Miguel Morales

Writer and activist Miguel Morales attended class to speak to students about what inspires him to write, share some of his poetry, and discuss his experiences growing up as a child farm worker in Texas. I appreciate that Miguel will talk honestly about his perceptions and how his lived experiences, different from my own, impact how he views the world.

Guest Speaker

Jennifer Green, RN BSN BA SANE-A from St Luke's Health System spoke to the class about the Neurobiology of Trauma. Her expertise in dealing with victims of sexual assault helps us understand why people behave as they do after traumatic experiences and how to best help our friends and loved ones should they ever experience trauma.
