Leadership Workshop Provides a Powerful Lesson \u2013 and Some Fun<\/a>
\nForget solar, gas or electric \u2013 the most powerful form of energy was on display in the MCC College Center in March as 50 students from all over the campus participated in a leadership workshop.

Prof Translates Masterpiece; Meets a Fan of Italian Literature<\/a>
\nSanti Buscemi, professor of English, has translated a second book by Luigi Capuana, \u201cThe Marquis of Roccaverdina\u201d (1903).\u00a0 \u201cIn my view it is his masterpiece,\u201d Professor Buscemi said. \u201cIt is the story of a wealthy marquis in Sicily in the late 19th century. He has an affair with a servant woman with whom he is madly in love, but he is convinced by his family that he cannot marry her because of their class differences. He comes up with an idea to have the foreman of his estate marry her, but they have to live together as brother and sister \u2013 not as husband and wife.<\/p>\n
