LSSU Library Scholar Series Presents ” A Doctor (Of Philosophy) Diagnoses Anxiety”.

LSSU Library will host its first Conversation Café with the topic of “Living Versus Thriving in the EUP”; we invite you to join us for an engaging evening of conversation in a format that that allows even strangers to quickly get into deep, compassionate discussion.
Dr. Kristin Larsen, PhD, LMSW, ACSW, will share information about QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Suicide Prevention Training. Following Dr. Larsen’s presentation, attendees will meet at Pleger Commons for a candlelight vigil in remembrance of lost love ones and for the survivors of suicide. Afterwards we will kick off the Cycle the Globe Campaign to raise awareness for suicide prevention efforts around the world.
We would like to invite you to join us for the National Endowment for the Arts sponsored Big Read kickoff event at Lake Superior State University Library. The campus and local community are reading The Round House by Louise Erdrich, a story set on the Ojibwe reservation of North Dakota.
We are honored to have Bryan Newland, Chairman of the Bay Mills Indian Community as our keynote speaker for this evening’s event.
Following Chairman Newland’s address, we will watch a short documentary, “This River” which offers an indigenous perspective on the tragic experience of searching for the many missing and murdered Indigenous women.
Joining us for a panel discussion on these issues along with Bryan Newland, will be Chief Judge Jocelyn Fabry of the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians, and the Executive Director of the Diane Peppler Center, Betsy Huggett.
Afternoon coffee and delicious treats will be served by LSSU Catering.
Masks and social distancing are required.
As a follow up to our Culinary Series, where we enjoyed a demonstration on Lacto Fermentation, we are excited to bring you a talk on food preservation, with MSU Extension experts, Beth Waitrovich and Stephanie Ostrenga Sprague. Please join us!
This virtual presentation featuring Beth Waitrovich and Stephanie Ostrenga Sprague with MSU Extension will cover the basics of food preservation including equipment needed, ways to preserve food including canning, freezing and dehydrating, what foods need to be canned in a pressure canner and what can be processed in a hot water bath or steam canner. A question and answer session will follow.

There are still some spots available for what is shaping up to be a fabulous program with stops in Limerick, Galway and Dublin. You will explore cultural, interdisciplinary, and healthcare issues in Ireland and will experience the richness of Irish history, music, art, traditions and cuisine during the trip. Please contact [email protected] for further information.
Galway, a small city of almost 80,000 on Ireland’s west coast will host festivals, exhibits, concerts and workshops throughout the year relating to the Irish language, landscape and migration.
The events are by artists from Galway in addition to European artists who will “unveil their own interpretations of these themes,” the city’s 2020 programme website states. – By Euronews • last updated: 31/12/2019
It might just have been named a European Capital of Culture for 2020, but Galway City, in the west of Ireland, wasn’t in need of any help where the arts are concerned.
