ALBANY A+ IN EDUCATION The Albany region is tops when it comes to education, according to a February 14 article in Forbes magazine that was based on research done by the Places Rated Almanac, Millennium Edition. The Albany-Schenectady-Troy Region rated number three in the nation. "Not only does the University provide a fertile environment that encourages learning, it is also a major employer that -- unlike many now-defunct tech companies -- is unlikely to endure massive layoffs," the article said.

YORK TIMES PRAISES STEPHEN GUIRGIS '90 The March 2 edition of
The New York Times featured a profile of Stephen Adly Guirgis (BA'90).
The article, "The Sound of Fury," called him an overgrown kid
who may be the best playwright in America younger than 40. The article
mentions that while at UAlbany, Guirgis became a famous campus character,
and it was here that he had a chance to pursue his interest in acting. Events
