Challenged, Banned, or Burned: Reactions to Controversial Books, Then & Now: Negative public reaction to controversial texts goes back centuries, even pre-dating the European printing press. This 45 minute lecture presents an overview of censorship from antiquity to the present day. It specifically explores why materials were censored, how objectionable texts and authors were dealt with throughout history, and how our reaction to controversial material has evolved over time.
Speaker: John T. Rasel

Creative Writing for Everyday Life: In this talk, Dr. Luke Schlueter draws upon his many years of experience with teaching creative writing and on his own creative work in addressing the role creative writing can have in helping persons at any level achieve a fuller, richer, more aesthetically fulfilling life through creative writing.
Speaker: Dr. Luke Schlueter

Managing Conflict Effectively: Conflict is a natural part of working and living alongside others-but knowing how to respond effectively can make all the difference. This interactive training offers practical tools and approaches for recognizing early signs of conflict, stepping in with confidence, and helping de-escalate tense situations before they grow. Participants will explore real-world strategies for managing conflict in a way that centers respect, empathy, and clear communication. We'll also talk about how to intervene as a bystander in moments of tension-including how to assess whether you're the right person to step in and how to approach the situation thoughtfully. Whether you're navigating team dynamics or conflict in shared spaces, this session is designed to help you feel more equipped to respond with clarity and care.
Speaker: Sarah Epperson
