Language, Life, and Love: An Anthology of Latinx Stories
Join us in PULPO's first ever Language, Life, and Love: An Anthology of Latinx Stories! This event will be a public showcasing of the diverse narratives of the Latinx community on campus, highlighting the often-overlooked intersectionalities of identities within our community. We would love for you to participate in these monologues and there are many ways to do so. You can submit and present your own original work, you can elect to submit an anonymous piece of work, you can read an anonymous submission, or you can simply show up and eat!

Favianna Rodriguez: Art as Activism
When Favianna is not making art, she is directing CultureStrike, a national arts organization that engages artists, writers and performers in migrant rights. She also cofounded Presente.org, East Side Arts Alliance (ESAA), is co-editor of Reproduce and Revolt and is well known for her passion and participation in the “Migration Is Beautiful” campaign.
Some topics she may also address based on our phone conversation:
• How does art inspire new ways of thinking?
• How can art-based strategies strengthen our work?
• What is the role art can play in activism?
• What different strategies are used to create successful* movements?
• Intersectionality and intentional inclusion into movements
• The need to address healing and self-love in social justice work
She’s planning on doing an engaging keynote art lecture and a hands on art workshop that allows students to explore how art impacts their imagines. Students will be able to create pieces that reflect their activism, identity, hope, or even healing and take the piece home with them

PUMP!!
Princeton University Mentoring Program is now recruiting mentors for the 2016-2017 academic year!!
If you have ever felt confused or overwhelmed at Princeton or have benefited from a mentorship experience on campus, now is the time to take on that mentor role for an incoming Princetonian by joining PUMP!! You can help them navigate campus and make their transition into campus life a lot easier!
PUMP is a mentorship program which offers mentoring services and resources for students of color at Princeton. Under the Carl A. Fields Center, we receive direct administrative support to develop activities and event programming for our community of mentors and mentees. Our mission is to enrich and support the lives of students through leadership, mentoring, and community building.
PUMP matches each first year participant with a mentor from the sophomore, junior or senior class based on similar academic and social interests. The combination of one-on-one and cluster mentoring is designed to support students and also encourage them to contribute to the general Princeton University community.
We are revamping the program next year to include more study breaks, cultural events, family dinner outings, connections to scholarship/internship resources, and cool NEW GEAR!!!
For more information or questions please contact us at CAF@princeton.edu
