Fall 2024 Body Project Sessions Open!

The Body Project, Florida Atlantic’s body acceptance program is now open for registration! This free, proven 5-hour program empowers women to:

Resist cultural pressures to accept the appearance ideal
Reallocate your valuable time to something other than striving for an unrealistic body
Increase confidence and body satisfaction
Bond with other like-minded students

What’s fun about The Body Project? Jam-packed gift baskets (including a voucher to the food court and a t-shirt) after the 2nd session and fostering new friendships. The sessions are broken up into two 2.5-hour sessions, held one week apart. You will be part of a small group of women discussing the appearance ideal and how to fight back against it. Please be aware that we will be referring to unrealistic ideals for women, however the basic information learned is applicable to all.

If you would like to register, please follow this link: https://owlscare.fau.edu/

Sessions will be held on the following dates:

Class A
Wed, Oct 2 + Oct 9
Starts at 5:30 PM

Theatre Lab presents, “The Last Yiddish Speaker” Saturday, Oct. 26 through Sunday, Nov. 10 at the Heckscher Stage in Parliament Hall.

In a dystopian future where a Christian Nationalist regime has come to power following a successful insurrection against the US Government, Paul and his teenage daughter, Sarah, live under the radar in a small town upstate as Christian-passing, despite being Jews who fled New York City. When an ancient Yiddish-speaking woman arrives on their doorstep, Paul and Sarah are forced to decide between fleeing again or fighting for their faith, their heritage and their identity.

Reduced rates for Florida Atlantic faculty/staff/students. Get tickets here.
