Jane Quinn, assistant executive director for community schools for The Children's Aid Society, will present "School Social Work in the 21st Century: What Would Jane Addams Do?" at 4:30 p.m. March 15 in Brown Hall Lounge.

Quinn oversees The Children's Aid Society's local and national work to forge effective long-term partnerships between public schools and other community resources, using the society's nine community schools in New York City as both a model and a base for national adaptation.

A reception honoring Quinn and school social workers from the St. Louis metropolitan area will follow the lecture.

On March 23, the Alumni Association and the school's Healing Racism group will co-host a showing of Crash at 6 p.m. in Brown Hall Lounge.

Crash — which won the best-picture award at the 78th Academy Awards March 5 — follows the lives of a diverse group of people living in Los Angeles over the course of two days. As a series of events unfolds, heightening racial and cultural tensions, individuals are brought face-to-face with complexities that their prejudices have prevented them from seeing.

A discussion will follow the movie. Light snacks will be provided. Both events are free and open to the public.
