Our panel participants will provide their take on winter holidays thru the lens of Unitarian Universalists, Kwanzaa and Christians.

One Love Escalation Workshop

This is the final workshop in the 3-part series to end Sexual and Domestic Violence this Fall. Enjoy a Daryl and Daryl's lunch while watching, "Escalation," a film that honestly and compellingly tells the story of an abusive relationship - from its sweet beginnings until its tragic end. The authentic depiction of unhealthy behavior into violence helps you understand and recognize the early signs of relationship abuse. The 40 minute screening is followed by a 20 minute discussion led by Charla Lauth of Crime Victim Services. Sign up HERE.

Shared Governance

These positions will allow the students to have a voice in the college's decision-making process. The following councils seek membership:

· Planning Council (2 openings)

· Policy Council (2 openings)

· Program Council (2 openings)
