Attend ‘A Look Within: The Killing of George Floyd And The Traumatic Response’
“But all our phrasing – race relations, racial chasm, racial justice, racial profiling, white privilege, even white supremacy – serves to obscure that racism is a visceral experience, that it dislodges brains, blocks airways, rips muscle, extracts organs, cracks bones, breaks teeth. You must never look away from this. You must always remember that the sociology, the history, the economics, the graphs, the charts, the regressions all land, with great violence, upon the body.” – Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me
On Friday, June 5, from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., please join two of Shenandoah’s mental health counselors, Karina and Tija, as they facilitate a therapeutic space in response to recent events and the culmination of racial injustice. Together, we will process ways to pay attention to our own emotional and physical responses through body scanning, grounding techniques, and self-care strategies designed to promote healing and well-being. Attend this event via Zoom. This event is for Shenandoah students only. Questions? Contact counseling@su.edu.
Complete Survey For Bikeshare Program
Over the last decade, Bikeshare programs have grown exponentially in cities large and small as an alternative form of transportation and an economic development tool. A bikeshare program allows individuals to rent a bike, available at multiple docking stations throughout the area, for a short period of time for recreation, trips to work or appointments, or to connect to existing public transit, etc. When the trip is over, the bike can be returned to any docking station located within the City. The Winchester-Frederick County Metropolitan Planning Organization recently initiated a feasibility study to determine if, and at what scale a bikeshare program could be implemented in the Winchester area. An online survey for the general public has been organized to gauge public interest and identify potential docking locations and bikeshare program features residents would like to see should a program be implemented. The survey is open through Monday, June 22. Questions? Contact Amanda Kerns at Akerns@nsvregion.org.
