DePaul University- Institute for Business and Professional Ethics - IBPE

The fourth in the series, "The Art of Small Talk & Networking" was a success, as students networked and participated in a social scavenger hunt with business professionals and DePaul University faculty and staff. The event was hosted by IBPE and Department of Management and Entrepreneurship, held in the DePaul School of Hospitality Leadership Marriott Center.

What a great discussion and art exhibit with Lillian Young Art at DePaul University. The artwork of Lillian Young, "Wanted: Runaways" and "The Black Elder Archives", was the centerpiece of the panel discussion "The Problem with Archives" hosted by IBPE and DePaul Humanities Center. The discussion included the difficulty to find historical archive documentation in all public archive institutions (museums, libraries, education) for people of color, genders other than white males and the economically marginalized. Panelists also spoke about the work they are doing to provide inclusion of all people in archives through intergenerational teaching, portraiture and more. Panelists along with Lillian Young were Marcy Dinius, Professor of English, and Laura Kina, Professor and Vincent de Paul Professor, The Art School, with moderator Symone Johnson, Assistant Professor of African and Black Diaspora Studies. Lillian Young is also the Family Programs Director at the Brooklyn Museum.

The Art of Small Talk & Networking is a chance for students to practice networking and small talk with business professionals and DePaul University faculty and staff.

In celebration of Black History Month, DePaul UCAPS will host the brown bag lunch discussion, “Black Mental Health Matters.” The discussion will cover stigma and mental health; trauma, race and mental health; su***de and other mental health topics relevant to the Black community. Dr. Orson Morrison will be the presenter.

The countdown begins! Don't miss "The Problem with Archives: Art, Race, Agency, & Memory" on February 27th, presented by the DHC and IBPE.

Engage with a distinguished panel including Lillian Young, whose evocative artwork in series such as "Wanted: Runaways" and "The Black Elders Archive" challenge our perceptions of historical archiving.

Don't miss this opportunity to reconsider the archives and discover how art intersects with race, memory, and agency to shape our understanding of history.
