(Note: The full 1993 film “Gettysburg” will be shown on the large cinema screen in the Lincoln Depot Museum on July 1, the 160th anniversary of the 1863 battle.)

The doors of the museum will open at 1 p.m. and the film will begin at 2 p.m. Admission is $10 per person; free for children 12 and under and museum members.

The museum will continue a full schedule of presentations on the first Saturday of each month of 2023 from May 6 to Nov. 19. The full schedule of outstanding programs and presenters can be found on the museum website.

COLLEGE’S RECORD-BREAKING CLASS

Manhattanville College in Purchase, New York, has admitted its largest and most diverse group of students since record keeping began 25 years ago, representing a 15.6% increase from last year and a 31.8% increase from 2021.

The admitted Class of 2027 is nearly half first-generation and is more diverse with increases in international students and students who are Asian, Black or African American and Hispanic.

During the month of May Manhattanville will welcome admitted students back to campus for “Valiant Up Days,” a new series of events designed to provide greater 1-1 support for students and families as they finalize their enrollment with the college. The college will also host newly enrolled students and their families for New Student and Family Orientation sessions this summer.

“We are delighted to see such a strong interest in our academic programs, which are designed to prepare students for successful careers and meaningful lives in a rapidly changing world,” said Vice President for Enrollment and Marketing Troy Cogburn.

Demographics of admitted students:

• 48% identify as first generation, the first in their household to go to college;

• 3.41 average GPA, the highest in several years;

• 16% increase in admitted Asian students;

• 27% increase in Black or African American admitted students;

Casino Advertising Director Appointed

Integrated Entertainment Resort Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Çonnecticut, recently announced the appointment of David Fausel who previously had spearheaded a marketing modernization initiative that introduced an increase in digital, social and CRM efforts at the casino.

“We’re excited to welcome David ‘back’ to Mohegan Sun, this time as the leader of our advertising team and all that it strategically encompasses,” said George Galinsky, senior vice president of marketing.

• 30% increase in Hispanic admitted students;

• 9% increase in White admitted students;

• 28% increase in students admitted that identify as two or more races; and

• 18% increase in international students.

Manhattanville has been recognized by “U.S. News and World Report” for Ethic Diversity and has earned a designation as a Hispanic Serving Institution by the U.S. Department of Education, which has allowed it to recruit more Latinx students. The school is also one of the few to offer an undergraduate certificate in design thinking, giving students a leg up with employers looking for critical thinking skills.

As Director of Advertising Fausel will oversee strategy and execution of all brand and entertainment advertising for Mohegan Sun, as well as maintain collaborative relationships with ad agency partners. He will also support the continued success of Mohegan Sun’s new ad campaign “All in for Mohegan.”

Owned by Mohegan, Mohegan Sun is one of the largest, most spectacular entertainment, gaming, dining and shopping destinations in the United States. Situated on 185 acres along the Thames River in scenic southeastern Connecticut, Mohegan Sun is home to two unique casinos, 1,600 deluxe hotel rooms, two world-class spas, a golf course, over 70 shops, restaurants and bars as well as three award-winning entertainment venues, including a 10,000-seat Arena.
