Do you ever think about your socioeconomic class at Middlebury, but feel afraid to discuss it with others? What if there was a cozy and open space to chat about these things? Our workshop will provide educational materials and community building examining socioeconomic class at Middlebury. Using materials from organizations like Resource Generation and readings such as The Financial Activist Playbook, we will talk about our family backgrounds and money stories in a relaxed environment with tea and snacks. People of all class backgrounds are encouraged to attend!

A comprehensive introduction to traditional Chinese brush calligraphy. We will start from the very basics: how to hold a brush and the basic strokes. Each week will consist of two sessions, with each week focusing on a new style or calligrapher. The leader will give an introduction to each style and demonstrate writing. The participants will then have the opportunity to practice, with the workshop leader giving feedback. During the last session (or two) we will write traditional Spring Couplets on red paper for Spring Festival. No experience necessary.
