January 6: Education - Where do we go from here?  with Center for Creative Education 

With COVID, a decline in test scores, teacher shortages, book banning, and a major election coming up in 2024, is it the perfect storm or the perfect opportunity to get back to defining what is takes to educate America’s students? Join Mike Burke, Superintendent of the Palm Beach County School District, and Bob Hamon, CEO of the Center for Creative Education, and the Foundations School as they discuss pertinent topics in education today.

Moderated by Amy Dujon, Vice President, Education at District Administration and University Business

February 3: The 18th African American Film Festival with Kravis Center for the Performing Arts

It’s often said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that beauty is only skin-deep. Yet, beauty is power. So, what is beauty?

Join Terri Francis, author, curator and film scholar, along with Imani Warren, producer and screenwriter, as they explore Francis’ cinematic journey through the social, historical and personal dynamics of how we learn and question what and who we (should) find beautiful in the context of ground-breaking African American films.
