Shout Out for the Humanities has been cancelled on October 26, as we didn’t receive enough submissions. This is the second time we’ve cancelled this event due to low participation, so we will no longer be offering it. The CPH has implemented several new events this semester that have been successful, such as our Impressions in Red Art Exhibition at the Old Stone House. We will continue to solicit feedback from students and the community to hold events that draw excitement and participation.

Questions and comments can be directed here.

Stoic philosophy, developed by the ancient Greeks, ponders questions about life and how people should treat others, while ridding oneself of emotions in order to prevent suffering. This year's theme is "Stoicism at Work." As part of the event students, faculty, staff and members of the community read and work through Stoic texts in thinking about how to better overcome the personal and professional obstacles that may arise in the work and educational environments.

If you want to participate, there's still time! Contact Andrew Winters at andrew.winters@sru.edu.

Ever wonder what is happiness? The SRU Philosophy Club and CPH invite you to the Socrates Cafe at North Country Brewing Company next Monday, October 23 at 7PM.

Students and the public will discuss the nature of happiness and what it takes to live a good life.

ALL are welcome to participate. 😀

October is National Arts and Humanities Month (NAHM) – a coast-to-coast collective recognition of the importance of culture in America. NAHM was launched by Americans for the Arts 30 years ago as National Arts Week in honor of the twentieth anniversary of the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1993, it was reestablished by Americans for the Arts and national arts partners as a month-long celebration, with goals of:
 
FOCUSING on the arts at local, state, and national levels;
 
ENCOURAGING individuals and organizations to participate in the arts;
 
ALLOWING governments and businesses to show their support of the arts; and
 
RAISING public awareness about the role the arts and humanities play in our communities and lives.

We have a TON of exciting events planned this October to celebrate National Arts & Humanities month. Check out what's happening on campus and in our community!
