Students Compete in Annual Gingerbread Decorating Contest

December 4, 2009

2009 Gingerbread House Competition

The building materials:  gingerbread cookies, sugar cubes, shredded wheat and green frosting. The project:  a house, an airplane or maybe a pink guitar.

About 400 Saint Anselm students acted as architects and builders of their own sweet edifices last week, as they participated in the annual Gingerbread House decorating contest. The night in Davison Hall was filled with holiday cheer, as students learned it took a delicate hand to frost and glue together pieces of gingerbread.

The occasional "aah!" signaled a collapse, and the start of a new strategy. Contestants could build anything, as long as it was edible. One team gave Noah's Arc a holiday makeover.

The college community is invited to judge the creations, which are on display in Davison, and decide which three teams will win cash prizes of up to $400. Winners will be announced Friday, Dec. 11.

Nursing Alumna Lisa Kennedy Sheldon '78 Interviewed on NECN

November 23, 2009

Lisa Kennedy Sheldon '78 discussed the confusion set off by a government panel's new recommendations on mammograms. She appeared on NECN on Thursday, Nov. 19, during the news network's "Affairs of State" segment.

Sheldon says the panel's recommendations are surprising because they are an abrupt change from those set in place in 2002. Despite the new recommendations, she emphasizes that women should speak with their own health care providers to determine what is best for them.

Sheldon is an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts College of Nursing and Health Sciences. She teaches graduate and undergraduate courses focusing on oncology nursing and cancer care.
