Our first training session will focus on the foundation skills for finding your best opportunities: understanding your own priorities for your time here, and communicating your priorities and skills to others. We'll practice developing and sharing a short networking message, learn information and skills for adapting to new environments, and take time to connect with and support other spouses who are looking for new opportunities for work or professional development. We will also discuss how to tap into volunteer opportunities — a great way to explore a new field and make contacts in the Boston area.

<div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Recent developments in digital humanities pose anew the challenge of sources, concepts, and possibilities for doing gender and women’s history for periods and places that had until recently seemed difficult to research. This talk will probe issues raised by the WWQI digital archive project.</span><div>
<span><br></span></div><div><span>Women's Worlds in Quajar Iran (WWQI) is a digital resource that preserves, links and renders accessible primary-source materials related to the social and cultural history of women's worlds in Qajar Iran. Through the use of technology it brings together little know archives scattered across the world. Given the dearth of available primary-source materials related to women in the Qajar era, it is not surprising that, to date, the vast majority of Qajar social histories have focused almost exclusively on the struggles, achievements, and day-to-day realities of the men of that period. This is in part a matter of expediency; while men's writing have been easily accessible in various national archives for decades (and many have in more recent years been published in edited volumes), most women's writings, photographs, and other personal papers have to date remained sequestered in private family hands.</span></div>
<div><p><span>WWQI aims to open up the documented social and cultural histories of Qajar women, thus allowing for the examinations of broader patterns of life during this era. Our collection has paid specific attention to materials that will illuminate women's relations to each other and to family members of various generations, their roles in life cycle rituals, their perceptions of women outside Iran (the Ottoman Empire, South Asia, and Europe, in particular), and the interconnections that women's activities, networks, and allegiances wove between various ethnic and religious communities. </span></p>

Because your talents represent the very best of you, they are your greatest opportunities for success in college, your career and your personal life. The Clifton StrengthsFinder measures the presence of 34 talent themes. This session will allow participants to take the Clifton StrengthsFinder and find out their top five talent themes and how to capitalize on this knowledge. Participants will learn how to apply their strengths to maximize performance and make career and job decisions.

<div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Synopsis: In the autumn of 1941, Amelia J. McGee, a young woman of Cherokee and Scotch-Irish descent, and an outspoken pamphleteer for the NAACP, hastily sends her daughter, Ella, alone on a bus home to Georgia in the middle of the night—a desperate measure that proves calamitous when the child encounters two drifters and is left for dead on the side of the road. Ella awakens in the homestead of Willie Mae Cotton, a wise root doctor and former slave, and her partner, Mary-Mary Freeborn, tucked deep in the Takatoka Forest. As Ella heals, the secrets of her lineage are revealed. <br>
<br>Jessica Maria Tuccelli reveals deep insight into individual acts that can transform a community, and the ties that bind people together across immeasurable hardships and distances. Illuminating the tragedy of human frailty, the vitality of friendship and hope, and the fiercest of all bonds—mother love—the voices of <i>Glow</i> transcend their history with grace and splendor.<br>
