Wednesday
“Jazz Up Your Life”
11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Student Union
With midterms now behind them and the end of the term coming into view, students may feel the pressure of multiple exams, projects and homework.
That’s why ASG is hosting “Jazz Up Your Life” on Wednesday to help students unwind.
This is a themed event intended to help students “chill out,” said Steven Page, the SAB wellness programs coordinator.
They may relax, enjoys smooth jazz, games, and prizes at this free event, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Student Union.
Students “are just getting through midterms and need the opportunity to de-stress from school before we go on break, and then come back into another stressful dead week,” Page said.
Stress can negatively affect many aspects of life, including sleep, focus, and drive. And, when students are less stressed they usually do better academically, Page noted.
Sexual Assault
Presentation
noon to 1 p.m.
Jazz Cafe
ASG will host an educational discussion on sexual assault from noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesday in the Town and Gown room.
The event aims to educate the MHCC community about a topic that might not get full attention or be misunderstood, a subject that “goes largely avoided in our classrooms, homes, and social circles,” says Jonathan Albi, director of public safety and campus sustainability.
Albi said sexual assault demands attention and concern, especially if the community wants to work towards prevention.
An October forum on the MHCC campus focused on domestic violence.
This event will discuss what is now defined as “any sexual act that is perpetrated against someone’s will,” according to the federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
This includes rape, abusive sexual contact or unwanted touching, as well as non-physical menacing by means such as threats and verbal sexual harassment.
Beyond explaining sexual violence and its prevalance, there will be specific focus on the connection between our nation’s obsession with pornography and sexual assault, said Albi.
Political Forum
