What does it mean to be an ally? How can you shift from focusing on intent to focusing on impact? Join us to learn how you can individually and collectively make a positive difference in your community, workplace, campus, educational system, or any other type of group by recognizing and responding to barriers.

Join us for Social Justice Cinema! We will be watching Shirley in honor of Shirley Chisholm. Don't miss this inspiring film about a trailblazer in American history!

This interactive workshop explores Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy (CSP) as a tool for fostering belonging, engagement, and success for BIPOC and other minoritzed students. Dr. Kareem Watts will share insights from his arts-based research on how Black and African American professors use hip hop pedagogy (HHP) to enhance student learning and challenge traditional education norms. Join us to gain practical strategies for creating inclusive, culturally sustaining classrooms that advance equity and social justice.

The Music Department is sponsoring five world music workshops as part of our course Music in World Cultures, taught by Miriam Gerberg, ethnomusicologist.  Observers are welcome to join us in Sundin Music Hall. This installation features Pooja Goswami Pavan, North Indian vocals and tabla.

In this poetry workshop, nationally touring artist and activist Joe Davis will interweave poetry, body-centered skill-building, and healing justice practices to invite participants to reclaim their collective power. No need to identify as creative, all experience levels are welcome. Together we'll practice envisioning and embodying a world of joy, beauty, and human flourishing!

Fireball is Hamline’s annual off-campus, semi-formal dance. Held on a Saturday each spring, students get dressed up, load the buses, and enjoy a night on the town with appetizers, a DJ, and dancing. 

Mark your calendars! This year's Fireball Dance will be on Saturday, April 5, 2025, from 8 to 11:30 p.m. at the Nicollet Island Pavilion. 

Attending an information session is a great way to learn more about Hamline's School of Business master's degree in business (MBA), business analytics, management and leadership, and public administration.
