1pm to 2pm Storytelling Workshop with Annette Fisher (location LRC 319)
Stories have always been part of Annette Fisher's life. From hearing stories about her grandmother's "old country" to studying under Master Storyteller, Laura Simms, storytelling is a rich resource in Annette's life. Stories can be used in curriculum building, in healing ministry, and in robust politics; they surround us and transform us. Having a Masters in Library Science and a Masters in Public Administration is part of Annette's story. Each of us has a story. After all, there is always a yarn to weave, a tale to tell, and a story that just has to be told. Learn to weave your own story at this workshop!
2pm to 3pm The first presentation in the Marywood Faculty Discussion Series on The Politics of Art/The Art of Politics (location: comfy chair area by the Hot Spot sign on library main floor)
