As our second Global Speaker Series event, Thayer was honored to welcome musician and human rights activist Arn Chorn-Pond to campus. A survivor of the Cambodian genocide and former child soldier, Arn shared his powerful story of survival, resilience, and the transformative power of music.
Through personal stories, music from his bamboo flute, and a message rooted in kindness, love, and unity, Arn challenged our students to consider the impact they can have on the world around them.
Thank you, Arn, for sharing your story and reminding our community that we all have the power to choose kindness and create change.
