The Anne Frank Project's fifth annual conference is right around the corner. Next week, our campus will be abuzz with scholars, artists, activists, students, and professionals examining this year's theme, "Transforming Lives." AFP is a campuswide social-justice initiative of SUNY Buffalo State. Please encourage your students, friends, and colleagues to redirect their in-class work to the multiple sessions presented by more than 50 presenters from around the globe.

This year's featured speakers include

• Rebecca Davis, activist and choreographer, who brings dance to street children in post-conflict countries like Rwanda and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
   
• Carl Wilkens, activist and author, who was the only American who stayed in Rwanda during the 1994 genocide. His efforts saved the lives of hundreds of orphans.
   
• Michael Martin, executive director of Native American Community Services of Erie and Niagara Counties, who will remind us of our local responsibilities and histories with Native America and Western New York.
