We will share our techniques and traditions and celebrate our connections to one another — our community.   Light refreshments will be served.  This event will be held in the Haas Library on the Midtown campus  from 4 – 5:30 p.m. \nCome and share your traditions and practices with us and discover that we all journey to the same destination — we just take different paths to get there. \nAll  are welcome.

SUMMARY:In Their Shoes: Author Talk with Joanna Dreby
DESCRIPTION:IN THEIR SHOES – AUTHOR TALK WITH JOANNA DREBY: Join students\, faculty\, and staff for a special program in partnership with The WCSU Libraries\, WCSU UndocuAlly\, Ben & Jerry’s\, CT Students for a Dream\, and ALCU Connecticut! \nIn “Surviving the ICE Age\,” sociologist Joanna Dreby draws on interviews with young adults with foreign-born parents to better understand what it was like to grow up during a time of heightened U.S. migratory control. Dreby also highlights stories that offer hope. Young adults developed strategies to persevere\, and children who grew up in communities and families that openly talked about migration felt empowered and fared much better\, especially when they had access to resources\, such as adequate food and shelter\, mental health services\, and community support.” \nRead more about Joanna Dreby at https://libguides.wcsu.edu/in_their_shoes/joanna_dreby and make sure to join us! \nWhen: Monday\, November 24 | 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.\nWhere: Ruth A Haas Library\, Midtown campus
