A Beneficiary Showcase of Ukrainian Resilience through Art

This third annual event celebrates the culture and resilience of the nation of Ukraine with music, poetry, film, and more.  Featuring the New York Crimean Tatar Ensemble, with a parade of performances by the Middlebury College Choir, the student band Chapel Hill, Middlebury College’s Ukrainian students, and other special guests. Admission is free, and information about donating to Ukrainian relief organizations will be provided.

Tragic events in the Middle East have impacted many in the Middlebury community, and raised questions about how we may respond both personally and collectively to global conflict and violence on a college campus. How can we make space for authentic expression of grief, anger, and fear, while not contributing to dehumanization and stereotyping? In facilitated small groups, participants in this community dinner will have a chance to share their experiences, hear the perspectives of other community members, and reflect on our core concerns and sense of purpose.

Meet author Caralena Peterson to discuss her book, The Effortless Perfection Myth: Debunking the Myth and Revealing the Path to Empowerment for Today’s College Women.

Books will be provided for the first 20 guests who arrive at the event.

Caralena Peterson is an expert on “effortless perfection” and the mental health crisis it has helped to create on college campuses across the United States, especially amongst women. She earned her B.A. in Women’s Studies and Public Policy at Duke University and her M.A. at the Middlebury Bread Loaf School of English.

 

Come listen to speeches from College members, a performance by Riddim World Dance Troupe as well as other dance performancers.  Stay for the opening reception, watch a light show by the Theatre Department and finish off the evening with live music by Soop Spoons and Mutual Friends.

Community Health Workers (CHWs), the majority of whom are women, are the bedrock of primary care provision across the world but are often employed at the bottom of health hierarchies where they have little voice. We developed a policymaking “Shark Tank” competition for female CHWs working on polio vaccination in Peshawar, Pakistan. Structured processes can allow the least powerful actors in global health structures to suggest innovations that work for them.
