How Healthy is Public Health? Table Dialogues

Thursday, May 8th (5:15-7:30 pm) |  Anderson Academic Commons, Special Events Room 290
Join a student-led dialogue exploring our relationships with public health and medical science. From pandemic policies to everyday care to vaccine skepticism, we’ll unpack questions of trust, access, and the role of science in shaping our experiences. How do personal health decisions intersect with collective responsibility and community preparedness? Why do we trust or distrust? How do systems build — or break – connections? Come share your experiences. For students, by students. All students and perspectives are welcome! Food will be provided. Register here: Anderson Academic Commons, Room 290, Thursday, May 8th (5:15- 7:30 PM) Hosted by CERI (Conflict Engagement and Resolution Initiative)

Cristina Vane w/ Nic Clark Band + Dylan Hurwich

Friday, May 2 (8pm) | Globe Hall, 4483 Logan St, Denver, CO 80216
Globe Hall Presents Cristina Vane with Nic Clark Band and Dylan Hurwich on Friday, May 2nd. More than a mere practitioner of her craft, Cristina Vane has a breadth and depth of serious musical skill compiled from countless miles across all kinds of geography. On her third studio album ‘Hear My Call,’ the pairing of a lifetime pursuit and growing treasure trove of songs makes for a record that demands to be heard. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, her sound reflects and amalgam of experiences; born at the foothills of the alps in Italy and raised between Italy, England and France, Cristina’s half American – half Guatemalan heritage is as unique as her sound. She unapologetically blends her rock roots with her passion for pre war blues, old time banjo, country and bluegrass. Since her time busking on the Venice Beach Boardwalk and working at McCabe’s guitar shop, this deft multi instrumentalist has sharpened her fingerstyle/ slide guitar and clawhammer banjo skills and merged it with crystalline vocals, captivating songwriting, and an entrancing stage presence to make for a truly exciting act. Cristina has an extensive touring history and has provided direct support for: Molly Tuttle, Bob Weir, Jerry Douglas, Wynonna Judd, Sam Bush, Nikki Lane, Town Mountain, Duane Betts Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band, Arlo McKinley, and Willi Carlisle. She has been mentioned in Rolling Stone Country and NPR, and was featured in the Bank of America ad for Ken Burns’ “Country Music” documentary. She was an invited guest for Billy Strings’ String the Halls 3, has appeared on Travis Book’s (Infamous Stringdusters) Happy Hour and at Portland Blues Festival, Under the Big Sky, Four Corners Folk Festival, and Roosterwalk. All ages, ticketed guests under 16 ONLY ADMITTED WITH TICKETED GUARDIAN 21+. More info
