SUMMARY:Cape Floral Kingdom Virtual Garden Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join Margaret “Margie” Cox Abbott ’67 for a virtual tour of Cape Town’s gardens! \nWhat makes the smallest floral kingdom so special? It is the sheer diversity and endemism of its flora. Margie has lived in Cape Town\, South Africa for six years and will take us on a short virtual tour of the Cape\, as well as look at the most common indigenous fynbos plants in this remarkable part of the world. She will also take us to “visit” the remarkable gardens of Stellenberg\, Old Nectar\, the Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden\, and a private garden in Constantia. If you have never been to the Cape\, you will want to come – and if you have visited this amazing part of the world\, it will remind you of how special it is. \nAncients\, check Graduway or the Ancient FB page for the link to register!

SUMMARY:Obidimma Olga Ibimina Okobi '94 Imagining Life Event
DESCRIPTION:The Alumnae Board is proud to present the Obidimma Olga Ibimina Okobi ’94 Imagining Life event for current MPS seniors. Imagining Life is an event that gives seniors the opportunity to hear from a small panel of Ancients about what they can expect from life after Farmington. Small group discussions will evolve into a free form conversation about the challenges and rewards of adulthood and how Miss Porter’s prepares its alumnae to shape a changing world. The objective is for students to hear from Ancients and learn that no two paths to a career are alike. It will also be an opportunity for students to learn about the importance of building and maintaining relationships\, both personal and professional.

SUMMARY:Ancient Book Club Discussion | "An Indian Among Los Indigenas: A Native Travel Memoir" by Ursula Pike: Session 2
DESCRIPTION:“A gripping\, witty memoir about indigeneity\, travel\, and colonialism” \nSummary:\n“When she was twenty-five\, Ursula Pike boarded a plane to Bolivia and began her term of service in the Peace Corps. A member of the Karuk Tribe\, Pike sought to make meaningful connections with Indigenous people halfway around the world. But she arrived in La Paz with trepidation as well as excitement\, ‘knowing I followed in the footsteps of Western colonizers and missionaries who had also claimed they were there to help.’ In the following two years\, as a series of dramatic episodes brought that tension to boiling point\, she began to ask: what does it mean to have experienced the effects of colonialism firsthand\, and yet to risk becoming a colonizing force in turn?\n \nAn Indian among los Indígenas\, is a sharp\, honest\, and unnerving examination of the shadows that colonial history casts over even the most well-intentioned attempts at cross-cultural aid. It is also the debut of an exceptionally astute writer with a mastery of deadpan wit.” \nREGISTER BELOW

SUMMARY:Ancient Book Club Discussion | "Human Acts" by Han Kang: Session 1
DESCRIPTION:“A ‘rare and astonishing’ (The Observer) portrait of political unrest and the universal struggle for justice.” \nSummary:\n“In the midst of a violent student uprising in South Korea\, a young boy named Dong-ho is shockingly killed. The story of this tragic episode unfolds in a sequence of interconnected chapters as the victims and the bereaved encounter suppression\, denial\, and the echoing agony of the massacre. \n An award-winning\, controversial bestseller\, Human Acts is a timeless\, pointillist portrait of an historic event with reverberations still being felt today\, by turns tracing the harsh reality of oppression and the resounding\, extraordinary poetry of humanity.” \n  \nREGISTER BELOW
