Post Election - Moving Forward Together - Gallery Walk

Post Election – Moving Forward Together – Gallery Walk
Monday, January 20, at 9:15 a.m.
Farrell Room, Saint Edmund’s Hall
Once all the campaigning and voting is over, we are left to process the results and prepare for the newly elected to take office. When these results aren’t what we hoped for, the prevailing narrative that we are divided can feel true and the future can seem less hopeful. There is another option– we can seek understanding and move forward together as a nation. Faculty, staff, & students are invited to the gallery walk to quietly reflect on questions such as: What do the outcomes of the election mean to you and your community? How are you planning to move forward? What is your experience interacting or staying connected to others you care about who feel differently about the election? What common ground solutions would you like to explore regardless of election results?
Professors, if you would like to have your class participate in the gallery walk, please sign up using the link (https://tinyurl.com/3djswwbw). There will be journals and pens available in the Farrell Room.
Sponsored by Be Well, Bergeron Counseling, and the Institute for Equity & Justice.

A Conversation with International Students: Perspectives of Life on Campus and in an Uncertain World with International Students from Saint Michael’s College and Representatives from the Institute for Global Engagement
In 1967 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave what, at the time, was considered a controversial speech—Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break the Silence—at the Riverside Church in New York City. This speech was seen as a call not just for the United States to get out of Vietnam, but for getting out of a “certain frame of mind, of a way of thinking about ourselves and about the world.” Please join SMC International Students from various countries and undergraduate and graduate levels as they discuss the intricacies of studying away from home, sharing their perspectives and experiences of life on campus and in an uncertain world.

Sending Sisterhood: Building Benevolent Beloved Communities through the United States Postal System with Pamela N. Walker, PhD, Assistant Professor of History, University of Vermont
Dr. Walker’s talk will discuss the new yet hidden in plain sight story of women’s social movement participation during the 1960s through the Mississippi Box Project. The project unfolded through the U.S. postal service, an overlooked government service that was a contentious site in the battle for civil rights. The project allowed ordinary Black women in Mississippi and white women in New England to forge unique relationships and participate in the Civil Rights Movement through the exchange of food, clothing, medicine, letters, and movement information. By the end of the decade, more than six thousand individuals traded goods and letters through the postal system across the Mason-Dixon. Creating their own imperfect beloved communities through the postal service – most without ever meeting in person – Black and white women worked together to literally and figuratively feed the Civil Rights Movement.
