May 2018 Conversation Topic: Making Meaning of Your College Experience

What was your main driving force for attending college and what have been the most meaningful aspects of your experience? What haven’t you explored yet that you would really like to experience? Do you have advice for those in the process of deciding their next educational endeavor? Come and engage in this conversation about how we can go about experiencing more meaning in our lives.

April 2018 Conversation Topic: Building Connections

College students are surrounded by so many people on campuses in living and learning spaces, and yet many feel disconnected and alone. What causes this disconnection? Is it living in today’s fast paced society, advances in technology, and/or underlying fears that cause division? What could be driving a sense of isolation, and is there anything we can do about it? Please join us for our first Compassionate & Courageous Conversation as we explore the topic of connection.

He Named Me Malala: Movie Screening & Discussion

He Named Me Malala: Movie Screening & Discussion

Boyd Hall 144: 7:00 – 9:00 pm

When you learn, teach. When you get, give. ~ Maya Angelou

In celebrating International Women’s Day, we are partnering with the Frost House Offices to host a screening of this movie that captures one daughter–father duo’s fight for girl’s education. Come watch the movie, He Named me Malala with us and witness how this young girl fought for her education. Malala not only succeeded in her fight to pursue her own education, but is now using her strength to empower other girls, and children, who are denied access to education.
Join us for a constructive dialogue, after the screening, to set our intentions and arrive at some actionable goals to do our bits. Shaun Connors will be facilitating this discussion. Open to the entire PSU Community!

About the Movie:
He Named Me Malala, a documentary by award-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, traces the life of Malala Yousafzai, the young Pakistani activist who was the victim of an assassination attempt because she spoke so passionately in support of girls’ education. The film speaks eloquently about the importance of raising one’s voice to speak out against injustice, about the interior peace that comes with forgiveness, about courage under immense pressure, about the importance of a beloved home and family. It profiles the closeness of a father and daughter who both assume enormous risks to fight for their beliefs. It shows that in a patriarchal society, even a young woman can have a lasting influence.
