In Brief
Free skin cancer screening May 17
A free skin cancer detection clinic will be held at
Strong Memorial Hospital’s dermatology outpatient area from 9 a.m. to
1 p.m. Saturday, May 17. Local dermatologists will conduct skin
screenings to detect skin cancers and pre-cancerous conditions. Each
screening takes about five minutes to conduct and a written report of
findings will be given to each participant. Information on skin cancer and
skin cancer prevention will also be available. The 23rd annual clinic is
sponsored by the American Academy of Dermatology, Rochester Dermatologic
Society, and the Department of Dermatology at the Medical Center.

Fundraiser for region’s tiniest fighters
The second annual Evening of Wine and Wishes on
Friday, May 2, benefits the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Golisano
Children’s Hospital at Strong and celebrates the nearly 1,200
premature and newborn babies in the Finger Lakes region who rely on the
unit’s expert care each year. This rescheduled event (cancelled in
March due to poor weather) raises funds, awareness and even wine glasses to
support these babies’ special needs, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Friday,
May 2, at the Rochester Museum and Science Center, 657 East Ave.
River Campus premiere
Be sure to step outside the office or classroom on May
2 at noon for rare concert of bells and electronic music. As part of the
Spring Concert Series, the Eastman Computer Music Center and the
College Music Department will present a carillon concert from the
University’s Hopeman Memorial Carillon in the tower of Rush Rhees
Library. Performed by Eastman graduate students Tiffany Ng ’08 and
Randall Harlow, the 75 minute concert includes the world premiere of six
new pieces for carillon solo or with amplified electronics, plus several
other selections. The music is best heard on the half of the Eastman
Quadrangle closest to Rush Rhees Library. The Hopeman Memorial
Carillon is an instrument of 50 bronze bells, each precisely tuned so that
the bells may be sounded harmoniously.
