The Anne Frank Project (AFP) invites the campus community to fill the AFP Student Lounge with PRIDE, self-expression, and joy during Queer Creations on Monday, April 25, at 5:00 p.m. in Campbell Student Union 400H.

Come to a safe space to create anything from art and poetry to songs and makeup looks that tell your story as a queer person or an ally in the LGBTQ+ community.  

The AFP uses the power of stories as a vehicle for community building, conflict management, and identity exploration. Inspired by the wisdom of Anne Frank, AFP surfaces, develops, and shares stories that have been stifled by oppression. 

For more information, please contact Gabriella McKinley, AFP student engagement coordinator, or visit the AFP Queer Creations website.

Please join faculty colleagues for an informal conversation about engaging students in their own learning on Tuesday, April 26, from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. in Butler Library 318. Faculty members are encouraged to share with the group a strategy or instructional idea that worked to increase student engagement.

Alternatively, faculty members might bring up for discussion an idea or strategy that didn’t work as planned, with ideas about how to modify the approach.

Session facilitators are Pixita del Prado Hill, professor of elementary education, literacy, and educational leadership; and Ted Schmidt, professor of economics and finance. Please register through the Workshop Registration System.
