Nurturing Hope in Ourselves and Others: The Science of Hope and Well-Being

Panel Discussion/Presentation

Hope is the mindset that drives resilient behaviors in everyone, including women. Hope is the expectation we have that we can identify pathways and generate the agency to attain desired goals. Research shows that hope is a psychological strength that can be nurtured and is one of the protective factors to our well-being.

This presentation and discussion with Dr. Chan Hellman—a professor of social work at the University of Oklahoma – Tulsa, the Executive Director of the Hope Research Center, and the author of Hope Rising—will introduce the science and power of hope, how trauma and adversity impact hope, and practical strategies for building resilience in individuals and communities. Dr. Hellman’s almost 20 years of research at the Hope Research Center demonstrating hope as a protective factor for children and families experiencing adversity and trauma, will be the basis for his presentation. He discovered that hope can be taught and nurtured in children and adults who are facing all types of challenges. We all need more hope in today’s world. Join us and learn more about how more hope can change our lives!

Keynote Lecture, Symposium: Rethinking Gustav Holst and his Music

Lecture/Readings

Presented by Dr. Nalini Ghuman, Professor of Musicology, Mills College at Northeastern University.

2024 marks the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the British composer Gustav Holst. Although his music remains an enduring fixture of the orchestral and wind band canons, scholarship about the composer is rare. One factor contributing to this situation is the outsized influence Imogen Holst’s scholarship plays on our understanding of her father and his music. Her biographical and analytical works remain in print nearly forty years after her death, and despite the works of subsequent biographers such as Michael Short, Alan Gibbs, and Jon Mitchell, the narratives she established remain largely unquestioned. While important work over the last thirty years from Raymond Head, Nalini Ghuman, and others begins to rethink both the historiographical and epistemological frames with which we understand the composer, further work remains to be done to address the complexities and contradictions inherent in Holst and his music.

Front & Center Webinar: How to Change Uncertainty into Opportunity

Workshop/Training

The pace of change has increased massively in recent years. According to the Harvard Business Review article How to Become More Comfortable with Change, “too many of us have the mindset that ‘change is temporary.’ When you see something as temporary, you tend to cope with it instead of accept it — and if you don’t learn how to accept, embrace, and work through your discomfort in unfamiliar situations, you will inevitably find it difficult to progress in the rapidly evolving world of work.” The goal is to learn how to manage our own unique response to change and embrace it. We will focus on how we can unleash our own strengths to achieve even greater opportunities because of the change.

Friends of the Library Fall Lecture: Slenderman

Lecture/Readings

While most people first learned of the creature known as Slender Man in 2014 in the wake of a gruesome attempted murder in Waukesha, Wisconsin, many fans and creators of the online genre known as "creepypasta" had already been familiar with him for years. Blending the tropes of folk legend and literary horror, creepypasta is a collaborative, hybrid genre that provides an entirely new outlet for scaring ourselves silly. This talk will consider the role that the internet has played in reshaping folklore and folk belief, and will examine several examples of contemporary online horror that illustrate the ways in which folklore continues as a symbolic barometer for society's anxieties and fears in the digital age.

"20th Century Soundscapes: A Journey Through Blauth, Berio, Martinu, Bernstein, and Guastavino"

Arts/Entertainment

This recital invites you to explore the rich and varied soundscapes of 20th-century music for clarinet and piano through the works of Brenno Blauth, Luciano Berio, Bohuslav Martinu, Leonard Bernstein, and Carlos Guastavino.

From Blauth’s warm melody textures, Berio’s bold experimentation, and Martinu’s witty charm to Bernstein’s dynamic fusion of classical and jazz and Guastavino’s lyrical and elegant folkloric warmth, join us for an evening where avant-garde meets neoclassicism, popular mingles with classical forms, and tradition and modernity intersect in an exhilarating celebration of 20th-century music.

FSQ at USU: Nature’s Resonance

Arts/Entertainment

Debussy: String Quartet in G Minor, Op. 10
Claude Debussy’s String Quartet in G Minor, Op. 10, a cornerstone of the chamber music repertoire, will close our October concert with its impressionistic textures and vivid harmonic language. This quartet, with its shimmering colors and dynamic interplay, provides a striking contrast to the other works on the program, capturing the visceral beauty and emotional depth that Debussy is renowned for.
Night Fire by Akshaya Tucker
"Night Fire," a work for string quartet and tenor by Akshaya Tucker, was also written for the Fry Street Quartet and premiered last spring in the NOVA series in Salt Lake City. Another work created in partnership with GLFCAM’s "Composing Earth" project, Tucker’s composition, with its vivid textures and poignant text by Wren Brian, confronts us with the terror of escaping a wildfire. The FSQ is joined by tenor Thomas Glenn for this performance.
Bartók: Sonata No. 1 for Violin and Piano
Bartók’s Sonata No. 1 for Violin and Piano, a work of intense energy and rhythmic drive, showcases the composer’s deep connection to the folk traditions of Eastern Europe. Violinist Robert Waters and pianist Jason Hardink will bring this electrifying piece to life, capturing the fiery spirit and intricate dialogues between the two instruments.
