A Celebration of Douglass Day!
Mary Church Terrell Transcribe-a-thon
WHEN: Thursday Feb. 10, 1 p.m. until 2 p.m.
WHERE: Jean Braden Center for Women, Gender, and Social Equity, Bisdorf Room 331, Alexandria Campus

In honor of Frederick Douglass’ chosen birthday, February 14th, each year the Colored Conventions Project (CCP) a digital humanities effort, chooses to highlight the works of an important figure in Black history. This year, the CCP will recognize the works of Mary Church Terrell (1863 – 1954): educator, suffragist, and civil rights leader. During the amazing span of Terrell’s life, she witnessed Reconstruction, became one of the first African American women to earn a college degree, helped lead the women’s suffrage movement and the women’s club movement, lived through Jim Crow, and fought school desegregation through Brown. Her remarkable life is a march through major movements in American history, and students transcribing her papers will learn about these important periods through her words. Assistant Professor Susan Monroe will give a talk about the life of Mary Church Terrell on Thursday, Feb. 10, between 1 p.m. until 2 p.m. Also, all campuses are invited to participate in a transcribe-a-thon on February 14 from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. More information about how to take part can be found at the Douglass Day commemoration website.

For more information about these events, please contact Assistant Professor Susan Monroe.

A member of the Northern Virginia Community College family—emeritus arts professor—Ms. Kamen’s artwork in Reveal is a conduit activating the sciences, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) fields together. Guided by her inspiration and research work with experts across the STEAM spectrum, this exhibition illuminates the prowess of artwork development in our daily lives.

Special Guest
Ms. Rebecca Kamen
Rebecca Kamen, sculptor, and lecturer on the intersections of art and science, seeks ‘the truth’ through observation. Her artwork is informed by wide-ranging research into cosmology, history, philosophy, and by connecting common threads that flow across various scientific fields to capture and re-imagine what the scientists see.
Kamen has exhibited and lectured both nationally and internationally. She has researched on collaborative projects at the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard University, the Kavli Institute at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and was an artist in residence at National Institutes of Health, where she interpreted and transformed neuroscience research into sculptural form. Selected as a Salzburg Global Seminar Fellow in 2015, she participated in a seminar titled: The Neuroscience of Art: What are the Sources of Creativity and Innovation?
