SUMMARY:Sparkle & Shine a Studio 54: Celebrating the Resilient Voices of Women in Music
DESCRIPTION:Free Registration on Eventbrite This Women’s History Month\, a powerful new movement takes center stage to honor the architects of sound and soul. Women In Music\, Monmouth University’s collegiate chapter\, proudly announces an inspiring evening of dialogue\, connection\, and music inspired by the era of disco\, dedicated to the women who are not just participating in the music industry but actively redefining it. “Sparkle & Shine a Studio 54: Celebrating the Resilient Voices of Women in Music” addresses a critical industry gap. While women’s presence on the charts is rising\, executive representation remains stagnant. This gathering serves as both a sanctuary and a strategic hub designed to turn those artistic gains into institutional power. \nNavigating the Rhythm of the Industry\n\nThe heart of the event features a deep-dive panel discussion on the unique journey of women in music. From smashing the “glass ceiling” of the charts to navigating the complexities of technical production and business management\, our speakers will share raw\, heartwarming\, and triumphant accounts of their careers. The discussion will focus on the power of mentorship\, the importance of creative sovereignty\, and the magic that happens when women choose to “build the table” rather than just pull up a chair. \n\n\nFeatured Panelists & Moderator\n\n\nWe are honored to welcome a powerhouse lineup of industry leaders: \n\n\n\n\nJenna Gaudio\, Co-President of Vydia\n\n\n\nSkylar Rupperecht\, Operations Producer at Respective Collective\n\n\n\nHeather de Armas\, COO of Not Dead Yet Media\n\n\n\nKaren Louisa Gross\, Moderator & Founder of She Rocked It Media Productions\n\n\n\n\nA Celebration of Legacy\n\n\n\n“Women have always been the heartbeat of music history\, even when our voices are being overshadowed\,” says Joleen Amer\, event creative director. “Holding this event during Women’s History Month isn’t just about looking back at the icons who paved the way; it’s about fueling the fire for the women who are writing the next verse right now.” \n\n\n\nThe event will conclude with a networking mixer designed to foster lifelong collaborations and live performances by Joleen Amer\, Antonia Bongiorno\, and Marley Bell. \nMedia Contact\nRashida Scott-Cruz (WIMMU Faculty Advisor): rcruz@monmouth.edu\, or 848-207-8217 \n\n

SUMMARY:Native American Boarding School Symposium
DESCRIPTION:This symposium provides a space for generative conversations on what we know about Native American boarding schools and what that knowledge means. Join us in exploring the 20th-century history of North American Indian boarding schools in this two-day symposium\, featuring speakers\, workshops\, and film. \nAbout the Symposium\nIn the late-19th and early-20th century\, throughout the United States and Canada\, federal governments created boarding schools for Native American youth. Student experiences at each school varied\, depending on living conditions\, curriculum\, and who oversaw the school (churches\, federal employees\, trained teachers\, etc.). The boarding schools tried to strip children of their Indigenous culture\, agency\, and family. The white administrators forcibly cut children’s hair\, sacred to many\, and required that they only wear western clothing instead of their traditional clothing. In many schools\, students were expected to adhere to strict rules that helped repress the expression of Indigenous culture. In most schools\, for example\, children could only speak English\, a language completely unfamiliar to them. Failure to adhere to rules and complete assigned work could result in severe punishment. The schools subjected the children to inadequate diets\, rampant disease\, overwork\, and overcrowding\, which along with the poor building and living conditions resulted in poor health and even death.  \nThe governments of Canada and the United States left the history of Native American boarding schools unacknowledged until relatively recently. Stephen Harper\, the prime minister of Canada\, made a formal apology for the implementation of boarding school systems and the trauma they produced in 2008\, with President Joe Biden making the United States’ national apology in 2024.  \nThis symposium brings together scholars who have worked with the history of Native American Boarding Schools in North America. The goal of this symposium is to spark conversation on what is known about Native American boarding schools and what this knowledge means. The Native American Boarding School Symposium will be hosted March 26–27 on Monmouth University’s campus.  \nThe Native American Boarding School Symposium would not be possible without the generous help of the Diversity Innovation Grant from the Intercultural Center at Monmouth University. We are grateful for this grant and thank all of the co-sponsors of this event: the Office of the Provost\, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences\, the School of Education\, the Leon Hess Business School\, the Department of English\, the Department of Criminal Justice\, the Department of Curriculum and Instruction\, the Intercultural Center\, the Department of History and Anthropology\, and the Program in Gender and Intersectionality Studies.
