So put on some eyeliner and grab your dancing shoes, I’m Max Ackman and this is Graveyard Club, LIVE from MWMF 2022, tonight on The Live Feed.
Original Air Date: 06/03/22.

St. Cloud State University has its first named department thanks to a generous $1 million gift from Judy C. Pearson, who was celebrated on campus on September 22, 2022. The Judy C. Pearson Department of Communications Studies gift will help students, faculty and the community with international educational grants and scholarships, academic conference grants and guest speakers. She gave her generous gift because of her love of her experiences as an undergraduate student at SCSU.

In this intimate interview with Judy you’ll learn about her life’s journey from Isle, Minnesota to achieving her academic and professional goals, her successes and failures, and what shaped her to give back to the university. She is a dynamic woman who is living a full life.

Disruptive Narratives highlight people impacted by history and systemic processes of neglect and disinvestment but may not have a seat at the table and may not feel seen. This is space for people radically re-imagining a path forward but not necessarily a space for those who are unpersuaded by the need for a better world where Black futures matter. We are focused on sharing perspectives that are often unshared or unheard because they challenge what we think we know. In this program, guests are the experts of their own reality.
