Moana Waialiki is a sea voyaging enthusiast and the only daughter of a chief in a long line of navigators. When her island’s fishermen can’t catch any fish and the crops fail, she learns that the demigod Maui caused the blight by stealing the heart of the goddess, Te Fiti. The only way to heal the island is to persuade Maui to return Te Fiti’s heart, so Moana sets off on an epic journey across the Pacific. The film is based on stories from Polynesian mythology.

Three years into the senseless American Civil War, in 1864, the dilapidated mansion of Miss Martha Farnsworth’s Seminary for Young Ladies is still running, occupied by the matriarch, a teacher and five students in Spanish moss-draped Virginia. However, when a young student stumbles upon Corporal John McBurney, a wounded Union deserter on the verge of death, the already frail balance of things will be disrupted, as the hesitant headmistress decides to take him in to heal from his injury.

‘Elle Varner is one of the most successful artists to debut in recent years. A graduate of New York University’s Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music, Elle believes that being smart is sexy, being educated is powerful, and she tells her story through her art. Born in Los Angeles proper and raised throughout southern California’s city limits, Elle, now a resident of Brooklyn, recalls the first time she really heard her own voice - she was nine years old and singing in her church’s youth choir. That was the spark that ignited her drive to pursue the arts.

Loïca (Ángela Valenzuela) is a Chilean singer/songwriter. Her latest album, “A la Sombra de su Arbol” (2017) is inspired by the effects of climate change, political violence, and personal experiences. Loïca plays music grounded in Latin America and explores sounds from the World. Instruments and rhythms come from the Andean region, Middle East, Africa and North America.

Loïca means “wound” in Mapuche indigenous language. It is also the name of a bird that inhabits the South of Chile and Argentina.

Join female students, faculty/staff, townspeople, and alumnae in a College-wide discussion on the role of women in 2018. Modeled after a “Lean In Circle,” we will discuss whether women need to lean in to the workplace or if opting out is a better solution for today’s feminists. We invite women from all generations and backgrounds to join this conversation so that we may have a range of perspectives – networking encouraged too! Light refreshments will be provided.
