SUMMARY:Former ACLU President Addresses Free Speech in Higher Education at NMU
DESCRIPTION:  \nNadine Strossen\, past president of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)\, will present “Free Speech and the Crisis of Higher Education: a Conversation with Nadine Strossen” at Northern Michigan University. The event is scheduled from 1-2:40 p.m. Thursday\, Nov. 21\, in 1320 John X. Jamrich Hall. \nA leader at the forefront of constitutional law and civil liberties for decades\, Strossen has testified before Congress on multiple occasions and addressed diverse audiences around the world through media commentary and presentations at more than 500 universities. \nShe was quoted most recently in an Oct. 23 New York Times story related to free speech titled “Professors in Trouble Over Protests Wonder if Academic Freedom Is Dying.” The section she is featured in reads: \n“Academic freedom is not absolute. It does not protect ‘propagating wrongheaded ideas’ in teaching or research\, said Nadine Strossen\, a former head of the American Civil Liberties Union. And it does not put faculty members above the law or above campus rules meant to make sure protests\, whatever their point of view\, do not disrupt learning. But it means that academics are broadly allowed the First Amendment right to express opinions or to speak beyond their area of expertise outside the classroom\, including on social media. Yet that is where many faculty members are getting into trouble\, Ms. Strossen said.” \nStrossen’s written works include HATE: Why We Should Resist it with Free Speech\, Not Censorship and Free Speech: What Everyone Needs to Know. Her 1995 New York Times notable book\, titled Defending Pornography: Free Speech\, Sex\, and the Fight for Women’s Rights\, was recently republished as part of the New York University Press “Classic” series. She also participated in Free to Speak\, a three-part Public Television documentary that examines controversies over free speech across nations and time. \nStrossen is a senior fellow with the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education\, and the John Marsall Harlan II Professor of Law Emerita at New York Law School. She continues to serve on advisory boards for the ACLU\, Academic Freedom Alliance\, National Coalition Against Censorship and other organizations.

SUMMARY:"The Last Five Years" at NMU
DESCRIPTION:NMUDoIt\, a student theater group established early this year at Northern Michigan University\, will present its first full-length production—the musical The Last Five Years—at 7:30 p.m. Thursday\, Nov. 14 through Saturday\, Nov. 16\, in the Panowski Black Box Theatre. Tickets are free (donations accepted). Written and composed by Drama Desk winner Jason Robert Brown\, The Last Five Years is described as an emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their 20s who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. \n“It’s a different approach in that the character Cathy is telling her story backwards from the end of their relationship and Jamie is telling his from the beginning\, tracing it to the end. Their stories only cross in the middle\, when they get married\,” said student director Lia Hielkema. “It premiered in the early 2000s and has continued to be a fan favorite. The show is completely sung through\, and it’s comprised of entirely solos\, except for two duets. It explores what it’s like to be young and in love and not quite yet established.” \nKayleigh Clark\, who played Hope Harcourt in the NMU production of Anything Goes\, will star as Cathy. Liam Fisher\, who recently portrayed Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show\, will play Jamie. \nThe group’s faculty adviser\, Donna Poirier of the Music Department\, said this student-developed group is a valuable complement to the academic programs and shows offered by NMU Theatre & Dance. \n“I think it’s terrific to allow students these opportunities to really take the helm\,” she said. “They’re ready for the responsibility\, and they’re getting experiences behind the scenes\, like directing\, perhaps a little bit more so than they would with one of our faculty-run mainstage productions. They also are getting a close look at the economics behind theater productions\, and how much time that takes. They’ve done a tremendous job of stepping up to the plate and making sure that their bases are covered. It will be exciting to see initiative and creativity like this on our campus\, and I’m hoping that it will inspire other students across departments.” \n“Northern has had plenty of student productions and there’s another production company running called Fountain Space Theatre Company\, but to my knowledge\, this is the first one completely student-founded and student-funded\,” Hielkema added. “We obtain funding through the Student Finance Committee.” \nHielkema co-founded NMUDoIt with Ryan Zepp and they serve as president and vice president\, respectively. Kendyl Dahlstrom and Madalyn Hasyn are co-production managers. \nThe Last Five Years has been translated into a handful of languages and was named one of TIME Magazine’s ten best shows of 2001. A film adaptation was released in 2014\, starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan. \nThough admission is free\, advance tickets are required and can be obtained at https://linktr.ee/nmudoit

SUMMARY:Chelsea Cutler & Jeremy Zucker to Perform at NMU
DESCRIPTION:Multi-platinum solo artists Chelsea Cutler and Jeremy Zucker\, who released their new album brent iii today\, will make a stop at Northern Michigan University on their “Brent Forever: The Tour” on Saturday\, Nov. 16. \nThe doors to the Berry Events Center open at 6 p.m. Opener Adam Paddock\, a Nashville-based artist whose discography is described as “the intersection between energetic pop and intimate singer-songwriter\,” takes the stage at 7\, and the headliners will follow at 8. \nCutler and Zucker will perform fan favorites\, including the double-platinum “you were good to me” and the gold-certified “this is how you fall in love\,” alongside music from their newly released album. \nCutler played soccer in college before turning her attention to music. She released her first EP\, Snow in October\, in 2017 and quickly attracted attention with singles like “Your Shirt.” Her indie-pop debut album\, How to Be Human\, came out in 2020 and gained attention with its raw and introspective style. \nZucker was a biology major in college\, making music in his dorm room before deciding to pursue it full time. His breakthrough came with the single “comethru” in 2018\, a song he wrote in response to post-graduation uncertainty. His debut album\, love is not dying\, was released in 2020. \nCutler and Zucker collaborated for the first time in 2018 on the track “better off.” They released their joint EP brent (2019)\, with followups brent ii (2021) and now brent iii. \nNorthern Michigan University Arts and Entertainment is sponsoring the concert in partnership with the Student Finance Committee. \nAdvance tickets for NMU students are $15 for seats and $20 for floor; general public tickets are $25 for seats and $30 for floor. Day-of-show ticket purchases are $35. All are available at tickets.nmu.edu.
