April Events
Statewide Campus Community Building Day
Join Massachusetts Public Colleges on April 6, 2022 at 10:30am for Statewide Campus Community Building Day. This webinar unites key stakeholders of the Massachusetts public higher education system who will discuss the importance of standing against racism. Panelists will reinforce the concept of the Statewide Campus Community Building Day in order to to engage students, administrators, faculty and staff to foster a statewide culture of tolerance, equity, equality, and anti-racism, while calling on every one of us to stand up against racial prejudice and intolerant attitudes. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with the panelists through the designated Q&A sessions. Join the Zoom meeting (passcode 120568).
Flee Screening - Pizza and a Movie
Since Pride Month falls in June when many classes are not in session, we will celebrate early this year with “GAYpril”. We will be screening the Oscar nominated film "Flee". This event will take place Thursday, April 7th at 4:00 pm. You can join in Person on Lynn Campus LW222 or Online. We’ll serve pizza for everyone on campus, and those joining online will receive a $10 Domino's e-gift card for participating.

FLEE (90minutes) tells the story of Amin Nawabi as he grapples with a painful secret
he has kept hidden for 20 years, one that threatens to derail the life he has built
for himself and his soon to be husband. Recounted mostly through animation to director
Jonas Poher Rasmussen, he tells for the first time the story of his extraordinary
journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan. Note: Movie audio is a mix of Danish,
Dari, and Russian. Subtitles in English
For Our Fathers
Austrian soprano Ute Gfrerer and Boston-area visual artist Lisa Rosowsky present an unforgettable evening of song and art in honor of their fathers, who lived through two very different experiences of World War II in Europe. Gfrerer’s father was a member of the Nazi Youth Party and a soldier, while Rosowsky’s father went into hiding in France after his parents were arrested and sent to Auschwitz. Both daughters were left with a legacy of silence and grief, which they transformed into art and music. Sunday, April 10 at 7PM. Zoom with limited in-person tickets - Register now to reserve your spot!

"Target: Philadelphia" (57 minutes). In 1985, Philadelphia police dropped a military-grade
explosive on a residential building to end a standoff with Black liberation group
MOVE, setting a new standard for institutionalized violence and the dehumanization
of Black bodies. 11 people, including 5 children were killed. TARGET: PHILADELPHIA
explores the rise of police militarization within the parallel contexts of Black nationalism
and the systemic disenfranchisement that incubates movements like Black Lives Matter.
The veracity of American exceptionalism is examined from a targeted perspective
