Dear family and friends,
I am writing to share with you what my experience has been on the front lines of COVID and to make a plea...
We're two weeks away! Registration is open. This fall's virtual fair will take place on Handshake on Thursday, October 22 from 12 noon-3pm EDT. In advance of the event, schedule one-on-one meetings with employers, as well as sit in on 30-minute group meetings #GetHiredStJohns
Register to Vote!!! The deadline to register in NY is Oct 9. Exactly 100 years ago, in Oct 1920, the Church of St. John the Baptist connected to @StJohnsU told their parishioners, especially the women about to vote for the first time, to make sure to vote! #stjohns150#VOTE

@CSiriano@NYGovCuomo my husband made a set of these for our family. Material is around .3-.5 micron pore size, very inexpensive and was easily found online. Who can he talk to about how he made them?
Sylvia Wynter has told us over and over:
The academic disciplines are CANCELLED. The idea of “Us” and “not Us” is CANCELLED. The myth of “Man” as the ultimate form of humanism, CANCELLED.
Scientists, poets, educators, organizers, artists, scholars, writers... let’s sit & talk
