A performance conversation about loneliness and belonging

Join us for an informal performance featuring voices from across campus sharing real experiences with loneliness.

Together, we’ll explore:

• How do we cope with feeling lonely?
• What helps us feel less alone?
• Where and how do we find belonging?

Come listen, reflect and connect with others.
