Women, Work, and Money
EXHIBITION:
"Women, Work, and Money" was an exhibition of 20 artists, in conjunction with Women's Caucus for Art National Conference. The show was organized to address the "impact of a changing political and economic landscape". (Sandra Mueller, organizer)
Quote from juror Helga Christoffersen; In my selection I focused on bringing together a boy of works that are both visually strong and address this year's theme with complexity and rigor. In particular, I looked to works that took on issues of woman's work, rights, and identity today, in ways that speak to fundamental underlying issues in our society that affect us all. I think more than anything, it is important at this moment in time to focus our efforts on building a common ground. This exhibition is an important initiative and an example of a way to bring together a broad range of voices, opinions, and practices under a united and urgent cause.

National Conference of Community College Humanities Association
PANEL PRESENTATION:
Liz DiGiorgio, the UN Program's United Nations Representative, and CUNY/UN Youth Representative Co-ordinator and Mentor, gave a panel presentation at the National Conference of the Community College Humanities Association.

For example, she discussed the importance of starting the course with a review of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, using the illustrations of Yacine Ait Kaci. She also teaches about the United Nations My World Survey and analytics which allows students to see a range of global issues ranked by citizens in countries and regions around the world. She provided resources for teachers to access UN information and to watch UN activities online through web TV.
