Navigating Graduate School: Academic Success Strategies for First-Generation College Students

Time Thu 8/27 • 4PM - 5:15PM PDT RSVP

This workshop will provide useful strategies for navigating graduate school successfully. We will focus on tips and tricks that will help you succeed, as well as elucidate aspects of the "hidden curriculum," or things you're expected to know but not explicitly taught. We will cover a broad spectrum of topics such as managing writing requirements, using organizational tools to stay on track, communicating effectively with mentors to meet your needs, and networking at conferences to build professional relationships. *We are defining a first-generation college student as a student whose parent(s) or guardian(s) did not complete a four-year degree in the United States.

Off-site program: Edgar Arceneaux & Frank Lawson: Place Is the Space

Time Sat 8/29 • 1PM PDT

Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90024

Place Is the Space is a four-hour immersive performance experience combining live jazz improvisation, theatrical storytelling and multimedia design inspired by Sun Ra’s philosophy and his film Space Is the Place. The work functions as both a concert and an experiential ritual where musicians, performers, visual elements and audience members collectively shape the space into a place. Metaphorically building the vehicle that Sun Ra aspired towards, expressing Afrofuturistic themes of transcendence, liberation and joy. This cosmic jam session culminates in the audience crowning a ""New Sun Ra,"" who leads the full audience on a pilgrimage to the Hammer Museum for one final performance, where everyone is invited to play along. Presented in conjunction with the Hammer Museum’s current exhibition SPACE IS THE PLACE, which frames “space” as a conceptual framework inspired by the works and views of experimental jazz artist Sun Ra.
