During percussion workshops, Dr. Cody Case will teach a few popular rhythms such as samba-reggae on real Brazilian percussion instruments. No experience is necessary and everyone can play!

“We Are One Body” reminds us that we are not meant to move through life alone. Like the pieces of a broken vessel, each of us carries our own stories and wounds, yet it is through connection, grace, and love that we are brought together into something whole.

Join us for an inspiring evening featuring a panel discussion with five accomplished Latina leaders. Moderated by Ana Gershanik and Mayra Pineda, Co-Chairs of LWF's Cultural Committee, the conversation will explore leadership, career challenges, lessons learned, and perspectives on the future—reception to follow. Co-sponsored by Multicultural Student Affairs and Women's Resource Center.
