AROUND THE WORLD TRADE CENTER: ARTIST SHOWCASE (In-person at NSK Location)

Thursday, September 19, 3:00–4:30 p.m.

Join us for the opening reception of “Around WTC,” a World Trade Center art exhibit by photographer Samuel Vovsi. In 2007, Vovsi began working in Jersey City, steps from the Hudson waterfront, with a direct view of the World Trade Center site. Witnessing the void left in the Manhattan skyline, he felt a profound sense of loss. Over the years, as he moved to an office in Lower Manhattan near the emerging Freedom Tower, he captured the rebirth of the WTC. This exhibit showcases a selection of his powerful images, documenting the dramatic story of the new World Trade Center rising from the ashes of the old. Meet the artist and experience his journey through his lens.

Registration required, no fee.

TECH WORKSHOP: TAMING THE VIRTUAL CHAOS — THE ART OF FILE MANAGEMENT (Hybrid – In-Person at NSK Location and on Zoom)

Wednesday, September 18, 10:30 a.m.–noon

Fee: $5

You can never find the file you need. You’ve just lost several important files. Your computer is mysteriously hiding or losing your documents. Your device has stopped working, and you can no longer get to any of your files. In this workshop, we’ll talk about why these things seem to be happening to you, how to manage and organize your files so that this does not happen, and the importance of backing up your files. Hints: You are in control. Your computer does not do things on its own. When you lose a file, it doesn’t mean you’ve been hacked.

The workshop will be interactive and include a question-and-answer session. Come prepared with your questions about the topic — or just come and learn about other people’s questions.

Instructors: Evelyn Sasmor, Don Benjamin

Registration required, no fee.

OPEN DOORS: SIRAYA SNEAD

I’m Siraya Snead, and I’ve recently wrapped up my internship at the Center for Modern Aging Princeton. This journey has been incredibly meaningful for me, and I wanted to share a bit about it.

Working here, I had the opportunity to connect with amazing seniors, helping them with tech issues and just being a listening ear when they needed it. I’ve learned so much from them, and their stories have touched me deeply.

As I move forward, I’m excited to apply everything I’ve learned to my future career in social work. Thank you to everyone at the Center for your support and for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful community.

Read more about my experience and what I’ve learned on the blog. https://cmaprinceton.org/2024/09/05/meet-siraya-snead/
