This past summer a group of students, led by Professor Ernest Johnson, experienced a 4-week summer program in Cape Town where they examined the social and cultural history of South Africa and explored current efforts to create a democratic, multicultural nation. Students participated in social and historical lectures and tours in Cape Town and the surrounding area. They also visited high school and elementary school classes, attended lectures by community leaders and supervised home-stays inside “Black” townships and homelands.
For more details about the trip and what students experienced, join us in a conversation with Dr. Johnson Wed., Oct. 28 in the PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208) from 12:30-1:30 p.m.
*This event is co-sponsored by Shoreline Study Abroad, International Education

In honor of Disability Employment Awareness Month, the Office of Special Services (OSS) is working to raise awareness of disabilities by offering a movie screening of FIXED.
FIXED Mon., Oct. 26 from 1-3 p.m. (movie is 60 minutes, with a discussion afterwards for those who can stay) in room 1504.
What is FIXED about??
A haunting, subtle, urgent documentary, FIXED questions commonly held beliefs about disability and normalcy by exploring technologies that promise to change our bodies and mind forever. Told primarily through the perspectives of five people with disabilities: a scientist, journalist, disability justice educator, bionics engineer and exoskeleton test pilot, FIXED takes a close look at the implications of emerging human enhancement technologies for the future of humanity.
Check out the trailer here.
Please contact the Office of Special Services if you have questions or would like to schedule a discussion of the topic or a showing of the movie in your class.

Get your tickets for Shoreline’s Theater Department’s presentation of Avenue Q – opening this Fri., Oct. 23 and running through Nov. 1. This laugh-out-loud show is “an autobiographical and biographical coming-of-age parable, addressing and satirizing the issues and anxieties associated with entering adulthood” – as told by puppets!
One of the longest-running Broadway shows, Avenue Q is the winner of the TONY® “TRIPLE CROWN” for BEST MUSICAL, BEST SCORE and BEST BOOK. Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. This musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named PRINCETON who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. There, he meets KATE (the girl next door), ROD (the Republican), TREKKIE (the internet sexpert), LUCY THE SLUT (need we say more?), and other colorful types who help PRINCETON finally discover his purpose in life!
Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere. Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children’s show; a place where puppets are friends, Monsters are good and life lessons are learned. That said, it’s not recommended for minors under the age of 15.
Selling out fast – Get your tickets here now!
