Theatre AUM presents Child’s Play

Theatre AUM will be presenting Child’s Play by Kevin Ferguson Nov. 1–11. Child’s Play is directed by Neil David Seibel and is Theatre AUM’s entry into the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF)

Child’s Play centers on a traumatized child who has stopped speaking. She is helped by a therapist who struggles to peel back layers of mistrust by entering the internal world of the little girl to help her confront the dragon that has stolen her voice and threatens to completely destroy her.

Nov. 1–11 | Theatre AUM in Taylor Center

Show times are 7:30 p.m. Thursday thru Saturday and 2 p.m. for the Sunday matinee. General admission is $10; $5 for senior citizens, students, and military.

UNIV 1000 midterm presentations successful

The UNIV 1000 students presented their midterm projects this week in the WASC. In a conference-style presentation utilizing trifold boards, students revealed connections made between their SMART career goals and their majors. They also explored the costs associated with obtaining a degree and indicated the resources AUM offers that will help them achieve their goals. Additionally, students were required to review three of their peers’ presentations.

The UNIV midterm presentation process provides students with opportunities to engage with their instructors and fellow students as well as create a stronger connection to their major and college. Great job students!

Service-learning projects focus on World Mental Health

Since Oct. 10 was World Mental Health Day, the theme this year for service-learning projects focused on the many changes experience by young adults and how stress and confusion affects their mental health.

Raising awareness of the importance of student mental health was the goal of UNIV 1004, AUM’s student success course for Bridge students, as they participated in midterm projects. Nine classes of students brainstormed, created, and implemented projects to put a smile on students’ faces and in their hearts and minds as well.

Students handed out notes with inspirational messages and stress-relieving techniques, created videos and PSAs for students regarding positive ways to deal with anxiety and depression, encouraged students to write words of encouragement on T-shirts, and placed mental health awareness posters around campus.

You can read more about World Mental Health Day online. Or, for more information on mental health, you can visit AUM’s Counseling and Health Promotion Services office or call 334-244-3469.
