SUMMARY:On Being Biracial: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:A provocative conversation and mixer with the creators and select guests of the podcast On Being Biracial held at Temple University\n\n\nOn Being Biracial is a podcast hosted by journalists Daralyse Lyons and Malcolm Burnley exploring the complexities of biracial experiences and identities in the U.S. over the course of 10 episodes. Having interviewed guests in a range of fields and areas of expertise\, Burnley and Lyons sought to amplify the depth and variety of biracial experiences while also identifying overlapping patterns. \nNow\, Burnley and Lyons take these insightful conversations live for an in-person event to discuss themes in the podcast and create space and connection for people who identify as biracial or multiracial. \nJoin Burnley\, Lyons\, and a panel of voices from the podcast at Temple University for a frank and probing conversation about how perceptions and experiences of multiracial people’s identities have shaped their lives. The conversation will be preceded by a reception with light bites and a cash bar followed by a networking mixer with panelists and guests. \nOn Being Biracial is produced in partnership with Philadelphia Journalism Collaborative\, Kouvenda Media\, and WURD Radio. \n \nFeatured Guests\nEvan Fong Jaroff is the owner/operator of Chibanos\, a Chinese-Cuban sandwich shop and mixed-race space that he is launching in Philadelphia. As a Chinese\, Cuban\, Russian American\, he is passionate about exploring and understanding identity\, how individuals define themselves\, and how one’s identity is shaped by society. As a new father\, he is learning a new meaning for the words patience\, tired\, and love. \nPrior to launching Chibanos\, Evan worked in London as a VP of Investment Operations at Capital Group\, a global investment management organization. He led multiple teams and partnered globally to set the people\, process\, and technology strategy for each group. He was an active member of the Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion efforts at Capital\, as well as a co-founder of the European Mental Health Community.

She and her work have been featured in numerous publications including Forbes\, NPR\, Reuters and USA Today. \n \nDr. Kimberly Ortiz-Hartman is a multicultural psychologist\, mother\, wife\, and children’s book author.

Based on her research\, Dr. Ortiz completed her passion project writing a children’s book. Alexa\, What Color Are You? is a loving and colorful story of a young girl exploring her racial identity\, providing children\, families\, and communities with open language to embrace race\, differences\, and multiracial identity. \n \nSarabella Rocha is a tailor and artist based in Mt.

SUMMARY:Arbor Day Tree Planting
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Arbor Day with the Arboretum!\n\n\nThe Arboretum has a longstanding tradition of planting trees on Arbor Day. First observed at Haverford on April 4\, 1902\, representatives of the Pennsylvania Forestry Association came out to the campus to celebrate the holiday. It became such a popular celebration that in the early 1900s a song was arranged by J. H. Redfield\, Class of 1899\, and published by Hums and Noble. Over the years\, the Arboretum has planted hundreds of trees in honor of this special day. \nThis year Aaron Greenberg will be our guest speaker. Aaron is an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist and the Arboretum Manager for Laurel Hill and West Laurel Hill Cemeteries. He is also the state coordinator for the PA Champion Tree Program.  The location and specimen of the tree planting will be announced shortly. Members of Haverford College Arboretum will be able to take home their membership perk of a dividend plant (Scabiosa ‘Pink Mist’) during this event. Parking for off-campus community members can be found in the visitor parking lot.
