Join us for an inspiring performance by Denice Frohman, a powerhouse poet and former Women of the World Poetry Slam Champion whose work has been featured in The New York Times, Buzzfeed, and on NPR. Her performances explore identity, culture, queerness, and social change—and have been seen on stages from The Apollo to The White House.
The Humanities: Honoring Connections and Belonging Here and Beyond
This year’s theme, Honoring Connections and Belonging Here and Beyond, invites an exploration of the many ways human connection fosters a deeper sense of belonging across individual, communal, and global contexts. At the core of the humanities is a commitment to examining the bonds that unite us—across academic disciplines, cultural identities, generations, and geographic boundaries. Our personal and professional relationships with others enable discussions, reflection, and an appreciation of diverse perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding of the social frameworks upon which our local and global communities are built.
At a time when there is so much division and a loss of connection and compassion in our world, exploring how students, faculty, staff, and community members build connections that foster a sense of belonging and why these attributes are important through the lens of the humanities is critical.
We invite members of the 草莓视频APP community across all disciplines and areas to share how their research, teaching, service, or student engagement initiatives contribute to this vital conversation. Whether your work is interdisciplinary, intergenerational, community-based, or culturally rooted, we encourage you to explore the many ways Montgomery College cultivates a sense of belonging and affirms the value of human connection.
