Join Hamilton Professor Jason Townsend, a conservation biologist who lectures in biology and environmental studies, for a talk about modern orchard sustainability, with a focus on apples, including grafting techniques. Jason is a farmer with a passion for producing high-quality, sustainable, local food as a foil against corporate, resource-depleting, nutrient-poor food. He'll share what he's learned at Kingfisher Farms, the organic vegetable and fruit farm in Oneida County that he owns with his wife, Hamilton Professor of Biology Andrea Townsend.

Professor Ty Seidule and Conor Williams will talk about their experiences serving as the vice chair and lead historian, respectively, of the Congressional Naming Commission, whose remit from Congress is to remove, modify, or rename all Department of Defense assets that commemorate the Confederacy. The Commission found over 1,100 of these assets and worked to change the names of nine U.S. Army posts. This talk aims to encourage the audience to consider how politics, history, memory, and cultures of commemoration intersect in our past and present and how they might help steer our society's future. Sponsored by the Levitt Center.

Social Security's retirement program has been a basic part of American life for more than 87 years. But, despite the age, the size, and the economic impact of the Social Security system, the myths and misunderstandings about what the program is, as well as what it isn’t, are sizable. Kurt Czarnowski ’72, the Social Security Administration’s former Regional Communications Director for New England, will provide a wealth of information about the system.

When we think about manifesting our dreams and goals, there's a myth that it requires lots of action.  While action is an important part of manifesting, there is a pre-cursor to action that is needed to become a manifester. Join spiritual and holistic living influencer Moon Cho '91 as she explains why tapping into the energy flow within you and around you is such a powerful metaphysical tool for manifesting your dreams. She'll provide guidance on what this means and how to do it.
