Long before women were permitted to vote or to be ordained as ministers, many of them played important roles in building the faith we know today as Unitarian Universalism. Activists, suffragettes, religious educators, journalists, formerly enslaved people, many of them ultimately found their way to the pulpit. We will share the lives of several of them, including Sophia Lyon Fahs, Frances Barrier Williams, Maja Capek, Sofia Betancourt, and Susan Frederick-Grey, who have contributed, each in their own way, to the tradition of our liberal religion.

Huck Distinguished Lecture in the Life Sciences: J. Drew Lanham – “Coloring the Conservation Conversation”
See event website here.
Join the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences for its distinguished lecture series featuring J. Drew Lanham from Clemson University. In this lecture, Lanham will discuss what it means to embrace the full breadth of his African-American heritage and his deep kinship to nature and adoration of birds. The convergence of ornithologist, college professor, poet, author and conservation activist blend to bring our awareness of the natural world and our moral responsibility for it forward in new ways. Candid by nature — and because of it — Lanham will examine how conservation must be a rigorous science and evocative art, inviting diversity and race to play active roles in celebrating our natural world.
About the Speaker:
A native of Edgefield, South Carolina, J. Drew Lanham is the author of The Home Place: Memoirs of a Colored Man’s Love Affair with Nature, which received the Reed Award from the Southern Environmental Law Center and the Southern Book Prize, and was a finalist for the John Burroughs Medal. Most recently, he is the author of Sparrow Envy: Field Guide to Birds and Lesser Beasts. He is a birder, naturalist, hunter-conservationist, and a 2022 MacArthur Fellow. An Alumni Distinguished Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Master Teacher at Clemson University, he and his family live in the Upstate of South Carolina, a soaring hawk’s downhill glide from the southern Appalachian escarpment that the Cherokee once called the Blue Wall.

After-Supper Talk: The Vital Role of US Foreign Assistance
2025-03-20 19:00 - 20:30 | UUFCC – Room 6, 780 Waupelani Drive, State College, PA, 16801, United States
Join Christy Delafield, a dedicated humanitarian with extensive experience working in disaster and conflict zones, as she shares a personal account of the vital work done by USAID and other humanitarian organizations. She now faces the uncertainty of job loss due to attacks on U.S. foreign assistance programs. Christy has experience traveling in disaster-impacted locations like Yemen, Syria, South Sudan, and in conflict zones such as Nigeria and Mosul.
Christy will address the alarming consequences of recent funding cuts, explaining how these reductions threaten not only global stability but also local economies in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania farmers, scientists, and vendors are directly impacted by the halt in foreign aid, as many rely on USAID-funded programs to distribute crops and monitor diseases. With nonprofits struggling to stay afloat, this funding crisis risks undoing over six decades of American investment and could lead to a global catastrophe with far-reaching consequences for America’s safety and international standing.
