WordSmith: Josh Smith ‘11 (the WordSmith) rhymes with raw emotion on a serious level as images of late night innovation, childhood innocence, and liberating contemplations concerning coming of age, soulfully dance through the lyrics. Through the incorporation of the Concert G’s, WordSmith embodies a sophistication and depth that is often lost in music today.Breath of fresh air, anyone?

Because there are healthier (environmentally and bodily!) ways of dealing with your period...
Learn about alternative menstrual products that are easier on you and the environment. Consider that pesticide-laden cotton pads and tampons are being sent by the ton to landfills, while causing serious issues for women and the environment. We'll be sewing our own cloth pads and talking about other options, from organic cotton disposables to the reusable rubber menstrual cup, which is a one-time waste-free (and more comfortable) menstrual product that lasts up to 10 years! The sewing circle will be a safe space to ask all your questions so you can decide what's best for you. All sewing materials supplied, and we'll be raffling off great prizes, including $20 value Diva Cups! Plus, stick around after the workshop for great homemade treats at Earth House's Love Your Blood period party at 3. Wear red and enjoy red and chocolate-themed treats!

Gruen will give a brief talk and conduct a question and answer discussion about the history of environmental justice and the ethics and politics of its movements.
