One of the most important steps to future planning and envisioning is processing the data from our ISACS survey. The responses are being studied and analyzed by Chris Evert of the Kensington Group who will be here on Thursday, February 24th to help us understand what all this information is saying to us. Your presence at these sessions is not only important but critical to the discussion of who we are and where we should go from here as a Prep family.
For those unable to attend, we will be streaming the presentation.
Any questions or comments you have for Chris during the presentation can be sent to Brenda Brown at bbrown@csbsju.edu. She will do her best to get your questions answered during the presentation.

Past Streaming Event: Harriet Tubman - Held January 27
"The life of Harriet Tubman, a Champion of Freedom, will be dramatically portrayed from early childhood to adulthood. The audience will travel back in time with Harriet, as she describes her life as a slave. Harriet Tubman was born Araminta Rose around 1820. She worked as a house servant and a field hand on a plantation in Maryland. She escaped from the bonds of slavery in the summer of 1849, when she traveled by night through Maryland, Delaware, and finally to freedom. She soon became known as the "Moses" of her people, as she returned to save others. Her trips were carefully planned and brilliantly executed by the use of the "Underground railroad", an ever changing series of secret hiding places. During the Civil War, Harriet Tubman served the Union Army as a spy, scout, and hospital nurse. After the war, she made her home in Auburn, NY, where she lived until her death on March 10, 1913."
Program Objectives:
1) To bring to life a legend in American History, Harriet Tubman, who helped over 300 slaves gain their freedom on the Underground Railroad 2) To create an awareness of what it was really like to be a slave and work for free. 3) To present the true hardships of slavery. 4) To demonstrate the sheer will power, determination, and perseverance of a woman who, against the odds, gained her freedom.
