There’s a lot going on at your LLCs this month! So first thing’s first: if you’re not already following us on Facebook<\/a>, take a minute and do so now. We’re running a month-long celebration of African-American History Month on our Facebook<\/a> page, featuring interviews with famous African-American authors, trivia about local civil rights luminaries, and videos with recommendations from FSCJ administrators, faculty, staff, and students about books by African-American authors that meant something to them, but if you don’t follow us you’ll miss out on the great content we’ve put together.<\/p>\n

Another reason to follow us on Facebook<\/a>: it’s a great way to keep track of all the events we’re running throughout February at our various campuses. First, get mindful at Deerwood Campus from February 13th-17th as they present Mindfulness Week in collaboration with the Mindfulness Parlor. All week long you can reflect on the moment and share what you are grateful for with a collaborative flipchart display and learn more about mindfulness practices by browsing our library displays on meditation, yoga, and stress relief. From 1:00pm-4:00pm Tuesday and Thursday you can take some time to relax in a meditation room with yoga mats, dim lights, and calming images and sounds or reduce stress with our selection of herbal teas. From 1:00pm-2:30pm on Tuesday and Thursday, enjoy a curated selection of films in G2730 that will help you understand how to be more fully present in the moment.<\/p>\n

Next, at Downtown and South Campus we’ve got two events on African-American representation in pop culture: Miles to Go: Why a Black Spiderman Should be Just the Beginning<\/em><\/a> takes on representation in graphic novels on February 21st in the small auditorium at Downtown Campus, and More Than a Half Life: Black Video Game Characters from Assassin’s Creed to Watch Dogs 2<\/em><\/a>\u00a0tackles representation in video games and will be in the Lakeside Room at South Campus on February 28th.<\/p>\n
