The CFA cordially invites you to a special Sophomore Night performance of WesWorks on Thursday Oct 14 at 7pm on Andrus Field. Come sit under the stars with your classmates and with beautiful stage lighting and live music, help us gather as a community to honor and give thanks to the extraordinary facilities staff who have worked hard to keep our campus open and safe during COVID.
WesWorks is, a multi-site, celebratory, outdoor performance featuring the work, skills, and stories of Wesleyan’s Physical Plant, Custodial Operations, and Grounds Crew employees. Choreographed by Austin TX-based Forklift Danceworks, WesWorks connects students, staff, and faculty through a community-based dance-making process to cultivate awareness of and appreciation for the labor of our essential workers, improve relationships among employees and students, and encourage collective stewardship of our campus spaces.
This event is open to the public, so please bring your vaccinated family and friends!
Learn more at the WesWorks blog and reserve your free ticket today!

On November 16, 1990, Congress passed the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). This important human rights legislation aimed to restore dignity and respect to the ancestral human remains and cultural objects being held in museum collections, and provided a process for their repatriation to culturally affiliated tribes, lineal descendants, and Native Hawaiian Organizations. Join us for a panel discussion about what repatriation means for indigenous communities, museums, and our understanding of the human past and our collective present.
