
-
Early stage testicular cancer can be treated with surgery and radiation therapy. Late stage testicular cancer can be treated with the combination of surgery, radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy.
-
The prognosis for men with testicular cancer is very good, even with late stage disease. The chances of recovery are excellent with surgery and radiotherapy for early stage disease. Combined modality is used for treatment of late stage disease with good results.
-
More than 90% of testicular cancer patients are cured by their initial treatment, and many of those who have recurrent disease can also be cured with chemotherapy or radiation.

Posted by Marina in : Fun Events, Spring 2011 , add a commentLast night Stevenson’s BSU hosted it’s annual Fashion Show. Due to the great turn out last year and the high level of interest from the student body the BSU decided to prepare for the show early and involve more students. Changing the theme to get the school questioning what they would get to see was a success!

LAX Brah March 26, 2011
Posted by Marina in : Sports, Spring 2011 , add a commentToday Stevenson University’s Men’s Lacrosse team defended their 8-1 title with another win against Scranton. Throughout almost 3/4 of the game our boys kept Scranton from scoring more than just their already one goal from the first period. With the stands filled with Stevenson students, family, and staff we were able to keep up the intensity and win with an amazing score of 21-7 taking their title to 9-1!
Let’s keep the spirits high and gain another win in the Women’s Lacrosse game today at 3:30 pm.
