Climate Change and Mental Health: Fostering Hope and Connection
2025-10-08 18:00 | Edison Atrium – Room 201
Part of the Climate Crisis Teach-In 2025
This presentation explores the growing mental health impacts of climate change, with a focus on community-level strategies that promote resilience, hope, and collective agency. Drawing on emerging research and best practices, it highlights how climate anxiety and ecological grief—particularly among Gen Z—are shaped by systemic inequities, uncertainty, and disruption. The session emphasizes the importance of intergenerational dialogue, mutual aid, and relational care in fostering emotional support and wellbeing. Participants will be introduced to tools, resources, and evidence-informed approaches for creating communities of care where climate-related emotions are validated and shared. Together, we will envision how interdisciplinary groups and diverse professionals can build climate-responsive mental health systems grounded in justice, connection, and collective action.
Rachel Forbes, MSW (’11M), is the community outreach and engagement specialist at the Urban Coast Institute at Monmouth University. Forbes’s current research and teaching examines the impacts of climate change on mental health and protective factors at the community level. Her work has been published in environmental justice and human rights journals, and has been funded by the CSWE Katherine A. Kendall Institute for International Social Work and the Hispanic Access Foundation. She is editor of the award winning book “Ecosocial Work: Environmental Practice and Advocacy” (NASW Press 2023).

Monmouth County College Fair
2025-10-13 17:00 - 20:00 | OceanFirst Bank Center
Due to the New Jersey State of Emergency for this Sunday, Oct. 12, 2025, the Monmouth County College Fair has been rescheduled to Monday, Oct. 13 from 5 to 8 p.m.
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Welcome to the Monmouth County Guidance Directors Association’s annual Fall College Fair! We are excited to announce that you will be joining us on October 13th, 2025, at 5:00 PM.
The college search and selection process is an exciting journey for families, and college fairs often serve as a significant first step. This event provides excellent opportunities to meet with representatives from various schools, allowing you to identify programs, gather information regarding financial aid offerings, and assess your level of interest. Whether you are a junior narrowing down your options or an underclassman just starting to explore, take this time to discover schools you may wish to visit in person.
As you walk through the OceanFirst Bank Center and review the many available options, consider the following questions: What majors am I most interested in? Is there a specific geographical area where I would like to remain? Would I thrive at a large school, a small school, or somewhere in between? What activities and programs are most important to me? While school websites can provide valuable information about size, programs, and activities, face-to-face meetings with admissions representatives offer a more personalized and authentic view of the school experience. These representatives are highly knowledgeable, so don’t hesitate to ask them plenty of questions.
Be sure to keep track of the answers you receive—take notes, maintain a journal, or create a chart—and share this information with your school counselor, who is a valuable resource in guiding you through your final college decisions.
Once you have narrowed your list using online programs, college “best of” books, the college fair, and, most importantly, your school counselor, you will be prepared to explore colleges firsthand—visiting campuses and perhaps even sitting in on classes! The journey from search to selection can be a fantastic adventure; approach it with forethought, planning, and an open mind, and the path will lead you to the best college match.
Special thanks to Monmouth University for hosting this event and to our “Help Table” volunteers. Without their efforts and support, this regional college fair would not be possible.

Georgia O’Keeffe: the Brightness of Light and Q&A with the Filmmakers
2025-10-14 19:00 - 21:30 | Pollak Theatre
Georgia O’Keeffe: the Brightness of Light is a 2-hour documentary exploring the life and art of the most important woman artist of the 20th century – the ”Mother of Modernism.” In the 1920s, O’Keeffe became famous for her paintings of flowers, bones, and the beauty of nature. She posed nude for shocking photographs by Alfred Stieglitz, but denied that her paintings depicted sexual imagery. In the 1970s, she emerged as an iconic role model for women.
Following the screening, Producer Ellen Casey Wagner and Director Paul Wagner will host a discussion to share insights into the making of the documentary and answer audience questions.
In 1989, one year after they got married, Paul and Ellen Wagner formed American Focus,
their non-profit organization dedicated to the creation of documentary films about America
and her people. Since then, they have released over thirty films, including several feature
films broadcast nationally on public television: Out of Ireland, about the history of Irish
emigration to America; Good Work, about master craftsmen in the building arts; and Black
in Blue, about the four football players at the University of Kentucky who broke the color
line in the Southeastern Conference. In 1999, Paul and Ellen released Windhorse, their award-winning dramatic feature film about young Tibetans and their struggle for freedom under the Chinese communist regime, filmed secretly in China and Nepal. As a team, Ellen is the president of American Focus and assumes the producing duties, while Paul serves as the writer and director of their films. Prior to their formation of American Focus, Ellen worked as a producer for WETA, the public television station in Washington, DC. , and Paul was an independent filmmaker, winning an Oscar and several Emmy Awards for his documentary work.

Yevgeny Zamyatin, We
2025-10-14 19:30 - 21:00 | Virtual
Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! This week’s book is We by Yevgeny Zamyatin.
Yevgeny Zamyatin was a Russian novelist, playwright, short story writer, and essayist, whose famous anti-utopia (1924, We) prefigured Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932), and inspired George Orwell’s 1984 (1949). The book was considered a “malicious slander on socialism” in the Soviet Union, and it was not until 1988 when Zamyatin was rehabilitated. In the English-speaking world We has appeared in several translations.
Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We is a powerfully inventive vision that has influenced writers from George Orwell to Ayn Rand. In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, ruled over by the all-powerful ‘Benefactor’, the citizens of the totalitarian society of OneState live out lives devoid of passion and creativity – until D-503, a mathematician who dreams in numbers, makes a discovery: he has an individual soul. Set in the twenty-sixth century AD, We is the classic dystopian novel and was the forerunner of works such as George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. It was suppressed for many years in Russia and remains a resounding cry for individual freedom, yet is also a powerful, exciting and vivid work of science fiction. Clarence Brown’s brilliant translation is based on the corrected text of the novel, first published in Russia in 1988 after more than sixty years’ suppression.
