El Instituto's MA student, Ruth Edward's, is presenting their thesis presentation and everyone is welcome to join! Title: "A Home in Both Places: Gender, Afro-Caribbean Migration, and Transnational Homemaking in Central Brooklyn, 1924–1980" by Ruth Edwards. Brief Description:The history of Afro-Caribbean migration to New York City is often studied starting in 1965 with the post-racial promises of the Hart-Celler Immigration and Nationality Act as it precedes the direct increase of Afro-Caribbeans moving abroad. This has framed the Caribbeanization of New York City as a later development, and obscured the ways that Afro-Caribbean women, who migrated before this period, cultivated transnational networks of care that have served as the structure for other migrants—family and not—who came before them, after them and persist in the present. Examining the lives of four Afro-Caribbean women through a historical lens, this thesis recognizes the role of gender in processes of transnational homemaking in Central Brooklyn as a way to build a picture of some of the dynamics which shaped Afro-Caribbean migration between the years of 1924 and 1980. I consider archival documents from The Martha Gayle Collection provided by The Center for Brooklyn History in order to illustrate Afro-Caribbean life during this time. Altogether, I argue that these stories depict a different landscape for Afro-Caribbean life, and the Caribbeanization of New York City, before the 1970s in ways that transform the ways in which we conceive of the lives of Afro-Caribbean women as they sustain transnational relationships and networks of migration beyond traditional economies

To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4700 (tel:+18604864705) This session is held by Carlos- Gonzalez- Martinez, LCSW (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/carlos-gonzalez-martinez/) For many concerns that students face – like overwhelming stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, academic difficulties, and more – group therapy is the best option for support and healing. Facilitated by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) counselors, our therapy groups encourage peer support, promote emotional wellbeing, and increase a felt sense of connection. Participants often find that they feel less alone in their struggles, and walk away with newfound support and ideas for coping.

This session is for F-1 students who will do an internship or work off-campus before graduating, or for students who have internships and clinical placements as part of your academic curriculum. All internships, work and placements off-campus must be authorized through Curricular Practical Training (CPT) or Pre-Completion Optional Practical Training (OPT), even if unpaid and required for your class or program. If you are considering a future off-campus work opportunity or placement, you are required to attend this workshop before you apply for CPT or Pre-Completion OPT with ISSS.

This nine-week program introduces students to opportunities for leadership at UConn and beyond. Students will develop their leadership competencies through self-reflection, experiential learning, exploration of team dynamics, communication, and cultural competence. As a result of this experience, University of Connecticut Discovery Students will understand the basic concepts and principles of leadership, explore, define, and develop personal values, and begin to take an active role in positively influencing the university community and beyond.
