SUMMARY:"Sugarcane" Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 24\, 2026\n4:30–6:30 p.m.\nGuggenheim Memorial Library Room 101 \n\n\n\nRated R \n\n\n\n\nA stunning tribute to the resilience of Native people and their way of life\, “Sugarcane”\, the debut feature documentary from Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie\, is an epic cinematic portrait of a community during a moment of international reckoning. In 2021\, evidence of unmarked graves was discovered on the grounds of an Indian residential school run by the Catholic Church in Canada. After years of silence\, the forced separation\, assimilation and abuse many children experienced at these segregated boarding schools was brought to light\, sparking a national outcry against a system designed to destroy Indigenous communities. Set amidst a groundbreaking investigation\, “Sugarcane” illuminates the beauty of a community breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and finding the strength to persevere.

Every fall\, approximately 200 to 400 members of the Monmouth University community sign up to be a volunteer at one of the 10 to 25 Big Event work sites in the towns that surround campus. \nThe Big Event has become somewhat of a national phenomenon at a number of colleges and universities throughout the United States. It originated at Texas A&M University in 1982 when 6 students felt the need to give something back to the communities of College Station and Bryan Texas. \nDuring the Spring 2000 semester\, members of Monmouth University’s Student Government Association attended the Conference of Student Government Associations (COSGA) at Texas A&M where our Senators learned all about the Big Event. They decided it was a program that should be brought back to the Monmouth community. \nTwenty four years later\, the Monmouth University Big Event has become a signature program for SGA. The Big Event is held in fall and anyone affiliated with Monmouth University is encouraged to become a Big Event volunteer. If you are a member of a club\, organization\, fraternity/sorority\, athletic team\, department\, office\, or all by yourself\, we hope you will want to join the Big Event volunteer team. \nWould you like to become a Big Event volunteer? Contact SGA by calling 732-571-3484 or email SGA@monmouth.edu.

SUMMARY:Why Americans Doubt Climate Science
DESCRIPTION:A presentation by Peter Jacques\, Ph.D. \nIn 2023\, fifteen percent of surveyed Americans did not think climate change was happening\, and 28 percent responded that warming was not caused by human activities. 22 percent were doubtful or dismissive of climate change. Why is this when over\, according to a 2021 survey of climate experts found that 98.7 percent of them said the climate is warming and humans are driving this global environmental change? Between confirmed climate experts who published 20 or more peer reviewed papers on climate change between 2015 and 2019\, there was 100 percent agreement that the Earth is warming mostly because of human activity.  \nAt least part of this disconnect is because there has been a US-centered counter-movement organized to cast doubt on climate change science and climate scientists. This effort is organized by policy elites in conservative think tanks who have guided some of our narratives and these narratives have turned an elite-led counter-movement to one that is populist. This discussion will attend to the social science surrounding this climate change counter-movement (CCCM).

SUMMARY:Arlo Guthrie - What’s Left Of Me - A Conversation With Bob Santelli
DESCRIPTION:Arlo Guthrie is returning to the stage for a series of appearances after his retirement from musical performances. As the oldest son of Woody Guthrie and Marjorie Guthrie\, Arlo made his first appearance onstage at age 13 and built a renowned career touring North American for six decades. In October 2020\, Guthrie announced his retirement from the road amid the onslaught of the Coronavirus pandemic. Two years later\, he’s had enough of retirement and launched a new company Gut3 Productions with his wife Marti Ladd to present the new “In Conversation with Arlo Guthrie” four-part series. \n“These engagements won’t be musical events\,” said Guthrie. “We’ll be setting this as an interview with talking\, joking\, telling stories…as well as answering questions from the audience. We’ll have some fun\, and we’ll talk about serious subjects\, as well”. \nWhat’s Left Of Me features Arlo in conversation with Bob Santelli\, Executive Director of the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music and includes rarely seen video footage along with an audience Q&A. Unscripted\, unrehearsed\, and under no illusions but his own\, Arlo Guthrie returns to venerable venues as a man who has seen it all\, and lived to tell the story after 60 years on the road. \nMr. Santelli\, a contributor to Rolling Stone magazine\, is co-author with Nora Guthrie of Woody Guthrie – Songs and Art\, Words of Wisdom\, which will be available for purchase. \nAbout Arlo Guthrie \nArlo Guthrie was born on July 10\, 1947\, in Brooklyn\, New York; the son of legendary folk artist Woody Guthrie and Marjorie Mazia Guthrie. Arlo grew up surrounded by renowned folk musicians: Pete Seeger\, Leadbelly\, Cisco Houston\, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott\, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee\, and the Weavers. Since the age of 13\, Arlo became absorbed in the music that was shaping the world. By the age of 20\, he was touring overseas. \nA natural-born storyteller and accomplished musician\, Arlo attracted and surprised audiences all over the world with his unique folk style. Arlo’s career soared with his debut of “The Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” at the Newport Folk Festival in 1967. Later that year\, he was nominated for a GRAMMY Award in the “Best Folk Performance” category for the studio version of the song on his debut album\, Alice’s Restaurant. The album went Gold (1969) and then Platinum (1986)\, and was adapted into a film by director Arthur Penn and released a few days after Arlo performed at the original Woodstock Festival in 1969. \nArlo has released 32 acclaimed albums\, has appeared in notable TV shows and movies throughout the decades\, and led a lauded six-decade-long touring career performing on the world’s most distinguished stages. \nAbout Bob Santelli \nBob Santelli is the author of more than a dozen books on American music\, including\, Woody Guthrie: Songs and Art\, Words and Wisdom (w/co-author Nora Guthrie) and Greetings from E Street: The Story of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.  Santelli is currently the Executive Director of the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music at Monmouth University and the Director of Popular Music at Oregon State University. He also was the Founding Executive Director of the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles\, the former CEO and Artistic Director of Experience Music Project in Seattle\, and the Vice-President of Education and Public Programs at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. A GRAMMY winner\, Santelli co-produced with Smithsonian Folkways box sets and books on Woody Guthrie\, Lead Belly\, and Pete Seeger.  He also was one of the executive producers of the public television series In Performance at the White House during the Obama administration and created music education programs with First Lady Michelle Obama. \n

SUMMARY:From Rock and Roll to Recovery and Everything In Between with Ricky Byrd
DESCRIPTION:Ricky Byrd is first and foremost – a man living in long term recovery. He also happens to be part of rock ‘n roll royalty. He is a well-recognized musician who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as the lead guitarist and former original member of Joan Jett and The Blackhearts. Ricky played with Joan from 1981-1992\, and has also recorded or toured with Roger Daltrey\, Ian Hunter\, Southside Johnny and many other talented musicians since that time. \nRicky most recently has been combining his love for music with his passion and mission to help carry the torch of change surrounding the stigma of drug and alcohol use. He hopes to break down the barriers and spread the message of hope\, education\, awareness and addiction resources to his audiences. Using the healing powers of music as a touchstone\, Ricky likes to motivate those early in recovery or still struggling\, along with their family members. Whether it’s through his various speaking appearances\, concert events\, music outreach sessions\, small recovery music groups\, or prevention programs\, Ricky is dedicated to inspiring change. \nAs a songwriter\, who now often focuses on recovery lyrics\, Ricky moves people to laugh\, cry and think. He’s played his songs in the most intimate of rooms as well as to hundreds of thousands all over the world. He recognizes the power of the word and the music and often combines both into a message of hope and encouragement for sobriety. \nRicky can contribute to an event by sharing famous rock ‘n roll stories in a keynote address or by performing recovery music from his latest CD\, Clean Getaway. There is also a special place in his heart for smaller group settings where he can play acoustic guitar and clearly see the faces\, tears\, smiles and struggles up close. Ricky feels that music therapy and the open discussion that follows can lead broken souls to find that little bit of happiness – and encouragement they need to move forward. \nHe presents on the benefits of a sober lifestyle and likes talking to youth\, who are at that age\, where pressures and experimenting can often lead them down a crooked and deadly path. Ricky takes pride in also educating those individuals  in our communities that are somehow unaware and uninformed of the deadly drug and alcohol pandemic we are facing in this country. \nIn 2017\, Ricky received the Drug Free Heroes Award\, presented by Foundation For a Drug free World. He is proud to help others find a message and purpose to getting clean and sober. \nCosponsored by: Monmouth University’s Office of Substance Awareness\, Students in Recovery\, Student Activities Board\, The Music and Theatre Department\nFREE and OPEN to the public\, but registration is recommended.
