As the year continues, moving from February to March, the weather will start warming up (we hope). Warmer weather will bring more opportunities to get up and out of your dorm. Here are five things that you can do this week on Lindenwood’s campus and around the St. Charles area.
1. Join a discussion with local activist LaShell Eikerenkoetter.
Tuesday, Feb. 27
4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
Dunseth Auditorium
Members of Lindenwood’s Black Student Union and Genders Sexualities Alliance invite students to join them in a discussion with St. Louis activist LaShell Eikerenkoetter. The event is titled “We Will Win” which will be the major focus of the discussion. Find out more about this event here.
2. Catch a flick at this week’s film series.
Tuesday, Feb. 27 and Thursday, March 1
7 p.m.
Library and Academic Resources Center Theater (Room 343)
On Tuesday, a documentary about an football team with underprivileged kids in Memphis and their volunteer coach will take the screen in “Undefeated.” This film shows their coach helping these youths “beat the odds on and off the field.”
Thursday will bring “52 Tuesdays,” a story about 16-year-old Billie being thrown into adulthood independence when her mother goes through a gender transition.
