For the eighth year, Chapman University gathers as an interfaith community to commemorate Kristallnacht. We not only remember the violence and destruction that swept across Germany on November 9-10, 1938, but we also remember the courageous people from many walks of life who dared to defy Nazi authority to become resisters and rescuers. Our special guest speaker will be Dr. David Crowe, "Oskar Schindler: A Different Choice," and special guest artist will be Rachel Joselson, DMA - Associate Professor, School of Music, University of Iowa. This event will be held tomorrow, Thursday, November 10th from 7:00pm to 8:30pm at the Fish Interfaith Center.

CES could not be more proud of our Leadership Studies PhD student Beatriz Valencia who appears in this “Women's March Los Angeles - Why I march” video. Tomorrow, hundreds of thousands of women and men will march in more than 600 cities across the world for gender equality. It’s the 50th anniversary of the original March on Washington in 1967, and Beatriz will be at the center of it all in Washington, D.C.
