Jose Antonio Vargas was born in the Philippines and sent to the United States when he was 12 to live with his mother’s parents. When he applied for a driver’s license at age 16, he learned that he was undocumented. Dear America is his story—but also the story of many others—who are caught in a system without a clear path to citizenship. This is a moving story about courage and determination and uncertainty in growing up undocumented.

We all know that exercise is good for our bodies and January is the most popular time to start thinking about it. But did you know that exercise can not only have immediate long-lasting effects to your brain but it can also have longer lasting effects that can protect your brain from different conditions like depression, Alzheimer's disease and dementia?
Listen to Wendy Suzuki's Ted Talk HERE and then join us for a discussion. We'll talk about our own experiences with exercise and how it may have transformed our bodies or changed our brains for the better.

Presented by Dr. Helen Heineman, President Emerita, Framingham State University
Dickens was the first to give children central roles in his novels, with characters like Oliver Twist, Little Nell, Tiny Tim, Paul Dombey and a host of others. Perhaps his own hard experiences in boyhood, sent to work at twelve in a dismal blacking factory, gave him this subject. This lecture will examine several of his children and will also look at Dickens himself, father of ten children, at once loving, demanding, and distant. Importing the child into a central place in the novel, he made a difference in the way our culture thinks about children.
