The GCC Library holds numerous events and educational opportunities throughout the year. Check out some of our upcoming events to learn more.
Unboxed: The Intersection of Identities
Wednesday, 2/19/2025 @ 1pm to 3pm
Location: Library Classroom (L-138)
Join us for a hybrid crafting session using boxes to express the intersection of identities. Everyone in the GCC community is welcome to join to learn about ourselves and others.
We are coming together to create boxes that explore and portray identity-related issues, especially those that might be challenging to talk about. Using our boxes, we will tell stories and send messages. We’ll teach each other about differences that can lead to being left out or mistreated and differences that result in joy and pride. We’ll teach about ourselves so others can know what we need to excel. Full project description is available here.
Boxes and a mix of craft supplies will be provided. You are welcome to bring anything you like to express yourself in your craft.
Please register so we can have enough supplies on hand for crafting fun! If you are interested in participating online, please register by 2/14 so we can get you crafting supplies in advance and share the link.
We are pleased to offer 2 hours of FPG!
