The Gods of Comedy
The Gods of Comedy is a fast-paced comedy by Ken Ludwig about two young classics professors, Daphne and Ralph, who make a career-changing discovery: a supposedly authentic, unknown manuscript of the ancient Greek playwright Euripides. When the manuscript goes missing, Daphne desperately calls on the gods of ancient Greece for help—and to her shock, the Greek god Dionysus and the Muse Thalia actually appear. Instead of quietly solving the problem, the two immortal visitors create chaos across a prestigious university campus. As Dionysus and Thalia try to navigate the modern world, they become involved in misunderstandings, romantic complications, academic rivalries, and outrageous schemes. Their larger-than-life personalities clash with the serious, status-conscious culture of the university, leading to mistaken identities, physical comedy, and increasingly absurd situations. The play is a screwball farce that combines: Greek mythology, modern college life, romantic comedy, satire of academia and social status…

Prioritzing Well-Being is Revolutionary
In the 21st century, it's revolutionary to reject traditional approaches to public management of our physical, behavioral, and emotional health. Every facet of how we address our health is shaped by social and cultural factors that dictate not only how we express (or conceal) our status, but also when and how we access appropriate treatment/care for our experiences, if at all. This is a choose-your-own-adventure style interactive group activity. Participants will be introduced to a prompt that guides them through social and emotional health scenarios, requiring role-playing and discussion to choose a course of action. It's easy to proclaim Self-care is important, but what happens in "reality" when our decisions are placed within the pressures of occupations, social obligations, and the judgments of peers? Read the scenarios, discuss the potential impacts of your decisions, and see if the path you choose leads to the healthiest outcomes! .

White, Black, Brown: How Nation Made Race in Puerto Rican Chicago
A portrait of the Puerto Rican community’s experience of racialization in Chicago Initially, both supporters and opponents of Puerto Rican independence promoted the assimilation of fellow migrants as white citizens. The three-night-long Division Street Riots marked a fundamental pivot point in 1966, ending the pursuit of whiteness and opening the door to waves of nationalist militancy during the 1970s. By the 1980s and 1990s, Puerto Rican nationalists in Chicago had entered electoral politics, building a broader notion of Latinidad even as they softened its radical edges. .
