The Anatomy of Hate: A Dialogue to Hope This award winning documentary reveals the shared narratives found in individual
and collective ideologies of hate, and how we as a species can overcome them. For
six years the filmmaker worked with unprecedented access to some of the most
venomous ideologies and violent conflicts of our time including the White
Supremacist movement, Christian Fundamentalism as an anti-gay platform, Muslim
Extremism, the Palestinian Intifada, Israeli Settlers and Soldiers, and US Forces in
Iraq. By juxtaposing this verite footage with interviews from leading sociological,
psychological, and neurological experts, and interspersing stories of redemption told
by former “combatants”, the film weaves a tapestry that reveals both the emotional
and biological mechanisms which make all of us susceptible to acts and ideologies of
hate, and demonstrates how these very same traits make us equally capable of
overcoming them. The film's director, Mike Ramsdell, will be on site to lead
discussion and feedback after the screening! (for mature audiences only, some
scenes might be disturbing to some viewers)

Leadership Theories: Social Change Model The Social Change Model (Eisenhower/UCLA ensemble, Higher Education Research

Change are principles that are woven throughout the Student Leadership Academy.
Come learn about the Seven C’s and how to incorporate these principles into your
philosophy of leadership!

Yewande Austin: Women’s History Workshop and Concert
From MTV to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, her socially charged brand of
Alternative Soul music speaks universal truths about issues many artists shy away
from: poverty, war, race. While moments opening in 20,000 seat arenas for the likes
of Black Eyed Peas, Enrique Iglesias, Sean Paul and Maroon 5 are impressive to
most, this singer turned lecturer is perhaps most proud of her mission to change lives.
From her humanitarian work as an honorary U.S. Cultural Ambassador across Africa
to her award-winning lectures around the world (2012 U.S. State Department Youth
Empowerment Grant, 2011 U.S. State Department American Speakers Grant, APCA
2007 "Best Diversity Event", APCA 2005 "Best Solo Artist" Finalist, APCA 2004
"Best Solo Artist"), Yewande's global movement is inspiring a legion of youth to live
their best lives today! www.yewande.com. Sponsored by the University Program

Through a Different Mirror If perception is our reality, what messages do we receive that influence our
perception of race, gender, sexual orientation, and ability? Uprooting “isms” such as
sexism, racism, heterosexism, classism, and ableism first requires examining its
origins and taking the time to reflect on both the overt and covert ways prejudice and
discrimination continue to be cultivated. This engaging workshop will require
participants to explore personal dimensions of their own identity and will challenge
attendees to move beyond acceptance to creating affirming and inclusive
communities.
