Are you in an intercultural romantic relationship? Would you like to help educate other UMKC students about intercultural relationships through sharing about your experiences? If you and your significant other belong to two different races, ethnicities, nationalities, cultural groups, or religions, then we would like to ask you to help others learn from your experiences!
The UMKC Counseling Center is producing a video of interviews with intercultural couples to be shared online with other UMKC students. The goal of this project is to educate students about the strengths and challenges of intercultural relationships and how to improve their relationship skills. Volunteers need to be available for approximately one hour in March and willing to share openly about their relationship. Couples or individuals are welcome. If you would like to volunteer to participate in this video, then please contact Kelly Caver at caverk@mail.umkc.edu or 816-235-1257 by March 1st.

An acclaimed innovative theatre company, The Civilians has been celebrated for its endlessly inventive and entertaining spin on the most pressing issues of our time. The company now brings its provocative and groundbreaking approach to storytelling to the Rep for the world premiere of The Great Immensity, an original musical that is part mystery and part morality tale. Woven into the story about two sisters’ global journey are authentic interviews with top scientists, indigenous community leaders, and those who have been touched by the reality of climate change, deforestation and endangered ecosystems.
The Great Immensity is supported by funds from the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts and was developed at Princeton University in partnership with the Princeton Environmental Institute and the Lewis Arts Center/Princeton Atelier.

This event is FREE and open to the public, but PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.
