Pardon Project
2024-03-17 11:30 - 13:00 | UUFCC – Sanctuary, 780 Waupelani Drive, State College, PA, 16801, United States
Across the United States, 1 of 3 adults has a criminal record, and 1 of every 2 children has a parent with a criminal record. Those histories are keeping people – our neighbors – from better jobs, trades, educations, housing, health care, volunteering in their communities, and more. They are keeping families – and whole neighborhoods – in poverty. People change. Records can too! It’s time we stopped letting history hold us back! Across the country, people are now agreeing: If you paid your debt to society, you should be allowed to work.
Join us for a presentation by Gopal Balachandran, Associate Professor of Clinical Law at Penn State and current State College Borough Council memeber. Professor Balachandran directs the Externships Program as well as the Criminal Appellate & Post-Conviction Services Clinic at PSU while also maintaining an active presence in international legal education by teaching legal writing to LLM students.

Death, Grief, and Comfort
2024-03-24 11:30 - 13:00 | UUFCC – Room 6, 780 Waupelani Drive, State College, PA, 16801, United States
Our companions in life are death and grief and yet they are so difficult to talk about, and rarely at that. In times of loss, how do we find healthy comfort? Further, is emotional comfort something human beings should even expect as part of life?
In the death workshop we will go over practical matters, memorial services, and think about our own deaths. The grief workshop includes how to walk with grief, writing condolence notes, and digging deep into the grief of being human. The last workshop on comfort helps us understand how we can comfort ourselves naturally as well as realign our expectations of comfort.
These three workshops can be taken together or on their own. Each workshop includes videos, exercises, information sharing, and conversation.
