Junior Exercise Science major, James Mercer, found his writing assignment from Introduction to Developmental Psychology, "The Place I am From", published in his hometown newspaper this past February. Clearly, the story he tells of living close to the events of 9-11 and then, enduring Hurricane Sandy, resonated for his small waterfront community of Rockaway, NY - so much so that a local store is selling framed copies of his poem to raise relief money for storm victims!  To read the poem, go to: http://www.rockawave.com/news/2013-02-15/Top_Stories/The_Place_I_Am_From.html

Way to go, James!

Mara Alper (Media Arts, Sciences, Studies) presented her documentary “Forgiveness” at the Center for Peace in Vancouver, B.C. The documentary uses a psychological and philosophical approach to forgiveness to tell four powerful stories from a prisoner, a recovering alcoholic, a grieving mother and renowned world leader, Archbishop Desmond Tutu. A day-long workshop on forgiveness and healing facilitated by Mara accompanied the screening.

The four stories portray different aspects of forgiveness after suffering a loss—loss of innocence, trust, loved ones or liberty—and tell about how people moved on with their lives instead of staying locked in anger. This thought provoking documentary is designed to foster discussion in the hope of encouraging more options for conflict resolution.
