Meet chef, foraging TikTok star and outdoor educator Alexis Nikole Nelson, better known as the "Black Forager" on social media! With over 5 million followers joining her viral adventures of foraging and cooking, Nelson reframes the worlds of food, botany and nature, helping people make environmentally sustainable food choices while also celebrating the outdoors and changing fraught relationships with food. Nelson's videos shine a light on the historical and cultural roots of foraging in African American and Indigenous food traditions that have traditionally been repressed. Nelson's work has been featured in places like the New York Times, Bon Appetit, NPR, the Kelly Clarkson Show, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and she hosted a 15-episode series on botany for YouTube's educational channel, Crash Course. Nelson received the James Beard Award for “Best Social Media” in 2022, and she was selected for Forbes 30 Under 30, 2025 TIME100 Creators and as a TikTok Tastemaker. Registration required. All are welcome.

Join the Mental Health Reps for a night of messy painting! Food will also be served. Just like life, art can be messy, too. Expressive arts, like the art we'll be doing here, can help mental and emotional wellbeing by providing a way to process feelings, reduce stress, and increase self-awareness.

The Panel will be hosted on Wednesday, October 29, at 7 PM. It's going to be a discussion about the intersection of law, activism, politics, and the state of freedom of expression in a world where it's increasingly being challenged, and we will be hosting three really interesting speakers. One, Harvey Silverglate, is a lawyer, writer, and activist with a long history of protecting freedom of speech, including defending university students during anti-war demonstrations at Harvard. He's also the co-founder of FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education). Professor Anjuli Fahlberg is a Latin America regional expert who works in the department of sociology and has done crucial research into social movements and activism under repression in the Americas. Professor David Art teaches comparative politics and brings an expert perspective on the behavior of extremist right-wing and populist parties and authoritarianism. There will be food provided.
